The Baby-Sitters Club – Kristy and the Snobs

By: Sammi Turano

David Michael (Benjamin Goas) and Kristy (Sophie Grace) are mourning the death of their beloved dog Louie, while the Thomas and Brewer families work on blending their lives together.

Liz (Alicia Silverstone) and Watson (Mark Feuerstein) serve David Michael, Kristy, Karen (Sophia Reid Gantzert), Andrew (Troy Ames) , Sam (Dylan Kingwell) and Charlie (Ethan Farrell) breakfast. Karen complains about her cantaloupe being cut wrong, while Kristy eats David Michael’s pancakes because he doesn’t like pancakes and doesn’t want to hurt Watson’s feelings.

Later on, Stacey (Shay Rudolph) comes over to see Kristy and Sam, with whom is her new ‘friend she texts.’ As all the kids hang out, Kristy’s new neighbor Amanda (Lia Frankland) comes over with an invitation for Liz. She makes snarky comments about Kristy using the wrong towel for the pool and accuses her of being from a barn or New Jersey. Kristy wants to tell her where to shove it, but decides to play nice.

At the meeting, Stacey and Kristy meet with Dawn (Kyndra Sanchez), Mary Anne (Malia Baker), Claudia (Momona Tamada) and Mallory (Vivian Watson). They all talk about their summers before getting down to business. Jessi (Anais Lee) comes in late, but is saved by Kristy’s wrath, thanks to her letting things go.

After taking a call, they discuss Jessi’s ballet auditions, the first day of school and where Mary Anne stands with Logan. The two of them haven’t talked since camp, so the girls try to figure out what is going on.

Stacey then talks about Sam and picks on Kristy about not having a social life in her new neighborhood. Kristy retorts that she is having tea with Amanda and her mom in a few days.

At the tea, Amanda’s mom Mrs. Delaney (Jaycie Dotin) makes condescending comments toward Liz and the fact that she is a working mom. Liz takes it in stride, but is upset with the fact that she was so rude.

Later on, Dawn and Mary Anne work on some sort of astrological thing to see if Mary Anne is compatible with Logan. Sharon(Jessica Elaina Eason) and Richie (Marc Evan Jackson) check in on them, but seem confused by what they are doing.

Dawn then calls Logan (Rian McCririck) to get some information for the compatibility test, but get shut down when his mom catches him giving out personal information.

That night, Kristy is missing Louie and staring at his old good bowl when Watson comes down to make her a midnight snack. He wants them to talk….or sit in silence, whichever she prefers. She begins to put the food away and thanks him for being there.

At the meeting, Kristy complains about the debacle at the Delaney house when the woman herself calls for a sitter. Kristy is the only one free, so she takes the job…despite being unhappy about it. The rest of the meeting is spent gossiping over the astrology project.

Kristy goes to the job, where she finds out Amanda needs a babysitter (despite being Mallory’s age) because she got caught sneaking out to see her boyfriend. Kristy think she is too young for one, but Amanda blows her off and demands a drink while she watches TV.

They end up at the Thomas-Brewer house where Amanda ends up bonding with David Michael. Kristy realizes she is just lonely.

Meanwhile, Mary Anne, Claudia and Stacey take pictures for social media to impress Logan, which works.

At dinner, Watson says Amanda had a good time and  Mrs. Delaney invited them to a charity event. Liz doesn’t want to go and ends up arguing with Watson.

The Thomas-Brewers go to the event, where David Michael falls in love with a dog. A woman named Shannon is in charge of them, so David Michael decides to name the dog in her honor.

The episode ends with the girls hanging out with Kristy’s family and Logan…who showed up as a surprise for Mary Anne.
