There are lots of "Facts" episodes where we can make different plots from the episode titles. For instance:
-

"Rough Housing"
------------------
Mrs. Garrett arrives at Eastland School for Girls to help build a new dorm. But with Tootie gossiping, Natalie joking, Molly singing, Cindy flipping, Nancy phoning, Sue Ann whittling, Blair mirroring, and Chestnut chewing on the tools, it's a "rough" job building this new "housing"!


"Molly's Holly Day"*
---------------------
Molly decides Arbor Day is too general. She thinks every tree should get its own holiday! One night she takes over the track field by transplanting hundreds of holly trees and planting them there. For Holly Day she makes wreaths of holly for her friends to wear as vegetative crowns on their heads, and she composes 50 new folk songs all about holly that she croons and warbles to her friends and Mrs. Garrett on her out-of-tune guitar. Oh, what a jolly Holly Day!

*(taking liberty with poetic license on almost the same title)


The Sound of Silence
-----------------------
24 minutes of the empty Eastland cafeteria.

LOL

Haha! Those are great, '80s!

Oo, good ones, Retro!

"Best Sister"
---------------
When Jo's dad and Blair's mom get married, Blair and Jo realize they're now suddenly siblings. Can these girls put aside their differences long enough to become sisters?

FINALLY, a "Best Sister" I don't have to skip! Thanks! :lol:

Oh, and the most poignant part of "Molly's Holly Day"? After the holly trees decide they're unhappy in the track field, and they uproot themselves and go back to the woods outside of town.

"Hollieeeees can't be trusteeeeeed,
My heart feels like it's busteeeeeed,
Boy, am I disgusteeeeeed,
I got a right to sing the bluuuuuuues" :guitar:

"The Return of Mr. Garrett"
---------------------------------

It's a snowy, blustery day at the snowed-in Eastland School for Girls, and the electricity and heat are both on the fritz. Everyone camps out downstairs surrounded by candles for a glowing snowstorm-watching slumber party by the fireplace. After bringing in hot cocoa for all her girls, Mrs. Garrett in her robe takes a seat in the plush chair by the fire and regales her girls with the grand tale of the time her ex-husband purchased a shirt he decided he didn't like----so he returned it.

"Overachieving"
-------------------

Spurred on by Blair's barbs at how people from Kansas City must not amount to much, Sue Ann gets fired up to prove she can be the best of the best. She cuts all ties to social activities at Eastland and focuses entirely on her academics, drowning herself in studying and tests and grades. Her friends in the dorm and Mrs. Garrett and Miss Mahoney all worry about her, while Mr. Bradley thinks she's setting a good example for the reputation of Eastland and its academics. It's up to Garrett, Mahoney, and the girls snap Sue Ann out of it and remind her that a balanced life at school is the best life at school.

:lol: I bet you would, buddy!

Spurred on by Blair's barbs at how people from Kansas City must not amount to much,

"Please! The most notable person in Kansas City was probably the farmer who decided to bush hog the grass around Miller's Pond!"

Cindy: "Blair, I'm surprised you even know what 'bush hogging' is."

Blair: "Only because of Miss Boonies living here, Cindy."

---------------------------

On the first day of school, new student Jo parts her hair on the left.


"The New Girl: Part 2"
---------------------------

The next day, Jo parts her hair on the right.

I'm going to give this a try.

But now, completely forget what the episode was about, and then do a summary just based on what it sounds like, from the episode title alone.

Thanks! I gave it my best effort.

"Emily Dickinson"
----------------------

A new student arrives at Eastland, and her name is Emily Dickinson. Blair razzes the shy, sensitive newcomer for having the same name as the old-fashioned, out-of-date, hopelessly fashioned-flawed poet, until she finds out what Emily has been working to hide --- she can't read. Ashamed for the way she's treated her, Blair takes it upon herself to spend time with Emily and teach her how to read in private sessions up in Blair's room, so no one will be the wiser. Mrs. Garrett finds out what's going on and tells Blair how proud she is of her, saying she has the true Eastland spirit.

Nice! I'd watch that!

Here are some I thought of:

"A Friend in Deed"
-----------------------
The girls' former roommate, Nancy Olson, needs their help: the deed to her parents' house is in jeopardy, and if the Olsons don't pay up, they'll lose everything. Can Blair, Tootie, Natalie, and Jo raise enough money in 48 hours to save Nancy's house?


