Alice was having so much fun. Plus the look on Nellie's face when that jacket came off. I don't think i've smiled as big or giggled as hard at any other moment in the series. And way to go Albert!
Charles is right, there are a lot more important things in this world than being popular. And being true to yourself is one of them. I never thought of it that way before. Being popular might sound fun at first until you think you can't take it anymore when people might expect too much from you.
HAHAHA I loved the ending and I love Alice. It's so sad she died in that horrible fire...I was 11 when I first saw it, and am almost 40 now, but I cant forget it!!! Can't help thinking about it whenever I see her...
The end is hilarious. Hahaha Nellie is caught and her jacket is taken. I like harriets réaction rofl. " Nellie youre not as bright as that.'You deserved a good lesson.
She did pass the last test afterwards. But she didn't get to cheat on that one. Since she passed the last test, Ms. Garvey let her be promoted. Although she got humiliated in front of the class.
absolutely right. that's why I love LHOP and Michael Landing. it teaches people good traditional values that a lot of parents these days don't teach. popularity is phony. in reality, nobody's perfect. we all should help each other be better human beings the honest way.
Even though Nellie did deserve it, I kind of feel bad for her. You would've thinked that she would've learned something from all that cheating. Alison Arngrim mentions that Catherine MacGregor really did hit her hard with the jacket in the ending. The buttons were hard when Catherine hit Alison. So the screaming and running away was actaully real.
@sjssrox Exactly! It's like she always has to act mature when she should act her own age and play. She shouldn't have to worry about problems like this and she should mind her own buisness. Be a kid Laura and go play! lol. That's true, I think she got it from her family. It's ok, but to a point. Like this ep.
i heard at the end when Harriet is hitting her with the sweater and she is running and screaming that was true because there were buttons on it that were hurting her so that wasn't all acting it was real!
John Garby was to nice of a man, I find it hard to believe he beat Andy. In fact I bet Andy didn't even get a whipping in that barn. Poor Nellie, Michael Landon was sure hard on her when he wrote the scripts for the character. Imagine that, eveybody who cheated and lied in this episode gets no punishment but Nellie, she gets spanked on the street and in front of her classmates and rival enemies. Not fairl ML! :D
@boogie1971 Because there was no proof that Nellie had cheated ALL the way through. As far as Alice was concerned, Nellie had been cheating recently on those tests, and possibly had to do make up assignments. Nellie was never stupid, but she may had gotten lazy.
Some of you say Laura should have minded her own business, but really she was just being a friend. Andy finally couldn't take it anymore, and confided in her, he even seemed like he was glad someone had caught him. Laura knew Andy, and knew he wouldn't do something like that as far as cheating and it had to make him feel rotten, and it did. Nellie gets away with too much shit at the expense of others, I didn't blame her for telling Alice, and even Alice learned something from all of this too.
@Disneyfan82 i blame high school for that. well and middle, popularity seemed like the most important thing in the world, luckily when we exit those institutions we find out being head cheerleader isn't going to mean crap when you're looking for a high paying job or trying to get decent grades in college. the world is so much bigger then we realized. at least for me.
heck if i were mrs garvey i would have said unfortunately since nellie has been cheating all along i don't know for sure that she is ready to be promoted, we will have to retest her on everything and determine it that way. ha make it sting a little more, she deserved it blackmailing andy like that.
@crybabygirl08 yea dont u think she always has this look like she feels she's older and all full of drama in her head, when actually at her age, kids should just let things go and play! lol i think she gets the whole lil miss goodie goodie from her family the ingalls are sooooo perfect~lol
