It's a special 4th of July episode! What's more American than relying on child labor to fix a failing healthcare system? That sounds grim, but we continue to enjoy our time with the girls of BSC. We return to our discussion of Claudia with a leisurely tour of what is possibly the saddest book in the Baby-sitters Club canon, Claudia and the Sad Goodbye. We stray a bit from the beaten path in this episode as we discuss neighborhood grandmas, a Funfetti catastrophe, Darlene crying at work, and whether the real cause of Mimi's surprising responses to blood transfusions might be caused by a vampire in Stoneybrook.
