Not well. They are pet-sitting 2 puppies and we proceed to watch the kids stuff these poor dogs with lots of cheese, more cheese, and then, cheesy eggs. Poor things. In a follow up to last week's Dig, we explore the IBLP version of finishing school, EXCEL. They have to train all these little ladies on how to grow up and be manipulated and coerced by their authorities. We look at how it evolved, what they were teaching, and get an outsiders view of these girls through a newspaper journalist embedded with them. Joy Branch is the girl you never want to meet.
