Episode Summary |
| |
*** Ellen sells the farm to Paul and Ruth Martin after Gramps passes away. The Martins adopt Timmy. Jeff gives Lassie to Timmy when he and his mother leave the farm for a new life in Capitol City.
Screencap right: Jeff gives Lassie to Timmy and says good-bye. One of the greatest moments in the entire series.

Episode Notes |
| |
George Cleveland ("Gramps") died shortly before this episode went into production. The producers initially planned to have Gramps suffer a severe accident that would require his total retirement from the heavy work on the farm.
| Jeff will attend The Science High School and Ellen will give music lessons when the Millers move to Capitol City. Ellen's mother lives in Capitol City, ("The Lion" 01x08).
| Last appearance: Tommy Rettig as Jeff Miller.
| The producers didn't want to risk Jon's life when Timmy was required to run into the lake at the end of the episode. Stan Livingston (who later starred as Chip in My Three Sons) performed the stunt.
| In this episode, Paul says he flew 22 missions -- presumably in WWII. In another episode, we learn Paul was stationed in England.

| Ellen: I suppose we should be thankful that it happened the way that it did.
Ellen is speaking of Gramps' death but it is never stated how Gramps died.
