Last Week on Road To Avonlea:
Sara Stanley, how dare ya! Humiliate me in there!
You are a horrible old woman, you don't have an ounce of
respect for my feelings!
What colour did you say that dress was?
You got starin' problems?
You two look like sisters! - You think so?
Sara you can't! - Switch Places?
[burp]
Sara Stanley! - Let me come with you
It's a trap! Run Sarah!
Jo Pitts!
I have a score to settle with you.
[♪]
Hey!
Where do you think you're going Heh?
Let me go!
Buck! Buck!
Trying to give us the slip?
Don't play games with us Jo Pitts.
I want it back, Jo.
Every penny.
But, I never stole anything . . .
and I'm not Jo Pitts!
I am Sara Stanley and I ran away.
It's the truth.
Now why won't you believe me?
I don't know any of you or what you're talking about.
You remember me now, Jo Pitts?
Gimme my money.
I'm not who you think I am.
You're making Buck real mad . . .
Yeah.
You'll pay back what you stole from me.
You're gonna pick every pocket on the wharf.
You hear me?
Pickpocket!
Do you hear me? !
Yes I hear you.
And you're going to hand over
every dime of it to me understand!
Bet she's got a stash hid on her right now.
Abe will be glad to see that
Rat... Mole ... board up the window.
Good this time.
[♪]
Eh, now my son, you gotta keep your strength up.
Eh, Is that how you treat yer old man?
And you not seeing me in such a long while.
I wouldn't come to you if ya was drawin' yer dyin' breath.
My own flesh an' blood huh.
Well, ya almost got yer wish when I fell from that lighthouse
in Avonlea into the briney, huh, huh.
But I tricked ya again!
I come back.
Look here, Crane he left me a souvenir.
Pretty, ain't it?
Huh, huh.
It's vengeance I swore and it's vengeance I'll get.
Now you'll leads to me to Ezekiel Crane
an' the treasure he's got hidden.
I ain't leadin' you no place.
Captain Crane's my friend an I ain't betrayin'
him fer the likes o' you!
Ye'll tell me where he's hidin',
cuz if ya don't tell me, you won't tell nobody.
[♪]
...it's the strangest thing!
First, my silver sugar tongs went missing...
then the sugar bowl.
I know I left them right on the table after supper.
And my watch was pinned to my jacket.
It's missing as well.
I hear tell Rachel Lynde's good damask tablecloth just poof,
disappeared off her clothesline!
She's madder than a wet hen about it.
Well, we're not safe in our beds, that's a fact.
I never thought I'd see the day when we'd have
to lock our doors in Avonlea.
Well, Sara.
Quick, say hello.
That's your Aunt Olivia.
Hello, Aunt Olivia.
I have so many Aunts.
I just can't keep 'em straight.
Well, You don't have that many, Sara.
hah - hah . . .
she's just joking Aunt Olivia.
She was?
Oh, don't give it a thought Olivia.
Felix is always telling bad jokes, isn't he Felicity.
The worst.
And he isn't the least bit funny.
You just have to grin and bear it until they grow out of it.
C'mon.
We are all weak vessels.
We encounter various trials as we travel the road of our lives.
We fall into the valley of temptation,
where we are sorely tried.
James, in his epistle to the twelve tribes, cautioned,
Don't he ever stop, my bum is getting sore
Let no one say when he is tempted,
"I am being tempted by God";
Each and every one of us is tempted by his or her own lust,
which grows into rank sin.
You give me one mor poke in the ribs, and I'm gonna belt you!
Not the death of our bodies,
but of that which is far more important - of our souls.
I don't know what's gotten into that girl.
Oh, they all go through it, believe me.
Where is Sara anyway?
I'll find her.
Excuse me.
Put it back, Jo.
See you at the sewing circle.
Bye Aunt Olivia.
[♪]
Sara!
Felix!
[♪]
Janet, I don't know how this happened, but with Felix's help
the money from the collection plate ended up
in their possession.
I beg your pardon.
What do you mean, with Felix's help?
You don't think Sara thought it up on her own, do you?
Well, If she's so disobedient,
as you say she is, then, yes, I do.
Return this money to Reverend Leonard.
Go on, now, both of you, go on!
In my opinion, Janet King, Felix is a bad influence on
Sara I think it is best if they don't play together anymore.
Well, I think it's the other way around.
I think Sara eggs him on, but if that's the way you feel,
it suits me fine!
Sara.
Felix.
C'mon let's go.
We're not staying were we're not wanted.