"Let's Party"
------------------------
The girls are invited to Dorm B to hang out with their former roommates, Cindy and Sue Ann. But their old friends have become a bit rebellious since leaving Mrs. Garrett's care, and all the girls learn a frightening lesson about drinking and driving instead.


"The Secret"
----------------
Mrs. Garrett is off to New York to pick up some gourmet ingredients. While she's gone, Blair, Tootie, Natalie, and Jo creep down the basement stairs to discover Mrs. Garrett's horrifying secret: Molly Parker's been trapped down there for years! No wonder they never saw her on campus! Can the girls cut through the chains and rescue poor Molly and her guitar before Mrs. Garrett returns?

Nice! I'd watch that!

"The Facts of Life" goes into "underground goth literature" territory, lol---hopefully Molly and her guitar are both well-enough in tune!

"I.Q."
--------

The cook cooks up some alphabet soup for lunch. Sue Ann is pleased as punch when she shows off her spelling skills to her friends: "Look, girls! I spelled a word! See?? 'I.Q.'! College scholarship, here I come! :cheer:"

:brent


"Who Am I?"
----------------

HAHAHAHA!!!! :lol:

Brian and Sylvia
Natalie is depressed after reading the works of Sylvia Plath. But she starts to perk up after Mrs. Garrett introduces her to the music of Brian Wilson, from The Beach Boys.

Ooh this is fun. Kind of like short form fan fiction. I got a good one.

Take My Finals, Please

Natalie does some investigative journalism and finds out that Blair Warner did not get in to Eastland on her own merit. She finds out that her family bribed an admissions consultant so that she could be admitted into Eastland with fraudulent admission scores. To sweeten the deal, attached to her application are even fake photos of her competing against Sue Ann and Cindy on a competitive track team. In another, Blair is shown winning a trophy against the two. Natalie tells Tootie and naturally, she gets nosy. She finds Blair in a library and overhears that a test “proctor” has been helping feed Blair answers for all of her college tests and exams. Not only that, but we find out that the Eastland library, which Blair’s family helped fund, was actually hush money to keep the cheating covered up. Tootie tattles to Jo and Mrs. Garrett about it. Jo isn’t too surprised but angered by the news. Mrs. Garrett is dumbfounded. Jo campaigns for Blair to get expelled while Mrs. Garrett tries to seek the truth and questions Blair and Mr. Bradley about it. Will Blair stay at Eastland, get expelled, or was this all a cruel April Fool’s Joke that Blair played on the girls and Mrs. Garrett to mess with them?

Special guest star: Lori Laughlin

"Like Mother, Like Daughter"
-----------------------------------

"Grand Opening"
-------------------
Mrs. Garrett and the girls find that the grand re-opening of Edna's Edibles is indeed grand, and they make a ton of money selling delicious gourmet food over the first week. Mr. Parker, Cindy, Molly, Nancy, Sue Ann, and Geri even stop by to visit! Everyone is very relieved they didn't listen to Natalie and Tootie's crazy idea for a Spencer's knock-off store, which they all realize wouldn't have lasted three seasons.

^---bwahaha! :lol: And what a fabulous season opener!!

^---bwahaha! :lol: And what a fabulous season opener!!

Why thank you!

...I actually didn't see it as the season opener; I figured Edna's Edibles could still burn down as it did at the beginning of Season 7, and then they could rebuild it... under the condition that Edna has to stay in Peekskill for three more years, of course! :lol:

^---Oops! Just with a name like "Grand Opening", and yet another retooling of the show, I'd thought it was the season 7 opener, lol. :o

"Shoplifting"
----------------

A rival girls' school athletic team on steroids visits Peekskill to play against Eastland, and to intimidate the town, they use their arms to lift Harrison's Department Store up off the ground.

John Lawlor: Bradley.

Only if the Lost Girls had lines like:

"Gee, Mrs. Garrett! Back in Kansas City, Kansas, we never had pencils that broke so easily!"

"Roger and I have a date tonight. Maybe we can bring you back some decent pencils afterwards, Mrs. Garrett."

"The pencil industry is clearly cheating us with these lousy number twos. What an appropriate name! We need to boycott them!"

