Bo and Luke drive up to Cooter's, but Cooter is staring off into space. Bo: Cooter? Luke: Cooter? Bo: Hey Cooter! Cooter: What? Oh. Hey ya'll missed it! Luke: Missed what? Cooter: Oh man, you shoulda seen it. Bo: Seen what? Cooter: There I was, just checking the oil of this here T-bird, when here she comes, right across the square and in front of the courthouse, NAKED AS A JAYBIRD! Bo: Really!? Who? Cooter: I dunno...but it was definatly a "she". But I couldn't see her face. Bo: I wouldn't have noticed her face either if I was the one lookin'. Luke: So uh...what did you see? Cooter: <grins> Everything else. The three of them grin and laugh together as Rosco comes over. Rosco: All right. Now did any of you see that um... Bo: Shucks Rosco...me and Luke missed it. Cooter: I saw her though. Rosco: Can you give a description? Cooter: Shoot Rosco. You saw her too. Looked just like any other naked woman. Rosco: Did you catch her hair color? Cooter: Oh yeah. It was long brown hair. Luke: Well that could be anybody. Cooter: And she wore red high heels. Bo: You remember that? Cooter: Well I was just wonderin' how she could run so fast in them things. Luke: Not too hard I guess. Daisy runs in heels all...the...time. Rosco: Ooh Oooooh! Thank you very much Luke Duke! Luke: Wait! You know very well that couldn't have been Daisy! Cooter: Yeah, especially with Enos standing right there. Bo: Enos saw it? Rosco: For a second. He's taking a cold shower now. I think it was a bit much for him. Luke: Well it couldn't have been Daisy. She's out at the farm. Rosco: Well, is there anyone there to confirm that? Bo: Sure. We'll CB her right now. Bo goes over and gets on the CB. Bo: This is Lost Sheep to Bo Peep. You got your ears on. Daisy: Right here honey. Bo: Hey, is uh, Uncle Jesse there with ya? Daisy: No. He went to Atlanta early this morning. Bo: Well uh...is there anyone there with ya? Daisy: No. I've been the only one here since you and Luke left for town. Bo and Luke look at each other while Rosco laughs. Balladeer: Oh dear. I don't think Daisy knows what's coming.

<WARNING: THIS STORY IS RATED PG-13> Tonight on the Dukes: When a streaker starts tearing through Hazzard County, it starts to turn some heads. But what happens when the prime suspect becomes...Daisy Duke? Rosco and Enos are walking out of the station. Rosco: Now Enos, you better bring in your quota of tickets for this month. Enos: But what if there ain't a lot of people speedin'? Rosco: That ain't my problem...you just bring in those tickets and...JUDAS PRIEST ON A PONY! Enos: What? Rosco: Don't look! But it's too late. Enos turned bright red and spun back around while Rosco regained his composure. Rosco: Jit jit...FAREEEEEEEZZZE! Enos: Is she gone? Rosco: Done turned the corner! Come on Enos! Enos: Nuh uh! Rosco: Enos! This is no time for that! We've got ourselves a streaker! Rosco runs off down the road and Enos follows reluctantly. Enos: Sometimes I hate my job...

Over the next few days, Luke and Daisy volunteer to do any and all chores that involve going to the barn, so they can check on Enos. Then, on Saturday, Luke goes with Uncle Jesse to town. There, he meets a prim and proper lady with a large hat. Jesse: Luke, this is Mrs. Olivia Hartwood. Luke: Howdy ma'am. Oliva: Hello. I understand you knew the Strate boys? Luke: Yes'm. I knew them from school. Olivia: We were able to find Rufus and his father has agreed to let us take him in. My husband is a police officer and can give him the proper discipline he needs. Luke: Rufus sure needs it ma'am. He'd steal my lunch. Olivia: But we still need to find Enos. Luke: Maybe he wants to stay with his Pa. Olivia: <sighs> I can understand that Luke. But his father simply isn't capable of giving him a proper home and has agreed to let me take him in as well. Luke: His Pa agreed to it? Olivia: Yes he did. Jesse: Now Luke...you sure you don't know where Enos is? Luke: Well...I can help ya look for him. Olivia: I'd sure appreciate it Luke. Cue Kitty

