Luke went inside and shook his head. "Please tell me you have the faintest idea of where Lizzy went." Luke says.

Bo looks at Daisy and then speaks to both Daisy and Julie. "Yesterday was our seven year anniversary of being married and the first one we've had in four years. David and Cooter pitched in to send us to Key West for a two day vacation. But because Julie didn't check to make sure that the charges had been dropped, which they have been and both of you are in the clear, we had to be here for the wedding. Because we had to be here we couldn't go and Lizzy's angry. She blames Julie because if the wedding had waited a few days we could have gone. And now because it didn't wait Lizzy's gone and she's never coming back except to have the kid." Bo says.

"I think that's the best idea you've had in a long time." Luke says walking out of the room.

"Great and I'm not disputing that. What I am saying is that because you couldn't hold off for another few days and didn't ask to see the paperwork about your charges you've screwed me over and ruined the best damn thing in my life." Bo says.

"It's alright Julie I know..." Bo starts. "Stop right there Bo Duke. She destroyed you relationship with Lizzy and yet you continue to stick up for her. Remember the Carnival lady? Diane Benson? Remember when I accused her of playing you like a sucker? You punched me in the face. Julie practically did the same thing with Lizzy and you stick by her. Sounds to me as if somethings changed here. I'd sure hate to think that because she's your sister and not your cousin that you take her word. Sounds pretty screwed up to me." Luke says.

"I don't think you deserve not to know about your daughter or grandkids but to be fair I didn't know you were my son until recently. Because you left her high and dry when she needed you the most I do believe you deserve some of this pain." Rosco says.

"Julie...do you ever do research before you jump into something head first?" Bo asks.

"I know you didn't mean it but unfortunately that doesn't mean much. I know enough to know that the moment you say those four little words Bo will drop everything and take your side. Bo would do anything for Lizzy at the drop of a hat for Lizzy unless you say those four little words: Don't you believe me? Say those words and he'll drop Lizzy in a heartbeat. It's not fair to him Julie. It isn't and if you looked deep inside yourself you'll realize it too. Maybe I have changed Julie but that's because I see Lizzy as a little sister. You destroyed his life by forcing him to choose. You took Lizzy from him because you wanted him to believe you so bad and maybe you don't mean to do it but you've done it and it hurt Lizzy, really bad." Luke says.

"Just patch me through to Julie and Micheal. It's important." Bo says.

"No I won't. Because as much as I want you to connect with your daughter you've pissed everyone off here so bad that you deserve this." Rosco says.

"I just wonder how you're gonna get out of this trouble now. You know before...Lizzy's always gotten you out of trouble but it seems as if because your brother will never take her word over yours there's no real help for you now." Luke says.

Bo calls Daisy and lets her in on the information but can't get a hold of Julie so he calls Devon.

"Sounds like you might need a little more help than you want to admit." Rosco says.

"It's just too bad we don't know what Lizzy would do." Luke says.

