* Main/{{Auction}}: What Mrs. Oleson holds to liquidate the Ingalls' assets once they go into debt. Dr. Baker, Jonathan, Rev. Alden and the others stage a plan — about 50 years later, during the Great Depression, this action would be called a penny auction — to foil her. It's later revealed that Nels (who actually originated with the plan) was willing to take a short-term loss, telling the sale-goers that the auction had ended and everything sold; going on past experience, he trusts the Ingalls would eventually repay him (and WordOfGod is they do).

Subverted when Jonathan goes on to tell his friend that he only paid about 10 cents for it and that other close friends also paid pittances for the Ingalls' other property (as part of what was essentially a penny auction), and that Charles should have no problem buying everything back (with no interest). Charles breaks down in tears of joy, knowing that his friendships and relationships with his friends and neighbors are secure.