The next day, Luke is in somewhat better spirits. Bo: See? I told ya you'd pass the driver's test. Luke: I know. Bo: And now you can see what Uncle Jesse got ya for your birthday. Bo and Luke race home and Luke can't believe his eyes. Uncle Jesse is standing in front of a Spyder Sports car, dangling a pair of keys. Jesse: Well? You want it or not? Luke: You mean it? Jesse: You can drive now can't ya? It's all yours. Jesse tossed him the keys and Luke catches them. Luke: Come on Bo! Bo: I knew you'd like it. Luke gets in the sports car, but not without a warning. Jesse: Now having a car is a big responsibilty. Luke: I know Uncle Jesse. Jesse: You won't be gettin' in trouble now will ya? Luke: I won't. I'll be real careful with it. Jesse: All right then. You two have fun. Bo and Luke take off in the car. Bo: You know what? Luke: What? Bo: With this car, you can go to that party over in Cass County this weekend. Luke: <grins> Yeah I could... Bo: And bring me with ya... Luke: You just wanna go cuz Winifred Montgomery will be there. Bo: Maybe, but then don't you want to see Patricia Henderson? Luke grins even wider. Luke: Cousin, we're going to a party.

Dinner was quiet at the Strate house that night. Even Tommy was being quiet. The twins were both sleeping in the nursery as Hercules wimpered by the back door (as he wasn't allowed in the house). To everyone's surprise, it was Lucas that finally spoke up. Lucas: At least we caught it early... Lily: We did...but still... Daisy: I knew there might be something...them being so early and I'm so... Enos: You are not. Daisy: You're no young buck yourself you know. Enos: <laughs> I know. Tommy: Will she ever talk? Daisy: Maybe...she can learn sign language at least. Enos: And it'll be easier for her too...seeing as we caught it early. Lucas: <mumbles> Ain't nothin' wrong with not talkin'... Lucas smiled and played with his peas. After dinner, he and Lily did the dishes while Daisy took care of the twins. Tommy went out back to play with Hercules. Tommy: You can hear me can't ya? Hercules: Woof. Tommy: Good. I don't think you could do sign language too good. Your paws are too big. Hercules licked Tommy's face. He'd grown quite a bit too, hence why he wasn't allowed in the house. At bedtime, Lily was able to position herself on the floor of her room to hear her parents talking. Daisy: You're not sorry we had them are you? Enos: Now whatever gave you that idea? Daisy: Well...we might as well face it...we are pretty old for this. Enos: Maybe so, but if I'm still old enough to handle being Sheriff, I think I can handle raising twins...even if one of them does happen to be deaf. Daisy: Oh Enos...I just hope I can handle it. Enos: You will Daisy...I'll be right here with ya... Lily moved away from the floor and smiled. She wouldn't have traded parents like that for anything.

Luke is walking home from school, laughing with his friends, Bo and Cooter. Bo: You know, I didn't think teachers could get that mad. Cooter: I didn't think their faces could turn all them pretty colors. Luke: You two are just lucky you didn't get caught. Uncle Jesse'd tan your hide Bo! Bo: Aw, you're just jealous cuz you weren't in that class. Luke: Not really. No one can pin this one on me. Cooter: Hey, I'll be at your place tomorrow okay? Bo: Sure thing Cooter. Cooter goes off in another direction as Bo and Luke continue walking home. Bo: You remember what tomorrow is don't ya? Luke: Yeah. My history exam. Bo: Besides that! Shoot, don't you ever think about stuff other than school? Luke: And my driver's test. Bo: And your birthday! Luke: Hence the driver's test. Bo: And the party. Luke: Provided I pass the driver's test. Bo: Luke, you've got a one track mind. Luke: At least mine isn't always on the track to trouble.

I think I just swallowed my gum!

Okay, something we've been wondering. Why are there no pictures of Enos and Daisy together??? Is it for the same reason they never let them get married? Is there at least some pictures out there of the two of them?

