In this episode of the docuseries, Pa has a grand plan to make Ma stop being such a wet dishrag and have some fun by going to the Cancun of MN... Mankato! Ma and Pa eat a fancy meal, see a suspect play, and just have a terrible time because Ma cannot forget she has children 82 miles away. Meanwhile, the gals back home have the time of their lives with Mr. Edwards, eat rattlesnake soup and learn a valuable lesson about locking up firearms.

Trigger warning: this episode contains some cultural stereotypes that some may find offensive, but this was 1974. We apologize on behalf of Mr. Edwards. Now that he knows better, he does better.

SPECIAL BONUS CONTENT: listen after the close of the show for special bonus content amongst all 3 sisters.

In this episode two old ladies with very Millennial names die, or kind of die, with the help of Ma and Pa and the Ingalls family. Irish accents come and go, kids peel eggs in a grotesque way and Sarah and Emily get triggered by the use of an autoharp in the episode. But more importantly, make sure you listen all the to the end, starting at the 37:00 minute mark. You can hear ghostly whistling that Sarah's mic captured.

Backstory on the whistling: (Sarah's account) When Em and I were recording last week I heard my husband Jeff whistling in the kitchen while we were actively recording. I was so irritated because I thought he was trying to be funny while we were recording and I was going to tell him off the minute we stopped because it was so distracting. When we were done, I marched into the kitchen to find he wasn't home. I checked my "find my friends" app on my phone and saw he was about 7 miles away at a friend's house helping to unload BBQ equipment and was not home. It was just me and the cats. Take a listen, what do you hear?

This episode is a big YIKES as Laura gets groomed by an older boy, (well actually, she grooms herself.) There are some problematic themes in this episode but Sarah and Emily work through them. They also discuss Emily's youngest child who frightens them both the most.