Austin is sent upstairs the moment they get home from Julie's reception. Lizzy stares longingly at the tickets on the fridge. "What's wrong?" Bo asks rubbing her back. They had come to a tentative truce for the wedding. "What are those tickets for?" Lizzy asks pointing at them. "A two day cruise." Bo says. "What's the date on them?" Lizzy asks. "Friday." "This past Friday. We supposed to leave on Friday and come back late tonight. In celebration of our seven year anniversary of marriage yesterday. Why did we get screwed? Because your sister found it so damn important to get married today." Lizzy spins around and puts distance between her and Bo. "I've had it. This is the last time she's gonna come between us. I'm not gonna stand for it any more. She came between us for two months when she left because you were so upset about it you wouldn't talk to me. She came between us when we got married because the invitation to our wedding was returned unopened and then she didn't show. She came between us four years ago when I was arrested because she didn't help out and wasn't there. I'm not gonna take it any more Bo." Lizzy says. "Lizzy...I don't know what you want me to say. She's my sister." Bo says. "Don't say anything. I don't care if she was your identical twin brother. I'm through with having her ruin my life. We planned on having a nice quiet life in the country with our family dropping in occasionally to say hi and have dinner and what not but my life has been so riddled with drama that I'm not gonna take it any more. You can not tell me that this does not bother you. When Dad gave us those tickets on Thursday you were just as excited as I was to have a romantic get away and now it's destroyed. All because someone couldn't wait to get married." Lizzy snaps. "Because she was worried about what would happen when she goes to trial, especially if they make Micheal testify against her." Bo says. "Testify for what Bo?" "Those charges of what they thought she did eight years ago. The paperwork was never filed." Bo answers. "Yes it was." Lizzy says exasperatedly. She grabs a book of the bookshelf and flips a few pages shoving it under Bo's nose. "See. Right there. Paperwork filed the day their trial was finished and they were cleared. Right down at the field office in Atlanta. Daisy, Julie, and Brian were all cleared. The two agents that assisted Agent Huntley are facing charges themselves for impersonating a federal agent and a bunch of other crap. Your sister and Daisy can't be brought up on those charges again due to double jeopardy. I wish she had done her research first. I've had it Bo and I'm not gonna give her the chance again. I'm leaving Hazzard. I will be back in seven and a half months to have this baby and hand him over to Daisy but other than that don't expect me to be here again." Lizzy says. She storms back out to her car and leaves the area. "Daddy...are you and Mommy getting a divorce?" Austin asks sticking his head around the kitchen doorway. Bo holds his arms out and Austin runs to him. "I don't know kiddo I really don't know." Bo says hugging Austin tight.

"So why does Daisy need to go to Oklahoma? And Lizzy as well? Those two guys that kidnapped them were taken care of and sentenced to life for attempted murder two days after they assaulted the girls. There is no reason at all for them to be going back to Oklahoma." Luke says.

Meanwhile Bo is trying to read while relaxing on his bed but he keeps glance at the letter. Finally it over comes him and he gets up and grabs it still undecided about whether to read it or not. He decides that he should even if he doesn't want to so he slits the letter open. Dear Bo, If you're reading this it means that we are no longer together and I have left Hazzard. Please know that I never wanted to do this to you because I have always loved you. From the time we met until now my heart has never beat truer but things don't always work out the way we want them to. Please know I didn't leave because of Daisy. She could never drive me away. She was my best friend and like a sister to me. I left because of circumstances I seem unable to control. You need to be there for your sister because as much as it hurts to say this no matter how much you love me she will always come first. I wish she didn't, but I get it. She's family and she's more important. I sometimes dreamed of life with you but it doesn't look like it's gonna come true this time. A relationship has to be more than me loving you and your sorta love for me. You have to trust what I say even if it means considering your sister is lying. I'm sorry that her and I can't get along but you can't please everyone. I will be back for Daisy's wedding I have to come back and by then I hope you understand why I left and why I broke it off with you. Bo...you've always been there for me well whenever your sister would allow it but not any more. What I'm about to say is going to make you angry so I will be gentle. It's time you see that your life will never become what you want with a woman if you don't let your sister go a bit. You can't keep trying to protect her. I'm sorry but that's the way I see it. Love Always, Your Lizzy. Bo put the letter down and flopped back on the bed.

So Lizzy spends most of the day watching David teach Austin to ride.

"Thanks Daisy. I'm sure it'll help." Amber says.

"Amber, tell me what's going on." Lizzy demands. Amber sighs and hands Lizzy Dawn then pulls up a chair. "Four weeks ago I miscarried and my boyfriend dumped me. Docs said it was a little girl. I haven't been sleeping well ever since and well...I guess it just hurts more than I want to admit." Amber says. "It'll do that for some time. Especially when you see little kids playing in the park or something like that. You'll get over it though and learn to live with it." Lizzy says. "How can you be so sure?" Amber asks. "Because I did. I made it through and I know you'll do the same. You're cut from some pretty tough stuff and you'll bounce back. As for that guy...it was his loss. You'll find someone better out there for you." Lizzy says. "Yeah you're right I will." Amber says.

"How bout some ridding lessons?" David suggests. Lizzy looks up. "I've got a nice little mare who would just love you to pieces."

Lizzy listened half enthralled and half remembering how Bo could get.

Soon breakfast was on the table and they were all enjoying it.

"What do you say I whip you up some?" Lizzy asks.

"I like bacon." Austin says. "Just like your daddy. What about Chocolate chip muffins?" Lizzy says.
