Katri, Girl of the Meadows - Season 1 Episode 12 The Letter
A foggy morning becomes the ironic backdrop for Katri's illness to have completely resolved itself and for Aapeli to roam all over the Räikkölä farm barking up a storm much to Katri's chagrin when Ulla and Anneli are also awakened; while both ladies are grateful for the wake-up call, Teemu is not quite done sleeping as he directs Katri to work hard. The silver lining this time around is that all the bovines in the herd have acclimated themselves to Katri; as if to congratulate her on recovering from her illness and becoming one of the herd, Viikuna decides to behave herself and lead the herd in giving Katri plenty of down time. Resolved to defeat her scheme of hiding Martii, Helena decides to pay Katri a rather rude visit criticizing the partially completed basket only to have Pekka ambush her with the perspective that Martii has not been in the area; Martii is actually at a nearby lake prosecuting a bountiful angler's adventure that he hopes to share with Katri who has decided on having her lunch break. Unfortunately, Martii and Pekka have not completely resolved their differences from when the cows ran away because of the thunderstorm; just as Martii and Pekka are about to throw down, Katri protests that this testosterone tussle will cost both boys their friendship with her -- along with the three fish Martii caught. The only seventh heaven that is ultimately greater than seeing Martii and Pekka bury the hatchet is when Martii agrees to do what he can to expand Katri's library; right on the heels of that promise, Ulla arrives to deliver Katri a courtesy copy of her mother's letter from Frankfurt along with a letter from Julius and Hilda that both indicate all systems go! on the homefront and to encourage her to hang in there for another year.