Enos was out on patrol and was thinking of taking a break when the call came in over the CB. Cletus: <over CB> Deputy Hogg calling Sheriff Strate...You there Sheriff? Enos: <picks up CB> What is it Cletus? Cletus: Um...I got yer daughter on the phone. She wants you to meet her at Doc. Appleby's office. Enos: Why? What happened? Cletus: She just said it's important. Enos: I'm on my way. Enos came into the office and found the Doctor talking to Cooter. Doc: Doesn't surprise me one bit actually. Cooter: Oh there you are. Lily's calling Daisy. Enos: What's wrong? What happened? Doc: Sit down. Enos: <sitting down> What's going on? Doc: It's about Georiga... Lily managed to reach her mother at the Duke farm. Daisy came in later with Jill, who was carrying Daisy Mae. Daisy: What's this all about? Enos: Sit down honey. The doctor explained the situation to Daisy as Enos held her hand. Cherry sat in the waiting room, giving George a bottle. Lily held Georgia close and stroked the baby's soft brown curls. Lily: You'll be okay Georgia...you'll be okay... But of course, little baby Georgia couldn't hear a thing.

The next week, Lily and Cherry go over to the garage to check up on T.J., and also tease him a bit. However, they have to bring the twins along as it's their turn to babysit. Lily: <carrying Georgia in a carrier> So how's the car coming? T.J.: <grins> Wouldn't you like to know? I'm still working on banging the body back in shape. Cherry: <carrying George in another carrier> So is the bet still on? T.J.: Of course it is. Lily: So where's the car? T.J.: Well I don't work on it here. It's back at our farm. Lily: You live on a farm? T.J.: I gotta live somewhere. Cherry: I betcha thought he slept on a grease rack over the garage didn't cha? Lily: I wouldn't have been surprised. Just then, there's a loud clamorous noise from the back of the garage. The three teenagers jump and George wakes up and starts to wail. Cooter: Sorry 'bout that kids. Knocked over a rack of oil pans. T.J.: Dad! You done scared my dog! Cherry: <picking up George> That's okay. Easy there Georgie. It's okay. Lily looks down at Georgia, who's still asleep. Lily: Georgia honey, how are you able to sleep through that? Lily crouches down by the baby girl, who's still asleep and sucking on her fist. Cooter: <coming out> Sorry about that Georgie. T.J.: At least the other one didn't wake up. Cooter: She didn't? Lily: No. She's still asleep. Cooter: <looking at Georgia> Um...come with me...and bring her with ya. Lily: <standing up> What? Why? Cooter: Because a baby don't just sleep through a racket that'd wake the dead.

The next morning is Saturday and Uncle Jesse sets Luke down for a good talk. Jesse: Now Luke, do you know where Enos is? Luke: Why? Jesse: Because I was in town yesterday and the Sheriff was looking for him...Rufus too. Luke: <looks down> I uh...I dunno where he is...I just uh...saw him after school yesterday... Luke hates lying to Uncle Jesse, but he's afraid to tell anyone where Enos is hiding, especially since it's his fault people are trying to take him away. Jesse: Now Luke, I want you to be honest with me...Did Rufus ever hit you? Luke thinks before answering. The evidence he's turned in has already proved that Rufus is a bully. And confessing that he was a victim wouldn't prove that he was the one to turn him in. Luke: Yes sir. He'd steal my lunch. Jesse: Now from what I heard from the sheriff, there's a nice couple from Alabama, relations of Jeb's late wife Emma, who want to take the boys in. Luke: But why can't they stay with their Pa? Jesse: Now you know I hate to break families up and I don't want to see Jeb lose them boys either. But these people would be able to get help for Rufus so he won't act that way no more and they'd be able to keep him from hurting Enos too. Luke looked down. He figures that he shouldn't have taken the picture of Rufus hurting Enos. That's what was causing the trouble. Uncle Jesse let Luke go and tend to his chores. Meanwhile, Enos is sleeping in the loft of the barn, right next to where something else is hidden. Daisy climbs up to where she stashed her diary to hide it from Bo and gasps when she finds a boy up there. Daisy: Aack! Enos: Shhh! Oh please don't tell on me! Daisy turns bright red and shys away. Enos: Well I ain't gonna hurt cha. Just don't tell nobody I'm here. Daisy: W-why are you here? Enos: It's a long story. Some folks are trying to take me away and I ain't about to let 'em. Daisy: They can't do that can they? Enos: I hope not...You got any food? Daisy: I uh...I kin get cha some. Enos: I'd sure 'preciate it. This yours? He holds up her diary and she turns a darker shade of red. Enos: I didn't read it or nothin'. I was just usin' it as a pillow. He hands it to her and she climbs down. She writes in it before sneaking up some of the breakfast leftovers. Dear Diary, You'll never believe this... CUE JULIEDUKE

