Story of Pollyanna, Girl of Love

Lost Pollyanna (1x32)

Air date: Aug 17, 1986

Fortunately for Pollyanna, being panicked right onto her caboose does not inhibit a desperate bid of scaring away the hoodlums with several swings of her cane complete with a hasty retreat out of the alley; while Pollyanna flees to a safe location where she can compute her next move, Ruth and Della's frustration at the situation is further inflamed when Perkins's efforts come up negative -- the latter deciding for summoning the police in spite of that tactic's high probability of null utility especially if Pollyanna has been kidnapped. The most imminent danger Pollyanna faces is scraping against the ceiling of her travel range right in foreign urban territory without the navigational data to return home -- a deficiency that a kindly newspaper boy helps to resolve once he is finished proliferating the evening newspaper. The proximity of altogether abnegating her stewardship in disgust not at all minuscule, Ruth has quite a »Welcome home!!!« prepared for Pollyanna's gleeful obliviousness to the impact of her protracted absence or the danger that could have overwhelmed her: an astringent decree against any more solo adventures. Fortunately, Ruth is ultimately not callous to Pollyanna's anguished anxiety for Chipmunk's safety when she taps Sadie Dean who promptly explains Pollyanna a digest of Boston's urban social mechanics in a well-intentioned but clumsy effort to soften the blow; after five fruitless days of searching, Pollyanna catches a significant break: Chipmunk has become the stewardship of a wheelchair-bound boy that has the perspective of »finders keepers; losers weepers«!!!
