well, her grandson also perished. a little helpless baby.
and when you really examine it, too many people attributed to the fire/baby's demise.
albert and his douchebag of a friend who we only see for one episode for sneaking down there to smoke.
hester sue for scaring them and then making them forget their pipe.
then you have genius hester sue going to find where the 'smell' was coming from and says it is probably the coffee on the stove UP THE GODDAMN STAIRS! what? an over thousand pound stove was managed up those stairs??? moron!
then you have these genius people who put a lock on the dunny door. this is a mother fuquing boarding school for the blind. the only sighted person is hester
Mensa
sue! what the hell is anyone going to see?
and then you have this little boy needing to use the john with the lock on the door and then gets locked in there during the fire and can't get out.
so Alice goes up there to play rescuer and goes to the baby but hears Dunny boy calling and banging on the door. so she goes to him. then goes back for the baby and is trapped up there. and literally bangs the baby on the window trying to break it. and apparently those windows were made of NASA issued plexiglass that shi7 never broke!
so there we have it.
alice died but she had one job.
Oh God. Fortune

the bitch should have thrown something through the window and then gone out with the kid!
and I completely forgot to mention when the fire broke out Mary leaves the baby up there. two seconds to grab the kid and she failed at that.

The whole damn episode was out & out stupid (not to mention very sad) The real Mary Ingalls didn't have a husband or child .So the writers should have left well enough alone instead of writing it. If Hersha Parady ( the actress who played Alice Garvey) wanted to get off of LHOP they could have let her get off the show in a less gruesome way (like the Garveys moving, her & Jonathan getting a divorce or anything else)

the entire retardedness of the episode is spelled out in my first post on this thread.
I even forgot one mary leaving the kid in the room to begin with!

@justavictim24 : You're right, I thought she was there.
Yeah Hester Sue probably told her that Alice had used Mary's baby to break the window. I don't recall her mentioned her best friend's name afterward, like she had never existed. -

At least we know that Baby AdamJr wasn't killed by the fire, but by Alice Garvey smashing windows with his head. I also really wouldn't grieve the loss of Alice, because Hester Sue was always up on everyone's business and obviously told Caroline that Alice used him as a battering ram. Hester Sue was soooo annoying, I wouldn't have minded her getting grilled to a crisp in the fire too.

Alice Garvey was an awful person. She was always so sour looking. Remember how poorly she treated her own son when he was struggling in schoool? Like he was an embarasssment. And then don't get me started about how she used Mary's baby to break windows when she was trapped in the blind school fire.
A truly terrible person. -

It's been a while since I've seen this episode, but why was Alice there to begin with? Was she teaching there? The fire was at night wasn't it. Of course 30+ years ago I doubt TV writers would have ever imagined that a forum would exist for fans to pick apart every inconsistency.

They had just had a party/ fundraiser to collect money for their plight. she was there late cleaning up since dishwashing machines didn't exist back then.

Not only did Hester Sue help the fire spread more quickly (how about closing that basement door, Hester Sue, or maybe not open it in the first place when there's smoke billowing out of it?), but the least she could have done was stand under the window and encourage Alice to throw the baby to her.

I will go to my grave never understanding why
SHE WENT TO THE SECOND FLOOR TO TEND TO THE COFFEE LEFT ON THE THOUSAND POUND STOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She was halfway up the stairs when she saw the smoke coming from the basement door! moron!

Everyone took their stupid pills in that one. Like Mary would have EVER left her baby. Maternal instinct would have kicked in and she would have grabbed that baby without even thinking. Especially since Mary as a blind woman could not see how bad the fire was, so she would have assumed the worst. And then she and Adam are chilling on the lawn outside the burning house and don't start asking about the baby until they hear the glass breaking. Like Mary wouldn't have been asking about her baby every single second until she had him back in her arms?