Balladeer: Well, everyone went about their day as usual, with an evening round of drinks at the Boar's Nest. Luke: So they're not back yet? Rosco: Nope. Boss: Ain't seen 'em. Bo: You think they found 'em? Cooter: We're about to find out. Daisy swings the door open and storms in. Daisy: BO AND LUKE DUKE! Luke: <grins> She found it. Daisy: WHAT IN THE WORLD DID YOU DO TO MY BEDROOM!? WHERE IS ALL MY STUFF!? Bo: Where do you think? Daisy: <gasping> You mean...all my stuff is...? Cooter: Well...what's in your bedroom, if it isn't your stuff. Daisy: I opened up my closet and found nothing but flannel shirts and police uniforms. And there ain't nothing in my dresser but shorts and long johns! And since when do I keep pictures of myself everywhere? Luke: Doesn't sound like your room at all... Daisy: Do you mean to tell me....? Just then, Enos comes into the Boar's Nest, red in the face. Enos: Ding dang it you two Dukes play dirty now! Cooter: Oh come on...I bet you like the improvement. Enos: What am I gonna do with frilly curtains, pink flowers everywhere, and a closet full of stuff I ain't ever gonna fit into? Luke: Oh come on. Cooter: You didn't check the drawers did ya? Enos: After seeing what was in my closet, I wasn't about to open them drawers... Daisy: You switched our bedrooms? Bo: Yes ma'am we did. Luke: And everything in them. Enos: <raises eyebrows> Everything? Cletus: Everything. Enos: Possum on a gumbush... Daisy: Luke...this has got to be...one of the craziest stunts you ever... Luke: Hey, what else are we gonna do? It's April Fool's Day. Daisy: I suppose. Enos: Well, let's go Daisy. Daisy: All right. Rosco: Wait a minute...where've you two been all day? Daisy and Enos look at each other, and then back at everyone else. Enos: We just went over to Chicamahonny and got married. Daisy: Bye! With that, Enos puts his arm around Daisy's waist and they both walk out. Everyone else looks at each other. Luke: Do you really think they did?

<Based on a true story> Balladeer: Well, it's April 1st and ya'll know what that means...Payday...also a good day for some good ol' practical jokes. Bo and Luke are driving the pickup. Bo: Cousin this has got to be one of your best ideas yet. Luke: Yep. Soon as we have the go ahead from Rosco. Balladeer: Now in case ya'll are wondering why the boys ain't driving the General, well it's because they need the truck to do this job right. And in case you're wondering what Rosco has to do with this, that's because Boss and Rosco are the official diversion. The Duke boys listen in on the police channel. Rosco: (over CB) Enos? You got your ears on come on? Enos: Right here Sheriff. Rosco: I need you to meet me at the Boar's Nest for a meetin' with the Boss. Enos: I'm on my way. Bo: That's our cue. Luke: Hit it. Bo and Luke drive home to the farm and load up the truck. After an hour or so, they drive the truck over to the boarding house, where they meet up with Cooter and Cletus. Luke: Ya'll have any trouble? Cooter: Nope. Doesn't even lock his doors. Cletus: He's too trustworthy. Cooter: The gun safe was heavy though. Bo: Well we'll just take this stuff back to the farm and let you have all this. With that, Bo and Luke take Cooter's truck back to the farm and unload it. By lunchtime, the task is completed, and they all meet back at the Boar's Nest for lunch. Bo: You think it'll work? Luke: It's the best prank ever. Cooter: Shhhh. There's Boss. Boss: (coming out of office) All right then Rosco. You and Enos get on that first thing next week. Rosco: (peering over at Bo and Luke) Yes sir. Luke: <winks at Rosco> Mission accomplished. Rosco: Now Enos, there ain't much else to do 'til next week so, go ahead and take the rest of the day off. Enos: Possum on a gumbush sheriff! Really? Rosco: Yeah really. Now go on, git on home. Gkuh Gkuh. But Enos goes over to the bar and starts talking to Daisy. Daisy: The rest of the day off. What are you gonna do with all that time sugar? Enos: Well...I wish I could spend it with you... Daisy: Well you just wait right here. Daisy touches his cheek and walks over to Boss. After some shuck and jive, she also gets the rest of the afternoon off. Daisy: All set Enos. Enos: Hot dang! The two of them leave together as Rosco and Boss go over to the boys. Rosco: Doh. I didn't think that'd happen. Luke: Don't worry about it. They'll both go home eventually. Bo: Yeah. Since when does Enos bring Daisy home late? Boss: That's why I wasn't too worried. They might've been suspicious if I didn't let her shuck and jive me into giving her an afternoon off too. Cooter: Think Enos suspects anything? Rosco: That dipstick? Course not. Cletus: Even if he did...I don't think he'd suspect to go home and find Daisy's bedroom instead of his. They all laugh and have a round of drinks.

