Mrs. Henderson

Mrs. Henderson was Susan Delfino's co-worker at Oakridge Elementary School.

Season 8
Susan is in her classroom, along with Juanita and several other classmates of hers. Susan tells the kids that as soon as they finish their worksheet on ladybugs they can go outside and try to find some. Juanita turns to the back of the classroom as Mrs. Henderson walks in, greeting Susan and asking her how it is going. Susan says "Good. It's nice to be back. To be honest, I've been feeling a little down lately, this is just what I needed." Mrs. Henderson apparently sympathizes with her, but Juanita calls her and announces that Cupcake (the class hamster) is not moving. Susan tells her she's probably sleeping, but Juanita reveals that she poked her with the pencil a couple of times, and adds that "She's D-E-A-Dead." The kids are surprised by this and get up from their desks, as Susan tries to maintain order by telling them that she knows what to do. However, she quickly turns to Mrs. Henderson and asks "Oh, my God, what do I do?". Mrs. Henderson tells her there's a little spot in the garden where they bury the class pets. The word "bury" strikes a spark with Susan. Her colleague suggests that she has a little funeral and say a few words, but advises her not to mention God, because Amanda's parents are atheist lawyers and major douches. She then leaves the classroom, and Susan looks very preoccupied. ("Secrets That I Never Want to Know")