[♪]
Quit draggin' your feet.
C'mon the Boss wants to see you.
Let go!
Who's there!
Buck Hogan - and Jo Pitts.
Found her.
You shoulda kept runnin', Jo Pitts.
Friends what runs from us ain't friends no more.
She brung ya this.
To make up for lost time.
This all of it?
Fer starters.
Ain't that right, Jo?
Speak up!
The boss is talkin' to ya.
Uh . . yes, sir.
I'm sorry, sir.
Sir, is it.
Oh!
So ya learned respect fer yer elders since ya flew the coop.
I likes respect.
You runs away from us again and ye'll wind up in the boneyard.
Now get her outta my sight.
Don't come back til she's paid in full.
Whatcha doin' with that kid?
What's she to you?
I gotta score to settle with her.
Oh, you don't say...and I've hot a score to settle wuth
that their, Captain Crane.
Captian Crane ain't no thief.
Now you ain't seen none o' that treasure, has you boy?
Now why don't you tell me where he is.
I want whats mine, Pa.
And I want that kid.
Where is he?
Crane won't talk to nobody but me.
You know that.
Captain Crane is in Jamaica.
Jamacia!
And don't you give me no trouble, boy.
None Pa.
Never in the entire history of the King family
has there been a thief! !
Aunt Hetty.
I know you caught me red-handed
and I know it don't look good...
Doesn't look good.
That's right.
Don't look good.
Thing is, you're right.
Oh, whatever were you thinking?
Well, That's just it.
I can't really hardly think at all.
It hurts so much.
What hurts, child?
My head, n' all.
Your head?
Yeah.
Like inside.
Hurts somethin' fierce.
Oh!
You really aren't well, then . . .
You're sick . .
Oh, yeah.
Sick.
Sick as a dog.
Oh, I've been too hard on you . . .
Been hard as nails.
Oh, Sara dear.
May be to late you know.
I'm bound for the River Jordan.
I'm damaged right straight through and out the bottom.
That's what the voices tell me.
Voices?
What voices?
The ones in my head.
Don't you never hear no voices?
No, oh Lord.
You poor dear child.
How long have you been hearing these voices?
Ohh . . .
since. . .
I had the fever.
I must have pushed you too hard.
Oh Sara dear, can you ever forgive me?
Sure.
I forgive you.
What's for supper?
Whatever your little heart desires, my dear.
I'll have cake.
Cake?
You can't have cake for . . .
Of course you can have cake.
I'll make it right away.
You just sit there and rest quietly.
Don't you worry about a thing.
I'll just make a cake.
Chocolate maybe?
Felix, I want the truth.
Who took that money?
Was it you?
No.
It wasn't me.
Well, if it wasn't you.
Was it Sara?
Uh - it wasn't exactly Sara.
Well, who was it then?
I'm speaking to you, young man.
Well, I never . . .
Until I hear the truth, Felix King,
it's bread and milk for supper for you.
[baby crying]
No... no... NO!
[crashing]
Look at this stuff!
Forks.
Knives.
Twenty-four spoons!
What a haul!
Buck Hogan'd give his eye teeth to lay his hands on this!
Sara just what do you think you're doing, young lady?
Uh . . .
I'm cleanin' the silver.
In the middle of the night?
Sure.
The voices made me do it.
I'm layin' in bed.
I'm all snuggled up tight and I hear:
get up n' clean the silver, get up n' clean the silver.
They nag me simething fierce.
Drives a body crazy them voices.
Now, now, Sara don't excite yourself, Sara just leave
the silver where it is, dear, and go on to bed.
I'll bring you up a nice cup of hot chocolate.
And cake.
Cake . . .
of course, go on.
Night, Sara dear.
[♪]
LEMME ME OUTTA HERE! !
You stupid old cow.
Lemme out.
I'll break down the door.
Lemme out.
[screaming]
Hetty!
Oh thank heavens you're here.
Hetty!
Are you all right?
What on earth is going on up there?
Sara.
She's having a ....a fit.
I had to lock her in her room last night.
She got up to polish the Silver!
Well?
At midnight!
That's just plain crazy.
She's demented.
Hears voices.
Voices?
Sounds like she's turned into a raving lunatic.
What do we do?
There's never been even a hint of lunacy in the King family!
There has not.
This is a disaster!
Now what?
Well, I don't know.
But let's not wait to find out.
Now remember, don't be too hard on her.
The child isn't right in the head remember.
Sara - stay calm dear.
