The One With A Young Buddy Lembeck. Injun Kid S3 Ep 15

Amelia Stokes returns home to Walnut Grove after being away Twelve years. She doesn't keep it a secret of where she has been during that time...but her father does. In fact, Jeremey Stokes has told everyone in Walnut Grove a flat out lie to hide the truth. The truth being Amelia Stokes was working as a teacher on the Reservation, married a Sioux man and had a child. But Jeremey Stokes doesn't want that information to get out and he makes it very clear that while living under his house it will always his way. This is when Amelia's son, Spotted Eagle, is given a new name, Joseph Stokes and told to be like everyone else. But Spotted Eagle isn't like everyone else. In addition to having a great start with his education (thanks to his mom), Spotted Eagle continues to be who he was on the Reservation. However, his skin color makes him an easy target for being teased and bullied by this week's antagonist, Seth Johnson. As Spotted Eagle navigates this new world he's been thrown into and tries to find a way to connect with his Grandfather, things get a little turbulent. It isn't until Jeremey Stokes witnesses Spotted Eagle stand up for himself, despite circumstances, that he realizes how much he himself has to learn and grow. Will Amelia Stokes ever get back to teaching? Does Laura have a new fishing buddy with Spotted Eagle? How did I never notice that Charles was left handed?
