Then after AlmanzoAlmanzo starts recovering both physically and mentally, and they have a dinner to celebrate it, an embarrassed Eliza Jane shows up and apologizes for interferring on their life and trying to get them to move with her, admitting that she was doing things based on what she wanted, as she saw the opportunity to have them move with her to the city. Laura is understanding and invites her for supper.

* HourglassPlot: For the better part of the two-part, Almanzo is mired in gloom and convinced he's doomed to be a burden to everyone, while Laura tries to keep hopes up and snap him out of his depression. Then when the tornado destroys his and Laura's house, Laura reaches the DespairEventHorizon and becomes stricken with depression, and it's ''Almanzo'' who gets an epyphany and triest to talk her out of it.

* DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery: Wheelchair-bound Almanzo radiates with this attitude so badly that it nearly ruins his character. He totally gives up on happiness and resigns to being a cripple, and it takes a Herculian effort to pull him back into able-bodied life.

* TheEeyore: Almanzo post-stroke, to the point it arguably becomes '''''annoying''''' how mired in gloom and doom he is. Not even the birth of his child stops him from feeling sorry for himself, one of the happiest events one could hope to experience in life. If it had been a normal length episode, yes, this might have worked well, but over nearly all of 90 minutes? Just stop it already!!
