"The Plauge" recap!

It’s a gloomy day across both New York and California, and it’s the perfect atmosphere to dive into today’s recap of The Plague. A defining episode from Season 1, this chilling installment has haunted both children and adults alike since its debut. The eerie similarities to our own experiences during the Covid pandemic and lockdown are striking...and unsettling. Major kudos to the GOAT, Doc Baker, (the late, great, Kevin Hagen) who steals the show with his performance, solidifying his apparent “Hot Doc” status among fans.Alison breaks down the real-world facts behind Typhus, the tooth fairy, and the birth of antibiotics. We also get a heartwarming behind-the-scenes moment as we explore Leslie Landon’s debut on Little House and her moving experience filming with her dad. And in a Little House first, we see the premiere of an ice bath in action! Plus, we uncover the mystery behind the wild wind in Walnut Grove, whether rats have their own handlers, and the real purpose of sulfur. And...who knew Mr. Hanson is a flour miller? Finally, Pamela highlights the unsettling emotional impact of those cheerful closing credits after such an intense episode
