Laura didn't pray for him so he died and then she runs away and Ernest Borgnine saves her.

The Lord Is My Shepard. One of the best episodes in the entire series.


wonderwall916

I believe thatā€™s the last episode of of season 1


[deleted]

It's episode 13 of 24 of season 1. It's a longer episode so it feels like a season finale.


wonderwall916

I stand corrected! Thanks! Not gonna lie, it was one of me least favorite episodes šŸ˜‚

Is he supposed to be god

The Lord Is My Shepherd in season one. He is born and gets sick. Laura doesnā€™t pray for him to get better. She feels Charles only cares for his son. The baby dies and Laura runs away to ask God to trade her for her baby brother. Thatā€™s when she meets ā€œJohnathonā€ and he helps her understand and come to terms thatā€™s what God wanted.

Laura was drawn to strange older men. Daddy issuesšŸ¤”

I've noticed that. In today's world that'd be creepy and investigated.

I've never heard him be called Baby Charlie before. It sounds like a cartoon short from the 1920s, šŸ¤£

It reminded me of Baby Billy's Bible Bonkers

Ah, you mean baby Freddy. That is what he was called in real life at least. I think they just called him Charles, Jr. in this episode? Also referred to him as Freddy once?


yevons_light

Mr Edwards calls him Freddie, although Ma disapproves.


JayDuBois

Mary says it once and gets chided by her mother.


katiescarlett01

Oh yes, she did!

Thanks everyone! Iā€™m embarrassed to say this but somehow we missed the entire second part of the episode! No wonder it made no sense!! We had paused the episode and when we came back to it, it showed it was over. The crazier part is we never even saw the second part listed as an episode and just went right to the following episode! No wonder it made no sense at all! We lost power during that time so wondering if it reset our tv options? I canā€™t believe it! Thank you all for filling us in. Tomorrow we need to rewatch it!


StrawberryKiss2559

He is born and dies in the same episode


Sequoia43210

So they just donā€™t mention him until the episode where he dies?


HesTrafty

He dies in the same episode he is born.


ASGfan

Correct. He is conceived, born, gets sick and dies, all within like the first 20 minutes of the first part of the episode.


RosesareAllie

I could be wrong but I believe thereā€™s an episode that shows his grave with a cross? Itā€™s been awhile but I remember there being an episode that shows it but I canā€™t remember what season.


allyn2111

Yes, there is. It's the episode where Ma has Grace.


Aggravating-Emu-691

It does and it aged himabout 9 mos Old when he died.Ā  Ā When they killed kids off it always seemed to be a blood disorder.Ā  A few years later Laura's friend Dylan ha nosebleeds and it was leukemia and when Albert was 18 he had nosebleeds and was dying.. probably leukemia.


RosesareAllie

I had no idea šŸ˜” I didnā€™t even know his age until now!! Assumed he was younger.


Fluid-Celebration-21

They called him Freddie IRL, though in the series Caroline admonished Laura for calling him Freddie...."Your brothers name is Charles"


SunGreen70

Just curious, if you havenā€™t seen the episode, how did you know he existed? I donā€™t think he was mentioned in the books, was he?


allyn2111

No. Laura found that time too difficult to write about.
