The Indians have decided to move west following negotiations with the U.S. government, giving the Ingalls an opportunity to explore their camps. But their increased feeling of security disappears when soldiers arrive to inform the Ingalls that they and others illegally homesteading on what was previously Indian land will be forced to leave.

Goodbyes are said and the final third finds the family packing up and getting ready to head north to a location to be decided. (thetvdb.com)