It's Aunt Olivia.
Oh my goodness, look at this mess.
Oh no.
Well, she can't get far.
Pardon me.
Excuse me.
Ough!
Sorry sir.
I ain't seen nothin' from you all day.
I can't.
I had enough outta you, Jo Pitts.
GO EARN YOUR KEEP, afore I strangle you myself.
SCAT!
Stick with her.
Get going.
Ohh . . .
my leg . . .
I think it's broke.
He ran right out in front of me.
Well you ran me right down.
Someone get a doctor.
I swear he jumped right up in front of me.
Alright, go get 'im.
He's ripe.
Ough, it hurts me somethin' awful.
Constable!
Thief!
I'm so sorry sir.
Here.
Around the corner.
Cut her off!
[♪]
Gus!
So, I finally got ya - Jo Pitts.
Leggo me, ya old crows . . .
I didn't do nothin' . . .
I ain't goin' back to that ol' witch!
You watch your tongue, young lady!
You come back here you little...
Get her!
I've got her.
I've never seen such a...
Lemme out!
Sara Stanley!
You, stop that.
You'll hurt yourself.
Open this door
Oh, Hetty. I had no idea.
You better get used to it in there because that's
where you're staying until we figure out what to do with you!
Oh!
What are we going to do?
We can't keep her in there forever.
Why not?
Lemme Out!
Why don't we put her in her room and take turns watching her.
A vigil.
Night and day.
And hot baths.
Hot baths followed by ice cold.
Or maybe it's cold followed by hot.
Now...
Or how about a big dose of castor oil to clean her out.
Or, or, oh Hetty that tonic, that one,
twice day settles the nerves.
Oh no ladies, we're deluding ourselves.
A tonic isn't going to settle that child down.
She's a raving maniac.
I think we should call in a specialist from the city . . .
Nonsense.
Specialists!
I don't believe in specialists.
Tell you what's wrong with your left nostril
but they don't know a thing about the right.
No not a specialist.
No, no, ot that kind of specialist.
I mean one of those new-fangled head doctors
who'll talk some sense into her.
Oh Janet, she'd talk rings around any specialist!
There's only really one thing we can do.
Keep all of this private.
Between us.
Sara is our niece.
We owe that much to Ruth's memory.
Treat the child nicely.
Nicely?
Yes, yes, I've made up my mind.
We have to let her out of there.
We have no choice.
From now on, we will handle Sara Stanley
with kindness and . . .
But Hetty, what if it doesn't work?
I am still the eldest, Olivia.
And what I say still goes.
From now on, we'll humour the child.
[screaming]
[♪]
I lived up to my end Gus, now you'll live up to yours.
And to make sure here's
were you'll both stay under lock and key.
Til we're safe and sound in Jamacia...
But til we push off there, Captain...
Gus?
I'm sorry Sara.
Are you alright?
Yes.
But, I don't understand.
I had t' git you away from them.
But it looks like I got us into bigger trouble.
This has gone from bad to worse.
Running away was a pretty silly thing to do.
Should'a never let ya.
Wasn't your fault.
Yeah.
[♪]
Sara, d'ya think ya can squeeze through here?
I don't know.
Let me try.
Now if you get out there, you keep goin'.
What about you?
Don't you worry 'bout me.
Pa needs me fer a while, I'll be all right.
Don't worry the dock's right there.
You be careful.
Go. Don't worry about it.
Run! ...
Stupid!
Gus!
Gus, hurry!
Come on Gus.
Let's go.
Maybe we can catch a night boat.
C'mon.
[♪]
You alright...here... it's getting a bit chilly.
Put this on.
Thank you.
Tell ya....I never thought that Lighthouse would look so good.
Excuse me?
Sara, after you finish your breakfast - I'm not rushing you,
now, of course, no, no, I mean take as long as you wish -
I wondered if perhaps you might like to tidy your room?
Nope.
Fine, fine.
That is absolutely fine, don't get upset now.
Not that you have to do anything.
You can just sit here and twiddle your thumbs,
if that's what you want.
Hey, ol' Aunt Hetty?
What do ya say we go on picnic.
A picnic?
Of course.
Wonderful.
Who would you like to invite?
Felix?
Felicity?
Nope.
Just me . . . an' you.
Oh what a lovely idea.
You and I on a picnic.
Oh Sara, I do believe you are on the mend girl.
[♪]
My, my, I must say this is the nicest time
we've spent together in days.
I'm tickled pink you suggested it, Sara.
