What happens

Mr. Edwards comes back to Walnut Grove alone. His marriage has fallen apart and he has turned to the bottle again.

His drinking leads to an accident that nearly kills Albert, and his friendship with Charles hangs by a thread. Reverend Alden steps in to help the two old friends find their way back to each other. A raw, powerful episode for Victor French.
