And neither is your son. The grand boys are curious. I wish I can change places with you because it was still an era where husbands were loyal to their wives. However you know they were still able to do a lot more talking and do a little bit more free handyman wusebut not go to bed. This was really best episode those two really made me laugh during their arguments. Luckily Cora Beth is not in those scenes yet or else she would also be complaining to Grandpa by sleeping in Ike's store. Luckily the grandkids didn't know what was going on , how it feel sorry for Elizabeth you would probably be crying. Grandma never heard what really happened and she never apologized to Grandpa. It only took us dance that brought them back together.

Warning: Spoilers
TITLE: The Separation Original Airdate: September 27, 1973 Teleplay: Richard Carr Story: Ellen Corby Director: Philip Leacock
PROLOGUE: "Whenever I think back on Walton's Mountain and about my family I remember mostly the feeling of love and the happiness we all shared. But though the mountain never changed, there were times, rare times, when those we thought the closest found themselves at odds. It happens in all families I suppose, and it happened one day in ours."
SYNOPSIS: Mary Ellen is looking forward to going to a dance at the Livery Stable. The Caller for the dance is Fred Hansen who Grandma used to dance with. Grandpa is a bit jealous of him but Grandma says she always saved the last waltz for Zeb. "My Wild Irish Rose". A man from the Jefferson County Electric Company arrives to turn off the power when the Waltons can't make their overdue payment. Grandpa goes off to buy some candles at Ike's store but on the way, he has the idea of offering to fix the Baldwin's drainpipes for $2.50 they agree and as part of the arrangement, they go into Charlottesville together. Grandma gets worried when he doesn't return as expected. The Baldwin sisters ask Zeb to make their final stop at Harper's Drugstore. They give him some of their Papa's 1925 batch of the recipe in exchange for which he gives them 3 chocolate sodas. Zeb buys some perfume for Esther for $0.39 Instead of listening to the powerless radio the children make shadow puppets on the wall of the living room. Grandma asks her son John if he has seen his father Zeb. John replies that he hasn't because he spent the day selling their hog. Grandma asks if they can look for Zeb. They make their way to the Baldwin house and are soon greeted by the return of the Baldwins and Grandpa from Charlottesville.
QUESTIONS: What was Esther upset with Zeb for? Why did Zeb sleep on the pole table? What did Zeb forget?
EPILOGUE: "We are all dancers, in each of us there is a need to move to the beat of music, to circle, to tempt, to embrace, and finally to move together in pairs. And when all else of 1934 is forgotten I will still treasure this house, this year, and this night."
MY THOUGHTS: This was a better one especially seeing Grandpa in the doghouse. I give this episode 6 weasel stars
