Tara Ariano February 9, 2018 Share February 9, 2018 Quote When Nellie Oleson is seriously injured after falling from Bunny, a horse that used to belong to Laura, Nellie's mother blames Laura for the accident and orders the animal destroyed. But Laura secretly steals her still-beloved Bunny away from Mrs. Oleson's vengeance, and resigns herself to the penance of waiting hand and foot on a demanding, bedridden Nellie. Link to comment
Primetimer February 13, 2018 Share February 13, 2018 But if Nellie has to lie in bed all day to do it, so much the better. View the full article Link to comment
sistermagpie February 13, 2018 Share February 13, 2018 The ending of this ep really disturbed me when Nellie went so psycho--also because she ruined all that stuff. I was with Willy wanting to stop her! Also I can't ever really enjoy that wheelchair scene because although I get how it's supposed to play, I always worry that pushing somebody down a hill in a wheelchair could totally hurt them. Like, what if Nellie was actually paralyzed this time??! Link to comment
Kerfuffler February 22, 2018 Share February 22, 2018 No offense to Laura, but is she really the one you'd want doing your homework for you? Especially since Nellie was always supposed to be doing work at Mary's level, not Laura's? 1 Link to comment

CraftyHazel July 24, 2018 Share July 24, 2018 Everyone is awful in this episode! Nellie abuses a horse, fakes injury, blackmails Laura, and guilt trips her mother into buying her half of the worldly goods in Hero Township. Mrs. Oleson screeches at Laura, blames her for a pure accident, and orders Nels to kill an abused animal. Laura is a horse thief (they used to hang a man for that), and then, when she discovers Nellue’s deception, she pushes her wheelchair down a hill, risking Nellie’s life in a very real and deliberate way. And then Nels, on whom I can usually depend to have some sense, tells Laura she’s “quite a girl” and rewards her for nearly killing Nellie and stealing Bunny by giving her Bunny. Ugh. 1 4 Link to comment

I'll give you everything but Nels. Yes, he was rewarding bad behavior. But, at the same time he was doing what was best for Bunny. Harriet would sell her to a glue factory. Nellie would abuse her. I just hope when she got home, Charles punished her. 1 Link to comment
