Airdate:
12/27/79
Cindy is getting close to delivering, but with Ben spending
long hours at the mill, she suspects she may not be interesting to him anymore.
Enter Corabeth with a new book, “The Fastidious Wife,” and all the ways to
accommodate your man at every turn. Going too far, however, she passes out from
exhaustion, and nearly loses her baby. The doctor informs her to stay in bed
and take it easy, and Ben is all too happy to wait on her hand and foot.
Subplot: Jeffrey and Serena can’t bear too give up a
pregnant, and find it even
harder to ditch her newborn kittens.. so, it looks
like the Waltons have some barn mousers on their hands now! (About time the Waltons got around to an orphaned cat
story!)
Actually a rather silly episode works as feminist tract with
mixed results. Seeing Cindy as a Stepford Wife isn’t all that funny, partly
because she acts like a Stepford Wife anyway.
