This made for tv movie really seemed thrown together. It was liked the script was written on the set while they were filming and even ad-libbed in spots. Anyway, long story short, a land developer arrived claiming the property Walnut grove was built on. He offered to allow the people to live there, but as employees of his company. The towns people did not like the terms, so they ultimately blew up about all the buildings there out of spite (yeah, kinda stupid). When the land owner showed up with the town leaders from neighboring communities, he got threats from them as well. If he was going to go to their communities, he can expect the same thing from them. The Reverend then said, you see, this wasn't done in vain. Then they all marched out of town
Just so everyone knows, Katherine MacGregor wasn't in the episode because she had just converted to Hinduism and was on a pilgrimage in India during the filming of this movie.