Luke: I can understand you not wanting to go to Washington...but why not invite the president to come here? Uncle Jesse: Well he'd probably bring his family with him. We only got five plates and three of 'em are chipped.

Cherry and Lily were tearing back down the road to the farm. Cherry: Do you think he'll be able to do it? Lily: Would I have made that bet if I thought he could? There's no way... Cherry: I dunno. His dad is a whiz of a mechanic and taught him everything he knows. Lily: But his dad ain't allowed to help him. Cherry: I don't think T.J.'ll need it. You've given him plenty of incentive... Lily: I will say though...I didn't think he'd ask for a date... Cherry: <giggles> Make ya kind of wish he wins don't it? Lily: <makes a face> Yuck! I better win this bet. And he's gonna have to take a bath when I do. Cherry: But don't you see? You win either way. Lily: I don't see how. Cherry: Either you get him to take a bath...or you get a free dinner and a car. Lily: AND a car? Why would he let me have the car? Cherry: Because T.J. don't like driving cars. He likes bikes...AND he likes you. Lily gagged and Cherry laughed as they drove off. In the meantime, T.J. had radioed his dad to come out with the towtruck. Cooter: Well I'll be. I always wondered if this thing was still here. T.J.: So you knew it was here? Who's was it? Cooter: This here car, may it rest in peace, was Daisy's faithful little 1975 Plymouth Roadrunner. T.J.: This belonged to Lily's mom? Cooter: The very same. T.J.: Looks like the brakes needed work. Cooter: Oh it weren't the brakes. Ol' Bo and Luke ran it off this here cliff when the accelerator got stuck. Miss Daisy didn't take to kindly to that...went after them with a frying pan. T.J.: I can picture that. Cooter: You think you can pull it off though? T.J.: For a date with Lily...I think I can do it. Cooter: And you said you had no time for girls... T.J.: Oh shut up. Cooter: I dunno. Maybe I oughta warn the sheriff about you... T.J.: I'd be more worried about her. I saw what she did to Louie...

<FLASHBACK TO 1975> A rugged young man gets off the bus at the corner and looks around. His old hometown looks about the same, but never as beautiful. Neither has his family. Jesse: Welcome home Luke. Luke embraces his dear Uncle Jesse. He'd missed the old man so much when he was overseas in Vietnam. He then turns to the lovely lady with him. Luke: And who is this pretty lady? Daisy: Oh Luke you silly! It's just me! Luke: You've done grown up on me. Daisy also gives him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Luke: Now where's that no account cousin of mine? Daisy: He's bringing your welcome home present. Just then, a dark blue Thunderbird tears around the corner and screeches to a halt. A young man laughs and walks out of it. Bo: Well Luke? What do ya think? Luke: What? This is mine? Jesse: Well? What d'ya think I was gonna let you drive? You and Bo can share this one. Bo: We got a great deal on it yesterday. Luke: Wow... It was Luke's first car ever. He didn't know Cooter would borrow it and wreck it years later. He didn't know that this car would never be remembered, as the one that came after it was. But at this moment, it was the most beautiful car he'd ever seen.

