Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In the final episode of Little House on the Prairie's fifth season, Laura (Melissa Gilbert) and Albert (Matthew Laborteaux) promise to honor the last wish of their friend Dylan (Steve Shaw), who is suffering from terminal leukemia. This promise, however, turns out to be a tall order, since Dylan wants to see the Pacific Ocean before he dies. Even so, Laura and Albert set out from their Minnesota home with Dylan in tow -- while their father, Charles, (Michael Landon) conducts a frenzied search for his missing youngsters.
