What happens

Reverend Alden fears his congregation is slipping away, never suspecting they're secretly building him a surprise. He's ready to give up.

Meanwhile, Almanzo and John Carter's trip to a Grange meeting in San Francisco turns into a comedy of errors. The two storylines, one heartfelt and one comic, come together for a warm ending.
