In this episode, we meet more characters that we end up falling in love with, only to never see them again (you know, the infamous *Vortex of Special Guests* from the multiverse?).
But let's get down to the real issues: Why are the wigs so distractingly bad in this episode? Is Jenny indeed Mrs. Beadle’s long-lost daughter? Does Nellie’s intense, pantomimed sewing session make you...uneasy? And seriously, why does Ma scrubbing the bare floor make you *so* tired just watching it?
Plus, Pamela and Alison share their *uncomfortable* “groomer vibes” from one of the main characters, and we take a detour to *Frontier House* on PBS to remind ourselves that a solid stockpile of chopped wood is *essential* for prairie life!
Alison also spills the tea on the real-life inspiration for her character, Nellie Oleson, and uncovers some surprising connections to this episode, along with juicy behind-the-scenes gossip about Katherine MacGregor and Jonathan Gilbert!
In a moment of sheer brilliance, we even compare the *Little House* characters to Muppets—and yes, we’re calling out Miss Piggy specifically!
Lastly, Alison cracks the mystery of *why* Baby Carrie takes that tumble down the hill in the opening credits. You won’t want to miss it!
