Story of Pollyanna, Girl of Love

A Surprise for Mrs. Snow (1x12)

Air date: Mar 23, 1986

There is not a single philanthropist in the world that has not had demonstrated the principle of No good deed goes unpunished at least once . . . and Pollyanna is no exception as she races home in a bid to avoid the turbulent family government endemic with not complying her aunt's schedule only for Chipmunk to have a difficult time keeping up -- a deviant diagnostic considering how much faster the little rodent usually accelerates into a sprint. Upon completing her home commute, Pollyanna is surprised to learn that Polly is not home because she is in Boston attending a relative's funeral -- a euphoric opportunity to relax and goof off if one callously ignores the circumstances which brought it about -- before Nancy guides Pollyanna to her dinner. The next morning greets Jimmy receiving a lot of wooden planks from Tom and deciding to transport it by his own strength to his chosen locale in Pendleton Woods -- the latter making for rather cumbersome crass comedy when Pollyanna catalyzes the process along with beginning construction of the tree-house with Jimmy. Unfortunately for Jimmy, Pollyanna is not able to stay long before she has to stop over for lunch prior to prosecuting a visit to Mrs. Snow estimated to be a quick in-and-out operation that will have her home in time for her afternoon piano lessons without getting into hot water with her aunt. Pollyanna's collaborative curriculum with Nancy having successfully nullified Mrs. Snow's capriciousness along with Pollyanna explaining Mrs. Snow the prologue behind the Glad Game ultimately has one very serious flaw -- the early return of a very angry Polly; still, Polly's fiery glare of frustration she tries to compute who to eviscerate first for circumventing the established diurnal homeostasis in her absence is quite tame compared to the anguish of Pollyanna discovering that Chipmunk is nowhere to be found!!!