"Ya know, I was happy with ball points and fountain pens. Mrs. Garrett's the one who got me into using pencils. Now what do we do?"

"The Secret"
---------------

Mr. Palmer screens the inspirational film "The Secret" in (where else??) the cafeteria for the Eastland students, and Mrs. Garrett, Jo, Nancy, Blair, Sue Ann, Cindy, Molly, Natalie, and Tootie are inspired to achieve their greatest potential!

Haha! Nice!

I like that you included Molly, even though she was no longer appearing on the show by then.

Haha! Nice!

Thanks, lol.

"Double Standard"
----------------------

Blair wins Harvest Queen for a 4th year in a row, and demands double standards (medieval banners) on both sides of her throne instead of just one on each side.

Haha! That's a good one!

Bought and Sold
----------------------

Molly is tired of living where 8 girls are all cramped together in one little room over the kitchen. So, she develops a new hobby to raise cash to move---flipping houses!

Pretty Babies
-----------------

Miss Mahoney's "8 rabbits in trouble" finally give birth after more than 18 months in pregnancy, and she brings them all to the cafeteria for Mrs. Garrett and the girls to admire.

Yeah Molly likely still went to Eastland through graduation, just not on camera.

Molly pretty much cut herself off from contact from all the other girls. In the Little Chill she refused to take their calls and had her mother tell them that she was "busy".

Eh that doesn’t mean she cut contact, just she wasn’t available for the mini reunion.

You would think Molly would tell her cast mates that herself rather than have her mother do it.

Eh that doesn’t mean she cut contact, just she wasn’t available for the mini reunion.

Exactly, Molly Parker still cherished her Eastland friends. She wasn't at home because she was busy (out of town doing feminist movement events or environmental rallies). That's why Mrs. Parker was who Tootie talked to.

Bjorn Borg is Swedish. And you've heard the name before if you've watched The Facts of Life episodes "Emily Dickinson" (where Cindy's trying to rhyme something with Bjorn Borg in her poem about tennis), or "Royal Pain" (where Alexandra name-drops him).

The ABBA Bjorn is Bjorn Ulvaeus.

The Four Musketeers

Special "To Be Continued" Two-Parter

A nor'easter is headed for Peekskill, and Nancy and Molly go with Mr. Bradley to stock up on supplies in town. While they're away, the winter storm hits sooner than expected, trapping Mrs. Garrett and the other six girls in the cafeteria building along with a stranded Miss Mahoney.

During the long delay it takes in Mr. Bradley, Nancy, and Molly trying to make it back to Eastland, Mrs. Garrett finds that the only food left in the kitchen is a foursome of Three Musketeers candy bars. Mrs. Garrett takes the four Musketeers and gives one each to friend pairings of Jo and Blair, and Sue Ann and Cindy, and Natalie and Tootie, reserving the last for herself and Miss Mahoney.

While the six girls and the two women separate to divide the four Musketeers bars in half and share half a bar each, they bond in that personal way that people do in such trying circumstances. Mrs. Garrett and Miss Mahoney stay in the kitchen, talking about their lives and where their paths got them to this point in their own careers at Eastland. Feeling warmth over their bonding as professional women and their appreciating the other's different background, Mrs. Garrett then gets a call from Mr. Bradley that he, Nancy, and Molly have gotten stuck out in the storm and the help sent to rescue them hasn't been able to get through. She hangs up with grave concern and tells Miss Mahoney of the trio's dire circumstances. Miss Mahoney says if they can't make it back, despite them having shelter and warmth, the girls and themselves will be in just as dire need as there is no more food left to eat.

PART 2

The six girls gather in the cafeteria reminiscing about their friendships at Eastland over the years, and then they split up in pairs to talk and eat their rations: Jo and Blair retreating to their room, Natalie and Tootie staying in the cafeteria, and Sue Ann and Cindy going into the lounge on the couch. Once alone in pairs, the girls then split their Musketeers and enjoy their half with their best friend (or "best frienemy" in Jo and Blair's case) while talking about their good and bad times as dynamic duos, seeing how deep and meaningful their best friendships have become to them (many classic clips flashed back in these scenes).

