In part one of this two-parter episode (get ready ya'll), Tara and EmKay question the first few sentences of Dorothy and friends looking up at the wall surrounding the Dainty China Country. After recalling childhood memories of delicately handling dolls made of china and admiring miniature models, Tara guides us through comparing the wall of the Dainty China Country to the U.S./Mexico border wall constructed during the current administration, leading to more questions than answers. Stay tuned for part two dropping on Friday.