It's better than a bloody kick in the bum, ain't it.
[♪]
Sara, the island is the other way, dear. .
On the other side.
No it ain't.
It's over there.
Can't you see it?
Sparkling like a beautiful jewel on the water.
Ah, yes.
Of course, dear.
Whatcha say if we have our picnic in China.
Wherever you like, oh course.
But I think we should row a little to your left.
Isn't that a nice idea?
Nope.
Sara.
Ain't you havin' a good time now Aunt Hetty?
I know.
What if I row for a while.
I kinda like rowin'.
But, if you really want to Aunt Hetty.
Oh, I do, I do dear, I really do.
We have to trade places, ya know.
Yes, right.
Sara!
Don't do that.
Do what Aunt Hetty?
Sara Stanley!
Don't do that .....Eh....!
Sara!
Sara! !
I can't swim! !
I can't swim, Sara!
[♪]
Hey - Jo!
I've been looking everywhere for you!
Mother told us they locked you in the outhouse yesterday . . .
Ya.
Buncha ol' hags, the lot o' them.
Look Jo, I think this whole thing has gone too far, Jo.
I mean, you've got everyone thinking Sara's crazy.
and Aunt Hetty's in a real tizzy . . .
Don't worry about her no more.
How come?
I jest drowned the ol' bat!
[♪]
MOTHER! !
Why, you're white as a ghost, Felix.
Whatever is wrong?
Mother. . .
it's Sara. . .
I don't know how to tell you this . . .
She isn't Sara.
I know, dear.
She hasn't been herself for days, dear.
That's not what I mean.
I mean - she says she went and drowned Aunt Hetty! !
What? ?
Sara drowned Aunt Hetty!
Hurry!
OH GOOD LORD! ! !
We have to do something . . .
We have to find the body! !
YES!
[♪]
Oh No . . .
It can't be.
I don't believe it!
Hetty - Good Lord.
Hetty, what happened?
...swam
Where is she?
I Want to throttle her,
have her committed.
Have myself committed . . .
Felix, grab her feet.
OK this is it.
Thank you kindly.
Appreciate it.
I never thought I'd see Avonlea again.
Come with me?
Nope.
After leavin' a pickpocket with yer Aunt Hetty,
you gonna hafta face her yerself.
I know.
I haven't got the brains God gave geese.
Me neither, I guess.
I shoulda never let you come with me.
Guess we both been kind of stupid.
Thanks, Gus Pike.
[♪]
Aunt Hetty!
Aunt Hetty, I'm home!
Aunt Hetty ...
Aunt Hetty I'm home!
[♪]
...heavens
[♪]
Aunt Hetty!
Aunt Hetty - where are you?
[♪]
Alright, I'll get you all dried off.
Close the door darling.
There we go.
Aunt Hetty!
Aunt Janet . . .
Felix.
Oh, It's so nice to see you! !
NO...NO.
Don't let her near me . . .
Sara! !
No don't get her worked up.
She could be dangerous.
How are you dear?
We just stumbled across Aunt Hetty dripping wet . . .
can you imagine such a thing?
I don't know what you're talking about!
What happened to the house?
Who made this mess . . .
Poor Aunt Hetty.
Gracious Providence . . .
it looks like a tornado struck!
Let me get a blanket for you, Aunt Hetty,
you poor dear thing . . .
NO! NO! Get her away from me.
She's up to something.
Hetty King, if you don't pipe down I'm going
to have a conniption fit! !
Now Sara, don't get excited.
Aunt Hetty is upset.
You're upset.
We're all upset.
So, let's just stand calmly and quietly . . .
while I decide what to do...
... but aunt Janet,
this is all a terrible misunderstanding...
Don't take it the wrong way, dearest,
but you have lost your mind.
STAY STILL!
... are you Sara or not?
Felix! !
Sara!
Sara Stanley!
I thought you was going home?
What's all this?
Uh - I am.
I am going home.
These here are presents.
For my Aunt Hetty.
You ain't Sara.
[moan]
You're Jo Pitts, ain't ya - ya little devil!
Lemme go. Lemme go.
Get your hands off me.
Lemme go.
You see, you thought she was me.
Who?
The girl who looks like me.
And who might that be, Sara?
Jo Pitts.
She was pretending to be me,
only she didn't tell me who she really was.
Sara.
if you would just sit down, perhaps we could....
Don't get her nervous, Olivia.
Lord knows what she'll do.
But that's just the point, Aunt Hetty.
I'm not nervous.
