“The Lord Is My Shepherd” – Part 2 Recap!

from Little House on the Prairie 50th Anniversary Podcast · host Little House on the Prairie 50th Anniversary Podcast

Okay, Bonnetheads, buckle up— Part 2, of "The Lord is My Shepherd" zeroes in on Laura Ingalls, who is drowning in guilt after the death of her baby brother. Convinced she’s somehow responsible, Laura does what any emotionally overwhelmed Prairie kid might do: she runs away into the mountains to have a serious talk with God. (Thanks, Rev. Alden!)Out there, she meets Jonathan, a mysterious mountain man with strong “possibly an angel, or possibly just a hermit who is just wiser than everyone else” energy, played by the one and only, Ernest Borgnine. Jonathan listens, gently challenges Laura’s guilt, and offers calm guidance instead of miracles. He also gives her a hand-carved wooden cross—simple, meaningful, and far more helpful than yelling at the sky.Meanwhile, the Ingalls family launches a full-scale prairie panic, as Edwards and Pa begin searching desperately for Laura. Pa is giving emotional breakdown while being the most gorgeous man that has ever lived (both emotionally and physically!). Spoiler: the cross Jonathan makes Laura comes in clutch and leads them straight to her. Is this a master grand plan after all from an Angel sent by God? Or just a dude on a mountain who got lucky?By the end, the viewer has had at least 5 major emotional breaks as this incredible episode comes to a conclusion. But do we ever truly know who or what Jonathan was?
