This week, Ma (and everyone else) is concerned that Pa’s side hustle has resulted in a sidechick with a lovely, young widow. It turns out that he’s just telling a bunch of (white) lies to get Carolyn a set of historically inaccurate dishes.

Julie is obsessed with murdering everyone this week and eating pickled foods, Marissa tells us about the FLOTUS china pattern exhibit at the Smithsonian (Reagan had some ugly ones) and gripes about historically inaccurate currency, and Amy gushes about her other favorite television shows Poldark and LOST.  4 8 15 16 23 42.
