Out of character moments?

The episode where dummy Carrie falls in a well and Caroline loses her sh-t, screaming at Miss Beadle that it's all her fault that Carrie fell in the well and may be dead. None of that struck me as being true to Caroline's character.

the funny thing this episode is usually shown back to back with another 'rag on miss beadle' episode: the winter/christmas blizzard. most of the town is pissed at Miss beadle for letting the kids leave early when it was flurrying. Only little [in the corner] Willie tells her it wasn't her fault as Doppler radar hadn't been invented at that time.
Oh God. Fortune

Just watched "A Most Precious Gift" in S4 where Caroline has baby Grace and is way overly dramatic about wanting it to be a boy for Charles. She's usually the calm and collected one and they just made her a total basket case. But the thing that really struck me as odd was when she went to the fortune teller. Seemed way out of character for her. That whole episode just felt weird.

I hate that episode. But she was pregnant after all and all those hormones during pregnancy can drive a woman crazy. But you're right, no way in hell would have ever visited a fortune teller.

Nobody mentioned an episode in Season 3 called "The Bully Boys", when the these three brothers with the last name Galender move to Walnut Grove and basically terrorize the town.
I won't get into all the details - you can easily find the whole episode on YouTube somewhere. At the end of the episode Reverend Alden has had enough with their antics and lying, tells them when they show up for Sunday services he will run them out of the church and out of the town. The oldest brother basically says, "yeah, you and who else?" and then Reverend Alden yanks him out of his seat and slams him against the wall. You don't see a member of the clergy doing that every day.
Just as the middle brother stands up to intervene, Mr. Edwards and other men step in and show the brothers that the whole town agrees with Rev. Alden, and Rev. Alden lays down the law, saying the brothers will leave town immediately and take only what they brought in with them (why not give them a taste of their own medicine and let them leave town with everything they brought except their pants - that would have been funny). The male members of the congregation march them out while the women with Rev. Alden stay back to sing the first hymn.
Great episode and great example of frontier justice! Too bad that your typical modern day Galender brothers would have "rights" and could file a civil lawsuit against Walnut Grove for trying to do something like this. -

How about The Legend of Black Jake? This episode is so out of character for both Almanzo and especially Charles. It makes them look like a couple of dorks.
First of all neither of the two "bad guys" were all that threatening to begin with and secondly the entire group of prisoners tottering back into town with that goofily tied rope. Come on!!!!

Another two more:
Charles and the eye doctor when he convinced himself so much that the doctor's diagnosis of Mary going blind was WRONG that he didn't get a follow up or second opinion for her.
Alice Garvey was way too tough on Andy in Cheaters. Her expectations of him were outrageous. Her PRIDE (thanks partially to Mrs. Olson) she was misguided in that regard. Fortunately Jonathan didn't put it too hard. He just rode the proud of Andy train.

I was a bit perturbed by the episode where little Albert ran away to Sleepy Eye and started murdering prostitutes. But things came out all right in the end when he confessed his sins to Reverend Alden and all was forgiven in Heaven and in The Grove. But don’t think he got off scot free. He had to say 10 Hail Mary’s as penance.

I think Albert was long dead by then. I’m pretty sure this was a subplot in the episode where Charles built a time machine out of wagon wheels and old plows and traveled forward about 50 years and punched Hitler right in the shnozz
