Ladonna Compson: Party Animal

Summary

Plot
The episode begins with Fern and Ladonna admiring fall and Fern tells Ladonna that she likes to put leaves in her scrapbook, which Ladonna decides to copy. Then Fern invites Ladonna to craft class to make gourd people which Ladonna imagines as Gourdstein and then agrees.

Trivia

 * This episode takes place in the fall, but there are other Arthur episodes that take place in future seasons (nature) without Ladonna, suggesting a time loop.
 * Alternatively she simply wasn't part of the events of those episodes (in reality of course she didn't exist as a character yet).
 * When Ladonna goes to the Elwood City Community Center to work on a project together with Fern, Carl is seen there, which hints it's either Tuesday or Thursday on that particular day.

Episode connections

 * The plot of this episode is similar to "Prunella Packs It In".
 * Ladonna asked Fern for permission to "copy" her idea of pressing leaves in a scrapbook, referring to their previous experience with copying in "Fern and the Case of the Stolen Story".

Errors

 * The ABC website's episode description cuts the title short as "Ladonna Compson".
 * When Binky says "All right, I'll put you down for an apple pie", the trees behind him are green. When he says "Well, I can't do everything!" the trees behind him are autumn colors: red and yellow and brown.
