The Legacy.....season 3
After rescuing a lady in a red convertible who's brakes went out coming down a mountain, the 3 Duke men find out that it is Uncle Jesse's first girlfriend, Lucinda Meadows. He had been in competition with Boss over her but she ended up marrying Cyrus Meadows instead. In the next scene Boss made Cletus temporary Sheriff and Wilbur Fudge temporary Deputy since Rosco and Flash were at obedience training, to which Cletus responded to Boss "But Rosco doesn't need obedience training. He comes whenever you call". Lucinda shows Boss an IOU from June 4, 1940 that proves Boss owes Cyrus ( and her) 5000 dollars but of course he says he's not giving it to her. When Lucinda and the Dukes figure out that Cyrus hid 9 barrels of moonshine In the Rainbow Mine under their property they figure out it's worthless because Cyrus was a bad moonshiner. Lucinda then takes a sample of Jesse's shine to Boss and offers to sell him 9 barrels of it. Thinking she really did have that much good shine Boss made a deal with Mean Joe Hatcher. Cletus put a tracking device in Jesse's truck so they caught the Duke boys right after they loaded the 9 barrels but Hatcher stole it. The evidence got destroyed when Hatcher and his partner dumped it to keep from getting caught.....which didn't work since they got caught.
-- I wish we would have seen Lucinda in a future episode. I loved it when she was sitting with Jesse on the front porch under a full moon.
-- This was the second episode in a row where Luke pushed Boss over to save his life. This time Hatcher was going to run him over.
--Jesse mentions his wife Martha...also known as Lavinia in another episode. Maybe one was a middle name or nickname.
--classic scene where a patrol car gets sawed down the middle in the sawmill. Wilbur "did you hear a funny noise?"
-- When Cletus asked for a sip of shine to toast the old days Boss said "Cletus, you weren't around in the old days and I ain't too pleased to have you around in the new days neither"
--My favorite line in the whole series is by Lucinda "Well, I put myself in the hands of the Lord and He put me in the hands of the Dukes and I guess maybe you couldn't get a better combination than that"
--One of my favorite episodes!
