The Famous Five (2023) (2023)

Episode Overview

Thelma and Iola are excited to embark on a cruise down the Ray River on the Dixie Bell, thanks to a tempting two-for-one offer that made the trip possible. However, Iola soon reveals that her mother has had another dizzy spell, preventing her from leaving. Mama reminds Iola of previous occasions when her mother held her back. Feeling motivated, Iola rushes home to stand up to her mother. Moments later, she returns, revealing she told her mother she was going on the cruise, but her mother responded by kicking her out. Reluctantly, Mama and the family agree Iola can stay with them until the trip, but things quickly take a turn for the worse. Iola takes over Mama's kitchen, working tirelessly from dawn until dusk, even vacuuming under Vint and Naomi's bed at 7 AM. As a bunkmate, she proves difficult, constantly getting up to use the bathroom, opening the window, and piling on more blankets.