Luke smiles to himself on the ride home, but Enos still seems slightly nervous. Luke: What is it? Enos: I don't know...I just hope nothing bad happens... Luke: How could anything bad happen? Enos: I just got a bad feeling about this...you turning him in... Luke: Look Enos, there's no way he can pin this on you. Enos: That's not what I'm worried about... Luke cannot for the life of him think of what Enos is talking about. The next day, Rufus is not at school and Luke is feeling pretty good about himself. But the day after that, neither Rufus nor Enos show up. Luke thinks little of this until he goes home. Luke is gathering some eggs from the barn when a pile of hay hisses at him. Luke: What? Enos: Psst! Under here. Luke: Enos? Where've you been? Why weren't you at school? Enos: Keep it down will ya? I don't want them to find me. Luke: Who? Luke crouches down and lets Enos whisper. Enos: Ain't you ever wondered why I didn't turn Rufus in before? Luke: Well...yeah? Enos: Them people...there's people here now and they're trying again. Luke: What people? Enos: <quietly> The one's trying to take us away from Pa. Balladeer: Well, I knew there had to be a twist in here somewhere. CUE KITTY

The race concluded at the bottom of the Kissin' Cliff, ending in a dead tie. T.J.: <taking off helmet> Whoooeeee! That's some sweet car! Cherry: <climbing out window> I know. Lily: <falling out other window> Tell me again why these doors won't open... Cherry: It's a racecar. All racecars have doors welded shut. The General Lee's like that too. T.J.: Hey! What's that over there? The three of them wander over to the bottom of the cliff, where there's a pile of rubble. Only T.J. is able to make out what it is. T.J.: Woah! It's a car! Cherry: Or used to be. Lily: What happened to it? Someone drive it off a cliff? Cherry: Sure looks that way. T.J.: Wouldn't surprise me. Lily: Wait a minute...I think I remember Dad saying something about a car going off a cliff...what was it? Cherry: Bet your brother would know. Lily: He would...he believes all those stories. T.J.: And you don't? Lily: Oh there's gotta be some truth to them. Dad never lies. But I'm sure he exaggerates quite a bit. T.J.: I dunno about that. Cherry: You don't know Hazzard County. Lily ignores them and looks around at the remains of the car. T.J. also looks at it and blows a low whistle. T.J.: You know...I'll bet this is an old Plymouth Roadrunner. 75 or 76 maybe... Lily: <sarcastic> Oh sure...and I bet you could fix it up too right? T.J.: <grinning> If I really wanted to. Lily: <laughs> Are you kidding? Look at this thing! It was driven over a cliff! There's no way anybody'd ever be able to fix it. T.J. leans over and looks her in the eyes. T.J.: <raising eyebrows> Wanna bet?

Lily could not be more excited. Lily: A CAR!? You got a car for your birthday? Cherry: Isn't it the coolest!? Come on! Enos sighed as he sat by his post. Although it was still called the local speed trap, he was a lot more fair about who he pulled over than Rosco had been. But there was no question about how fast that black car was going. Enos did a double take and then sped after it. Lily: Cherry! That's my dad! Cherry: Yeah, isn't it great? Lily: CHERRY ARE YOU INSANE? Cherry: Oh all right. Cherry pulled over for him and got her first ever speeding ticket. Enos: Welcome to the real world Duke girl. Now slow it down...especially when you got my daughter in there with ya. Lily: Daaaaaaaad! Enos: Don't you give me that. After the sheriff left, Cherry resumed enjoying her car, but at a slower speed. Cherry: You know, you should have a car too. Then we could race. Lily: You have got to be kidding me. I can't afford to get a car and Dad would have my hide if he caught me racing. Cherry: I guess I'll have to race him then. Lily looked over and saw T.J. on his motorcycle. Lily: Um...Cherry?...You just got a ticket... But then T.J. sped ahead of them and Cherry stepped on the accelerator. Lily: <clinging to her seat> Some people never learn.

