And were back at Camp Moosehead.
What damage hath the Baby-Sitters Club (lovingly) wrought?
If you recall, the last episode ended with Kristy shrieking over Staceys face.
As if she hasnt suffered enough at the hands of friends, you know?
This time, however, its warranted.
Remember that little tussle she had in the woods with ex-bestie from NYC Laine?
Yeah, they were apparently rolling around in poison ivy the entire time.
Now her face is covered in a rash so bad that her eye is swollen shut.
Shes supposed to be the lead in Mary Annes play that evening and that just isnt possible anymore.
Everyone is devastated, but also in agreement that, yikes, her face looks awful.
Thats never a sentence you want to hear from the camp nurse.
Since Stacey has been ignoring Laine, this gives Laine the opportunity to hash out their issues.
After a littleDays of our Lives viewing session to ease the tension, Laine makes her big apology.
Now Stacey has that with the BSC girls and shes able to make amends with Laine.
On to the next: Lets talk about the Dawn and Claudia protest situation.
Claudia is still a political prisoner, by which Dawn means, shes still being remanded to her cabin.
), Dawn knows she needs to kick it up a notch.
Shes joined by a lot of campers including Claudia, who Dawn busts out of her cabin!
Poor Mary Anne thinks the real problem is her.
She leads her own way and people respond to that.
Logan Bruno loves Mary Anne Spier so much.
I can barely stand it!
Then the campers go on strike.
Its a very mature conversation for these girls to have.
Theyre growing up so fast!
So anyway, Mary Anne comes around to Dawns protest and all the girls are there waiting for Meany.
She calls Dawn and Claudia to her office shes going to be sending them home.
The other girls follow in solidarity.
If one of them is going home, all of them are.
and Mary Anne is like aw, hell no!
and plants one right on his stunned face.
What a perfect character arc shes had this season.
Still, she cant just do everything for free.
This is a business!
Oh no, not this one, Meany mumbles under her breath.
Oh yes,this one.
See, while all of these shenanigans have been going on, Kristy has been on an adventure.
Karen took off on her own.
But after she realized that was all made up, she took off for the bus stop.
Karen wanted to go home.
Kristy, who asks Mallory and Jessi to help her find her sister, comes upon the heartbroken 7-year-old.
Karen thought breaking the curse would help her make friends.
Everyone thinks shes weird.
She heard David Michael say she was only his step-sister.
Our confident drama queen is having a tough time, friends.
Luckily, she is surrounded by three other confident young women who know exactly what to say.
No one takes Karen Brewers place on stage!
The whole thing is very heart-warming and it brings Kristys story about processing her changing family very full circle.
But it also serves another purpose Kristy Thomas is nothing if not resourceful, we know this.
She tells Meany that her counselors were so distracted, they didnt even notice Karen was missing.
Basically: Let the BSC become counselors-in-training, would ya?
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes, they say.
Im paraphrasing but you understand the importance of the situation.
The Baby-Sitters Club, stronger than ever, is an unstoppable force no matter where they are.
Okay now its truly the best summerever.
Meeting Minutes
A witchy but glamorous decoy obviously Karens work.
Arent you relieved that Jessi and Mallory have finally joined the BSC?
Its been an honor and a privilege to go on this BSC adventure with you all.
Until the next meeting, sitters.
