They definitely reused the idea from a previous episode for this one. This one hits closer to home though, since it involves Albert.
Albert wants to commit to being a doctor.. Once Charles find out how much it costs, he says to the recruiter that it's beyond his means. The recruiter tells him that since Albert's grades are so good, he may be eligible for a paid scholarship. Charles tells him they are definitely interested.
During all this, Albert has been suffering fatigue and nose bleeds. Early on, theyre not too concerned about it.. But after being back in Walnut grove for a while, the bleeding & fatigue became more frequent. After collapsing during a baseball game, the Dr. Examined him and suggested he be tested in Mankato. They find out Albert has Leukemia. The rest of the episode focuses on Albert living out the rest of his life doing what makes him happy. This is one of the times I am annoyed with Laura. She's being very bossy and selfish to Albert, telling him he should get into bed and rest. Finally, Charles sits her down and sets her straight. He tells her to let Albert do what he wants with the rest of his life. Laura said, Albert should rest. Charles said "for who? For you (Laura) or Albert?" Then Charles finally convinces Laura to admit "My brother is going to die".
