About this episode

Aimee returns to discuss the episode 'Castoffs' and its themes of love and acceptance.

Aimee returns to the show to help me revisit Castoffs! “An eccentric old woman who has set up her “house” in the center of town and a stray dog who hitches a ride to Plum Creek from Mankato in Charles Ingalls’ wagon both, in their own way, help Laura through the loss of an old friend and teach her and the rest of Walnut Grove, lessons in love and acceptance.”   Castoffs originally aired on September 12, 1977     The opening song “Albert” is written and performed by the amazing Norwegian band, Project Brundlefly and is used with permission.
