YMMV / Little House On The Prairie S 8 E 1 The Reincarnation Of Nellie

• Alternative Character Interpretation: In the final scene, when Nancy says she loves Harriet, was she being genuine or was she just trying to get back in her mother's good graces? Or was she admitting, deep down that her love for her adoptive mother was genuine while at the same time trying to get in her good graces too?
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Nancy is shown to be a dreadful singer. In real life, Alison Balsom grew to become a folk singer.
• Moral Event Horizon: Nancy pulls many nasty tricks, but the one where she crosses the line is when she tricks Belinda into being locked up in the ice house, specifically to make her sick and shows no worry about getting her seriously ill or even dying. Worse, her actions in later episodes would never have that same level of sociopathic behaviour, so this was a standout, even for Nancy.
• Values Dissonance: Today, Nancy's scheme to lock Belinda in the icehouse would have resulted in her arrest on severe charges and likely resulted in a long sentence in juvenile hall.
• What the Hell, Set Department: The blacksmith shop still shows the name of Irv Hartwig, despite this episode being set several months after his death (meaning there should be a new blacksmith by now), when it was revealed that he was a rapist, so nobody should be comfortable with his name hanging in plain sight.
