"Hi, I've got a favor to ask of your nephew but I don't think he'll talk to me." Cooter says.

Cooter waved and drove silently over to the Duke farm and prayed they'd accept him. He knocked on the door and hoped Uncle Jesse would be the one to answer it.

"I know Daisy. Thank you so much. It's a start. I don't blame you. Now I've got to figure out how to get Bo to listen to me and see if he'll talk to Lizzy." Cooter says.

"So she won't come to Hazzard let alone talk to me?" Cooter asks.

"No reason why?" Cooter asks.

"That's all she said?" Cooter asks.

"Sorry I just couldn't sit at home and wonder if she'd talk to me." Cooter says.

Lizzy sighs hanging up the phone knowing that she would probably get a call from Bo soon.

"Daisy I know you're forgiving enough to believe him but I still can't take the chance he's gonna take Belle. I'm sorry Daisy. I'd love to believe him but I don't know." Lizzy says.

"Hey Daisy. I just put Belle down what's up?" Lizzy asks.

"Hello?" Lizzy asks picking up the phone after putting Belle to sleep.

"Yeah I guess. Thanks Daisy. And could you tell her next time she borrows the junked Mustang to move the seat back. I'm not nearly as short as she is." Cooter says.

"Yeah I guess. Besides I doubt he'll believe me if I tried to explain all this to him. I should have done it differently. I shouldn't have gotten so angry. She just reminded me so much of her mom that I couldn't let it die." Cooter says.

"I know she's as hard headed as I am, believe me I know that, but I have faith in you. Maybe I should ask Bo. He could always get through to her." Cooter says.

"Maybe...I know it's a lot to ask but maybe you could get her to talk to me again. I won't force you but if...maybe if she knew things were alright between us she'd talk to me." Cooter says.

"That really doesn't help. But thank you. I don't know what to do. I want to call her but I doubt she'll even talk to me." Cooter says.

"You both are very kind. Wait what do you agree with Daisy on? The godfather business or that Lizzy will never forgive me?" Cooter says.

"I want to apologize to you too Enos it wasn't fair to you either what I did." Cooter says.

"I'm still saying you shouldn't but I can't say I'm not honored. Do you think Lizzy will ever forgive me?" Cooter asks.

"Me? I couldn't not after everything I've done to you. Daisy it just wouldn't be right." Cooter says.

"I know, you are? I'm so sorry Daisy. It's just...I was only 15 when Lizzy was born and her mom was 16 I didn't want Lizzy to shelf her future with a kid. She had such a bright future a head of her and I knew a kid could ruin it. I didn't want that. Truly what parent does. So I thought if I could anger her enough she'd do what I asked. It happened before I was praying it would now. It's too bad it didn't. I guess I'm just so scared of what would happen now if I apologized. I think she's better off thinking I hate her." Cooter says looking down at his feet.

"You shouldn't have done that but I'm glad you did. I wanted to apologize for what I did. It's just seeing Lizzy yesterday made something snap. I didn't mean to hurt you and I really hope you forgive me. Things have been really hard since Lizzy left. I know that's not an excuse. Something in me snapped when I realized that Lizzy would chance a custody trial to see her best friend get married. Maybe I've been to hard on her but I don't know she's just so darn hard headed." Cooter says.

"Can I come in?" Cooter asks.

"Look I appreciate it Bo really I do, but until my father figures out what has crawled up his butt and died..." Lizzy starts. "Mommy said a wordy dird." Belle says. "You little girl need to stop repeating everything your Uncle Fred says." Lizzy says. "Sorry Mommy." Belle says pulling out her puppy dog pout. "Until then the safest place for me and Belle is in Cali. I promise I'll keep in better touch but for now we have to go." Lizzy says. "Can we see Uncle Fred." Belle asks. "When we get home." "Can he take me to the zoo?" "No, I draw the line at Zoos."