Anyone would get confused
if they thought I was someone else.
But I wasn't here.
And everyone there thought I was someone else, too.
I told you we should get a specialist down here.
They know what to do with these cases.
If you'd let me finish, Aunt Janet,
I could explain everything.
You see, the other girl...
We know that dear.
They're both you.
No, no.
You just think they're both me but they're not.
Although she's very dangerous and she never told me.
Oh make her stop!
Make her stop.
I can't stand it.
Now that does it.
Now I see two of them.
It must be nightmare.
What's going on here?
Who are you?
I'm me, Aunt Janet.
And who are you?
This here is Jo Pitts.
She's the one that stole Sara's dress.
I never stole nothing.
I got it from the poor box.
That ain't stealing.
Felix and I met her one day.
And what exactly would you know about all this Felix King?
It wasn't really my idea.
Jo and I changed places for a few days.
You what! !
I wanted to get back at you Aunt Hetty.
I didn't know what else to do.
You were alway at me.
Oh Good Lord...
[♪]
Do you have any idea how dangerous that was Sara?
Buck...Rat...Abe Pike...
My head is bursting from all of this.
I missed you so much Aunt Hetty.
I'm truly sorry I caused so much trouble.
Well...
I missed that old Sara more than I can tell you.
I'm very grateful to you, Gus Pike,
for bringing her home in one piece.
I wish ya'd all quit yakkin' and figger out
what yer gonna do with me?
I know what I'd like to do with you...
but it's against the law.
Miss King, if ya don't mind my stickin' my two cents worth in,
I'd like to say sumpin' on Jo's behalf.
I can't think of a thing I'd say on her behalf.
I'd lock her up and throw away the key.
I know it.
But you gotta think she ain't had nothin'
and nobody in her life.
Heck.
If it weren't for Ms. King,
I wouldn't know nothin' 'bout nothin'.
Prison would only make her hard and mean.
Sendin' her back where she come from ain't gonna help neither.
Come here,
[♪]
You're a bad apple, Jo Pitts, there ain't no doubt
about it but maybe Gus is right.
Maybe you need a regular life,
with regular meals and regular hours.
And school...
And a nice, clean place to live...
I know.
You could stay at Janet's.
I beg your pardon.
Sara, go on upstairs and tidy yourself up.
Take Jo with you and for heavens sake, keep an eye on her.
Yes, Aunt Hetty...
"Yes, Aunt Hetty"?
That's it?
She asks, an' you go, without givin' her no lip, no nothin'?
What's the fun o' that?
Come on.
How could you dream of suggesting that little demon
come live in my house!
Let her stay with Olivia.
With me? ?
Oh heavens...
What would Jasper say?
I mean, He could handle anyone - but Jo Pitts.
Oh well, she can't stay here.
I've had enough of that child to last a lifetime.
But you Janet, I'm the eldest and it's my decision.
She stays with you.
Over my dead body.
Now see here, Hetty King, you can't push me around.
If that child moves into my house, we're all moving out! !
I have a bone to pick with you, Jo Pitts.
When we switched places, you never warned me about Buck
Hogan and the pickpockets.
How was I to know where you was goin'?
You never warned me about Hetty King, neither.
One doesn't seem as bad as the other...
They ain't.
Hetty's worse.
She was only trying to look after you.
Besides, you're so safe here.
You have nothing to worry about.
Sara?
Jo?
Aunt Olivia's making supper...
Stay here for a while.
Things might turn out differently this time.
Naw.
I... don't fit.
Here.
We made the bet on this in the first place.
I figger I lost.
No.
You keep it.
GIRLS.
We are waiting.
No dilly-dallying now!
Come on, Jo.
[♪]
JO PITTS!
DO YOU HEAR ME WE CAN'T WAIT ALL DAY! !
Don't hold your breath...
cuz I ain't comin'! !
[♪]
[arguing]
[♪]
Everyone out!
[♪]
Don't dawdle. Now Sara.
Now Hetty, remember what we said.
My memory is perfect, Olivia Dale.
Thank you very much.
Elvira Lawson?
I'd like to make a return, if you don't mind.
Is there something the matter with it, Hetty?
Yes.
There is.
Come over here Sara.
You know my mind regarding such frippery.
Now Elvira I'm afraid this pinafore is completely
unsuitable for a young... woman.
So we'd like to see, that is, Sara would like to see
something altogether different.
Don't you agree, Sara.
Actually Aunt Hetty, there's alot to be said for
a solid pinafore...
[crosstalk]