Eventually, just as Mrs. Garrett and Miss Mahoney are fraught and discussing how best to break it to the girls that there is no more food for any of them and no safe way out of the building, Mr. Bradley, Nancy, and Molly make it safely back to Eastland with enough supplies and food to last until the snow can be cleared. Mr. Bradley says it feels so odd to have only 11 people at the entire school, whereupon Mrs. Garrett says at least their gang is together again, as audience applause erupts while all help out with putting away the supplies and food amidst smiles and laughter and affectionate teases/hugs as the first end credits flash on the screen.

Cousin Geri visits Eastland again to perform a benefit in the cafeteria to boost the school's finances. She sets a record as the biggest attended event in the history of Peekskill, New York, and when Mrs. Garrett and her eight girls diligently count the returns from her ticket sales, they can't believe how much money was raised. They all toss the money in the air and dance around in celebration of Mrs. Garrett's joyous scream that she is going to get a new bun warmer.

I like that story: VALKY idolizing BLAIR kind of reminds me MIKO idolizing JO lol!

Things could turn very interesting....

valentina, are you familiar with the 1980s American sitcom "Perfect Strangers"? I "borrowed" elements from that show for this episode. :wave:

Suck a haystack! :lol:

Vintage season 1 insult--I like continuity. :lol:

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

Sue Ann's parents from Kansas City, Kansas visit Eastland on the same track weekend that Molly's parents visit for the Peekskill Activist Guitar Festival. It proves an awkward dinner when Sue Ann's conservative bible belt parents find themselves having dinner with divorced New Yorkers who are living in sin with their lovers out of wedlock.

Sounds like there will be some serious conflict! Will there be a "pie bit"? :lol:

Who's On First?

It's time for the annual Eastland talent show! But just before starting time, Miss Downs finds that Alex got all the introduction cards for the acts all mixed up. Who's on first? Is it Molly singing "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy" while playing her guitar, accompanied by Nancy on piano? Is it Cindy doing a gymnastics flip routine? Is it Natalie and her stand-up comedy act? Is it Tootie and her TV impressions? Is it Blair painting Sue Ann while Sue Ann runs around in circles? Is it Jo demonstrating how to drain a crank case?

Miss Downs is so flustered! Who's on first?!?

Whoa, you put Alex in it? But I thought you hated her? Or maybe it's Alex, as in Mrs. Garrett's son. Either one is kind of a screw-up, so I guess either one would work for mixing up the index cards.

Wouldn't Blair be painting Sue Ann? Does Blair even sketch?

Jo draining a crank case for a talent show sounds hilarious! I'm tuning in! popcorn:

Oh no, Alex the student. I like Alex the son!

I wouldn't say I "hate" Alex(andra). I dislike her, but I don't hate her. And even anti-Alex me admits that she provides the set-up for a good joke in "Graduation". So I can get myself to utilize her for a specific plot point, such as messing up Miss Downs' index cards.

It says paint, not sketch. ;)

(after I fixed it :lol:)

I don't even know what that is! :lol: I just remember her telling Mr. Parker, "You have no idea how many girls don't know how to drain a crank case."

Blair: [sarcastic] "No girl should be in the dark about that!"

Oh no, Alex the student. I like Alex the son!

I wouldn't say I "hate" Alex(andra). I dislike her, but I don't hate her.

I know, I know: "I never said I hated her." (You know who said that!) :lol:

So it's agreed: in your alternate "Facts" universe, Alexandra mixes up the index cards! :)

Sounds like you and I both need to watch Jo's part of the talent show! I'll bring some motor oil, you bring the popcorn! :lol:

I know, I know: "I never said I hated her." (You know who said that!) :lol:

Ahhhhhh,hahahahahahaha!! :rofl:

You have won today's BLOD so far (Biggest Laugh of the Day). I had my hands full and a new cookie in my mouth right when I read that, and it made me laugh so much that it was one of those laughs where you rock your head back and laugh---I just had to keep ahold of the cookie with my mouth and not open my mouth up fully to laugh lest the cookie choke me or drop out. :lol:

Yup, lol.

Okay, but maybe we shouldn't sit together lest the two items mix! :lol:

Well, with Covid, I'm sitting 6 ft apart anyway. :facemask:

It was a fun moment. :lol:

Help from Home

When Eastland is tied in the final inning of the annual baseball championship game, Cindy gets up to bat for the grand finale. She bats a home run enabling Eastland to break the tie and retain the championship streak. Cindy sure was the team's help from home plate that they needed.
