This week, we’re back in full chaos mode with “The Race". Previously on Little House: Laura loses her beloved horse Bunny thanks to Nellie Oleson’s Oscar Award-level brat behavior, and the entire town collectively decides, “Yeah… that kid needs consequences.” Spoiler: She does not really get them.

We pick up right where the emotional damage left off. Laura is still being taunted by Nellie (the audacity!) and is understandably ready to go full prairie vengeance. 

Enter: THE RACE.

What begins as a simple competition quickly becomes Walnut Grove’s version of Fast & Furious: Horse Girl Drift...with a silver cup as the prize!

Once again, it’s Laura Ingalls vs. Nellie Oleson, a rivalry now operating at historic levels. And just to make sure Nellie has every possible advantage, enter Harriet Oleson, who does what she does best: throws money at the problem and buys Nellie a brand new horse. Because clearly the lesson here is more horse, less accountability.

Meanwhile, Laura is out here with Bunny—icon, legend, moral compass—relying on grit and determination to fuel her training montage.

What follows is a race that is equal parts thrilling and deeply stressful, because nothing about this feels safe, supervised, or emotionally regulated. Meanwhile, Bunny continues to be the real star of the show. (Still no clarity, by the way: boy? girl? We demand answers.)

We break down the buildup, the blatant favoritism, and the absolute audacity of buying your way into victory. And of course, we get all the behind the scenes tea from Nellie (Alison) herself!

Then, join us on Patreon where Muppets once again are part of the conversation, and more delicious behind the scenes stories about Little House, production, and if we're able to watch ourselves on screen after we've finished filming. (Spoiler alert, some of us are not).