The next day, Bo squirms on the bus due to a sore bottom and Daisy doesn't feel sorry for him one bit. Cooter can sympathize though, as he got his whipping when he got home. Luke on the other hand, is too busy hiding the camera and making out a plan. Being small was helping for once. Luke managed to duck into corners and behind lockers whenever Rufus was going by. Then, he snapped pictures of the bully taking a 6th grader's lunch money, pushing a 7th grader down in the hall, tripping a teacher and running away, and finally, pulling the fire alarm. While he stood outside with the other kids, Luke spotted Rufus dragging Enos off into the woods. Concerned about his friend, Luke snuck away and followed them. Rufus was holding Enos a foot off the ground by the straps of his overalls. Rufus: And not a word pipsqueek. You hear me? Enos: I won't say nothin'. Rufus: Not to the teachers, or the principal... Enos: Not to nobody... Rufus: And especially not to Pa. Enos: I won't. Rufus: Good...cuz you know what'll happen to ya if you do... Enos: I know. Rufus: Then keep your big mouth shut. Enos nodded and Rufus threw him to the ground. Luke managed to snap a picture of Rufus kicking his brother and then ducked down as Rufus went back towards the crowds outside the school. Luke: Enos! Are you okay? Enos: Luke? What are you doing here? Luke: I saw your brother draggin' you off and... Enos: <getting up> Now you listen Luke Duke! Don't you tell nobody what you heard or saw okay? Luke: I won't. Enos: <sighs> Rufus is on his last thread. If he gets into any more trouble... Luke let Enos walk back to the building by himself, not wanting Rufus to see them together. Luke: I'm turning these in, but I don't want Rufus to think Enos did it. After school, Luke got off the bus at the drug store and used his pocket money to develop the pictures and buy and plain brown envelope. The next week, he left for school early, got the pictures from the drugstore, put them in the envelope, and slid it under the door of the principal's office. Luke: That'll get him...and no one can prove I did it.

It takes a lot to make Amanda cry, but Jam got teary eyed in Ghost of the General Lee. Episodes that came close include that one and also that part of Granny Annie, as well as Enos Strate to the Top when Enos leaves and Enos and Daisy's Wedding (which has crying moments in it, but the end just makes us mad!) Jam thinks James Best and Sonny Shroyer should have gotten Emmys for the scene by the pond in Ghost of the General Lee. It was just too good.

And the purpose of the episode was to give Enos his own series, which several of us are trying to get released on DVD. Supposedly, he was in California for a year or so (2 seasons of Dukes) and then came back.

Balladeer: Yes sir, even at a young age, them Dukes knew the power of good old fashioned HARD evidence. Jesse: A picture's worth a thousand words Bo. Now what do you and Cooter have to say for yourselves. Bo and Cooter: We're sorry we read your diary. Jesse: And are ya ever gonna do it again? Bo: Nope. Cooter: No sir. Jesse: Good. Now you run on home Cooter. Bo's got an appointment with me in the woodshed. Bo cringes as Cooter runs off. Daisy: Maybe now he'll learn his lesson. Luke: Hope so. Can I borrow that camera? Daisy: What? I guess so. But don't break it. Luke: No...I won't. You just gave me a really good idea. Ballladeer: Yes sir. Daisy snapping that picture sure gave Luke a good idea about how to take care of that bully. I just hope it works.

Went ahead and registered (since it's free and all) and voted for Enos to be released. Hopefully that'll help convince the powers that be.

Enos was back at school the next day, but Luke only knew this from seeing the other boy on the bus, as he promptly kept himself invisible the rest of the time. Luke also attempted this tactic of disappearing whenever Rufus was around and for the most part, it worked. He managed to make it through one day without getting beat up. As for Bo and Cooter, they weren't so lucky. Daisy: BO DUKE! IF I EVER CATCH YOU I'M GONNA KNOCK YOUR TEETH OUT! Bo: <hiding in a tree> Sheesh. It's just a diary. Cooter: Well...we did break the lock. Bo: I know...we didn't even find out all that much. Cooter: Yeah, just that she's got a huge crush on that Enos fella with the missing teeth. Bo: I sure would like to know what she sees in him. Cooter: You know...maybe if you got down and let her knock some of your teeth out, a pretty girl'd get a crush on you. Bo: I dunno...you think it'd be worth it? Daisy stormed back into the house and went to her room, where the broken lock lay on the bed next to the open diary. She sighs and writes in it. Dear Diary, Oh shoot. They know now and I'll bet they'll tell him. And he's probably gonna think I'm an ugly little kid. But he's so cute with missing teeth. I bet he's a good kisser too, but then I wouldn't know. Nobody'd ever kiss me. The other girls don't know why I like him, they think he's dumb and smelly. He ain't smelly. Now Cooter...HE'S smelly. And Enos ain't dumb either...I don't think. He's friends with Luke and Luke is smart. But it ain't no use anyhow. Bo's gonna tell him I like him and Enos'll just laugh at me now. Phooey.
