The sisters are back with season 2! We made it through the first season and are moving on to season 2 with a classic episode that features the Ingalls family employing child labor in order to pay off Pa's debts. A construction company in Mankato goes belly up and Pa is unable to pay off his credit at the Mercantile, Harriet is a real b-word about it but eventually the whole family comes together to save the day.

Sarah and Emily also talk about how they are reaching the farthest corners of the world and have a listener in Edinburgh, Scotland!

The Squid Games come to Walnut Grove for this last episode of the season! Sarah and Emily reminisce over town days and school fairs and Emily comes up with a great idea called "Mother Carnies," (if you'd like to be one please contact her.) Walnut Grove has their very first town celebration and Pa is up against an elderly gent who trash talks him the entire episode and challenges him to a chopping contest. Will Pa take the high road? Also, we learn what hoop balling is, talk about cheese curds and the time my young niece was given a pocket knife at the Blue Earth County Fair.

An old friend shows up and is about as exciting and welcome as a case of Montezuma's Revenge... good ol' Johnny Johnson! Johnny decided he's going to see the world, but first stop, Mankato! He falls in love with a lady of the evening and Mr. Edwards takes it upon himself to teach the lad a lesson. Not much from the Ingalls girls this episode, so they must have been on Spring Break. But, there's a lot of Mr. Edwards so don't worry!

Join Sarah and Emily and special guest star Annie as they discuss this episode where the Ingalls get "woke!" Ma, Pa and the girls are stranded near Mount Kato during a Spring snowstorm. With nothing to eat but old cornmeal and horses, they are on the brink of starvation when a mysterious stranger comes to save them, despite the fact that he is being hunted himself!

CW: this episode uses outdated language and racial themes and we tried our very hardest to not sound like total priveleged jerks while talking about this. There is talk about the US-Dakota War of 1862 and the Dakota 38+2. We urge you to learn more about these themes below:

The Dakota 38+2 Memorial Ride is now the Reconciliation Ride and you can find more info here: https://reconciliationride.com/

NOTE: Emily and Sarah did NOT do the episode we were supposed to this week and are choosing to skip it. That episode is called Child of Pain and deals with child abuse. If you want to watch it this week, go ahead, BUT DON'T TELL THEM ABOUT IT! There's only so much they can handle right now.

A new scammer and schemer comes into Walnut Grove... or is he? This episode Sarah and Emily go down a lot of rabbit holes and discuss befriending crows, colonoscopies and wanting to just take a powder that will make you sleep for a good 8-10 hours straight. They also discuss how the residents of Walnut Grove would eb ripe for the pickin' to join any old MLM or pyramid scheme to come down the pike and they are jsut lucky this time it's corn seeds and not buttery soft leggings from LuLaRoe.

So much grooming! More grooming happens on the Prairie as the worst circus ever comes into town. Pa is too trusting and falls for the tricks of a leprechaun who tells people not only is his sad wagon an actual circus, but he can heal people with a secret powder!

Emily remembers a pet store from her childhood that had a monkey in a diaper, but we have no evidence it existed outside her brain. We also discuss an alternate ending for this episode which doesn't involve Jack and a tabby cat.

This week we revisit one of Emily's favorite episodes; The Plague! The town of Walnut Grove is besieged by rats and bad cornmeal and suddenly everyone gets sick! But how did this happen? It most certainly could not be from the super cheap sacks of cornmeal with an unknown provenance! The very sacks of cornmeal crawling with rats!

We discuss how gifts with purchases would be better if they included your choice of rats, how Emily's middle son figured out their neighborhood's pizza night schedule and how Mike Landon must have had a "body carry" count for every episode.

In this episode a grifter comes to town in the form of a sexy lady that looks a lot like Harriet. Hiram Baker falls in love and has a whirlwind romance. Emily declares she has HAD IT with predators and also divulges the name she gave her kitten (spolier alert: it's stupid and doesn't make any sense.) Michael ("Mike") Landon was clearly off this week for filming and all eyes are on Doc Baker. Pa still manages to get a heroic rescue into the fist five minutes though!
