Have you ever wondered how the Olesons and Ingalls families would behave with each other if they were stuck in the wilderness together with a murderous dog? Join us this week and find out! Hint: It’s as crazy as it sounds.

Amy, Julie, and Marissa discuss out past camping adventures (none of them are positive.) Marissa links this episode to an episode of Bob’s Burgers which is suspiciously similar, Julie airs out some past grievances about her social struggles growing up, and Amy announces her idea for a low-fi Little House video game. (We are collecting resumes from all interested game developers.)

We’re back with the bittersweet conclusion to “Remember Me” where Pa struggles to find a home for all three Sanderson children, Laura struggles to find a home for the third puppy, and Mr. Edwards struggles to find the courage to open his heart to love again. Viewers are also delightfully treated with an introduction to another of Harriet’s wealthy and impeccably dressed family members, Miss Minerva Farnsworth.

In addition, Marissa poses an ethical quandary to Amy, and Julie asks an interesting question to our male listener (listeners?) about facial hair.

This scene is easily a 10 on the Jeff Scale because of some top-notch acting by Patricia Neal and Michael Landon. | NBC
This week we meet Julia Sanderson, widowed mother of three, who learns she hasn’t much time left in life. With admirable courage and a smoky-smooth voice, she makes preparations for her children with Charles Ingalls help. Mary and Laura also rescue three puppies that look suspiciously like Jack.

In the first several minutes of this episode, we learn the Jeff Scale origin story as well as meet who is arguably one of the worst residents of Walnut Grove. Amy and Marissa discuss whom they would leave their children with in the event of their death. (Hint: Julie might end up with a lot of children.) We also learn a lot about the early developments of cancer treatment and discuss how rainy funeral scenes are extremely cliché.

(Trigger Warning: This episode deals with losing a parent to a terminal illness.)

Special Thanks to our nurse researcher Courtney Schuman for answering our questions.

Nellie's nastiness has escalated this season. And Laura's beatdowns have as well. | NBC
Welcome to Season 2! This week, Hansen’s Mill is forced to close due to some unforeseen circumstances leaving the Ingalls family in debt to the Mercantile and on Harriet’s bad side. The whole family manages to rally together to earn enough money while keeping the family farm up and running so that they can clear their debt and purchase caffeine and sugar until the mill reopens.

In addition, we talk about various lighthearted subjects like murdering spouses, poverty, what we ate when we were broke, and the kindness of strangers/friends/co-workers during our lean times.
