We made it to the end of the first year in California! In this Season 6 book ender, Shirley's creativity takes new shape as she writes and directs a stage play, "Murder in Mother Goose Land." It results in Shirley enlisting Laverne and the entire gang as actors in the production. Shirley's hoping to present the play before big time theatre producer, but when the performance is moved up, the group scrambles to get ready. Shirley asks Squiggy to organize their cast at Cowboy Bill's before heading over to the theater, but this information is lost in translation, and Squiggy thinks Shirley wants them all to put the play on at the restaurant. While their friends and family put on the show for a customer they mistake for Merrit, Laverne and Shirley are stuck performing the play all by themselves. That means playing every role and changing into every costume with a full audience waiting and watching.

Will this be the moment their dreams come true?

On pod, we talk the episode's theatrics and our general feelings toward Season 6, as well as the alternate version of this episode's conclusion that could have made the series go in a very different direction!
