Introducing Miss Amy Hearn. First of her name. Manipulator of doctors, farmers, and priests. Wearer of veils. Maker of paper chains. Long-winded. | NBC
We’re back this week with the weirdest episode of Little House on the Prairie yet.  (We're on to you, Victor French.) We are introduced elderly neighbor lady Miss Amy Hearn who is notable because 1. she's the token Catholic of Walnut Grove and 2. the most long-winded lady this side of the Mississip'.

After literally talking her roommate and dear friend Miss Maddie to death, Miss Amy concocts a wild plan to fake her own death so she can see her children, whom she hasn’t seen for a while, at her funeral. She somehow manages to manipulate Doc Baker and the Ingalls family into going along with her crazy shenanigans and hilarity/just plain weirdness ensues. We're not sure what happens during the rest of the episode because we fell asleep while Miss Amy was on one of her long winded rants.
​
Join us as Marissa attempts to teach Amy and Julie about Catholicism, Julie unloads a TON of juicy details about the cast on the set of Little House, and then we all discuss how we want our remains disposed of after death. (It's less macabre than it sounds.)

Correction: Marissa meant to say construction paper wasn't invented until the 1900's... not the 19th century.

Waste Time with These Links:

  • Tree Pod Burials
  • Camelot (1967)
  • "Chalky Undertaste" scene from Rosemary's Baby
  • ​The hierarchy of leadership in the Catholic church contained in infographic form 
  • "How the Civil War became the Indian Wars" article (Andy was probably not such a woke bae afterall if he fought in the Indian Wars. He still has a sweet mustache so we'll give him that much.)
  • Some other non-mainstream alternatives to burials
  • Don't have someone scatter your ashes in Walt Disney World
  • ​Lyrics to "Go Tell Aunt Rhody" (A variation of this song was used for Resident Evil 7​. That's how creepy this song is.)

Cryabilty for this Episode

Explanation: Jeff is Amy and Julie's brother who was a VERY sensitive/compassionate child. He became emotional (and in some cases, inconsolable) while watching many Little House episodes... thus, this scale.
Key: 0= We didn't even tear up. Jeff= We blubbered like fools.
