- Quotes
Rose Nylund: This is exactly what happened during the Great Herring War.
Blanche Devereaux: The Great Herring War?
Rose Nylund: Yes, between the Lindstroms and the Johanssons.
Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: Oh, THAT Great Herring War.
Rose Nylund: The two families controlled the most fertile herring waters off the coast of Norway, so naturally, it seemed like it would be in their best interest to band together. Oh, boy, was that a mistake. You see, they couldn't agree on what to do with the herring.
Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: Oh, well that's understandable. I mean, the possibilities are overwhelming.
Rose Nylund: Exactly. The Johanssons wanted to pickle the herring, and the Lindstroms wanted to train them for the circus.
Blanche Devereaux: Weren't they kind of hard to see riding on the elephants?
Rose Nylund: Oh, not that kind of circus. A herring circus. Sort of like Sea World, only smaller. Much, much smaller. But bigger than a flea circus.
Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak: Uh, tell me, Rose, um... Ah-ha ha ha!... Did they ever shoot a herring out of a cannon?
Rose Nylund: Only once. But they shot him into a tree. After that no other herring would do it.

Blanche reminisces about how she first met Rose and Dorothy. Where it all been for the trio of friends.
It's been a great first series, and was hoping it would end with a classic, I was not disappointed, this is a hilarious episode. It's loaded with all that's good about the show, sarcasm, wit, classic one liners, and of course Dorothy's death stares.
Flashback stories don't always work, but in this instance it works incredibly well.
There's something so magical about this show, I don't know why, but it reminds me of a much happier time, a less complex era, there's just something about the girls sat enjoying tea and cake, they are all so incredibly natural with one another.
Sophia with the knife, I'd have jumped out of my skin too.
Perfection.
10/10.
