51. Meet Tilly Masterson in Not Every Stabbing Is Fatal
Forced social interactions are commonplace for teenagers, especially when your moms meet in the grocery store over a shared love of Tupperware. "Coolest Girl on the Bus" Tilly Masterson joins Susan, Virginia, and Mary Jo in the Neon Clubhouse to talk about being tough, piercings, groupies, and moving around a lot. They also work out how to become a double agent.
Recording from March 7, 1987.

50. Meet Nancy Fay in The Bases
For the first time ever, the Neon Clubhouse welcomes a real woman in Nancy Fay Robinson. She has so much more knowledge than Susan, Virginia, and Mary Jo (obviously) when it comes to women's matters. And, by "women's matters," we mean sex. Nancy graciously walks everyone through their experiences to categorize their bases, and you'll never guess who is the closest to being a home run woman.
Recording from February 28, 1987.

49. Meet Sarah May Jackson in Homeschool & Comedy
Mary Jo finally meets a fellow homeschooler. Sarah May Jackson visits, and the Neon Clubhouse devise a way for the "schools" to be rivals. They land on stand-up comedy competition, which goes ... well, you'll have to listen to find out. They also pray about Mary Jo's pubic hair.

48. Meet Charlotte Robbins in Pets & Gross Stuff
Charlotte Robbins is really good at taking care of animals even though she doesn't have any of her own. Pickles agrees that she is very good at it and approves her "behind the ears" petting technique. Fed up with not being able to do stuff because they are "too young," Susan, Mary Jo, and Jessie advise Charlotte on how she can get away with starting her own veterinarian clinic.
The Clubhouse also talks about naming their tonsils, Days of Our Lives, evil twins, word problems, sleeping on the bus, and the proper disposal of boogers.

47. Meet Carol-Anne Silver in Clubs and Lost and Found
