I didn't get to, but one of my students met Cooter at the autoshow in Kansas City and got an autographed picture for me. We got to see three of the Monkees at a concert several years ago, but didn't get to meet them. We've also seen Michael W. Smith in concert and Amanda saw Audio Adrenaline in concert and the lead singer signed her hat. That's about it.

Needless to say, Turk had to go back to California by himself. "I knew this would happen," he said, as we were seeing him off at the airport. "Sorry," said Enos. "That's okay," said Turk. "Maybe now I can get a partner who knows how to drive." "Turk," said Enos. "Hush." Enos held me close as we saw the plane take off. "Enos," I said. "I'm awfully glad you decided to stay." "Me too," he said. "It's about time I stopped trying to run off from who I really am." "And who are you?" "A down home country deputy," Enos grinned. "Who's madly in love with a down home country girl." "Well Enos," I giggled. "I think that down home country girl's in love with him too." "Enough to marry him?" he asked, playing with my fingers and slipping something on one of them. "You bet!" Balladeer: Now I figured those two'd get hitched by the end of this thing. Didn't you?

I nearly burst out crying when he said my name. I threw my arms around him. "Oh Enos," I cried. "Oh Daisy," he said, holding me. "I don't what you're doing here, but I sure am glad to see you. I just had the weirdest dream..." "Don't you worry about a thing Enos," I said, looking into his eyes. "Everything's gonna be fine." With that, I gave him a kiss. I got up and let Turk take over. "Hey Turk," said Enos. "What happened? How'd Daisy get here so fast?" "Easy Enos," said Turk. "It's a long story." We all left Turk to explain everything to Enos. I went back to work, even though I could've taken the rest of the day off. I was about to get ready to close up when Turk and Enos came in. "It's okay Daisy," said Turk. "He remembers everything." "Everything?" I asked. "Unfortunatly," said Enos. "Daisy I...I didn't mean it..." "Oh Enos," I laughed. "I know you didn't. You just went a little...crazy...that's all." "It's no excuse," said Enos, not looking at me. "I had no right to steal those cars...or try to drink beer...or come onto you like that..." "Enos look at me," I said, lifting his face. He did with those big puppy dog eyes of his that make me want to melt. "I gotta confess," I said, whispering. "Part of me really enjoyed it." "You did?" Enos asked, raising his eyebrows. "Not that part of me didn't want to slap you," I said. "But Enos, you'd never kissed me like that before." "I guess I could never bring myself to," he said, looking down again. "I bet you could now," I said slyly. Enos turned red and was fighting a grin, but I didn't let him go. Finally, he gave in and kissed me. And this time, it was a LOT more passionate than even the last one.

Rosco, Cletus and Turk walked Enos to the front jail cell and locked him in. Enos looked like he was in a trance, staring straight ahead with his mouth open. "Oh Enos," I sighed, feeling sorry for him. "I think he's in shock," said Turk. Enos sat there as a multitude of pictures, colors, and words came swimming into his head all at once. Enos you sly devil, why didn't you tell me you were coming home?...Now Enos you can tell me. Any change?...Enos you dipstick!...Never mind the folk songs dodo!...It's my turn to drive!...You still working out with barbells?...Enos, just forget it all right? Forget it...They got my keys and your car!...It's not our fault you're on the wrong side...I think deep down you want to fight the system just as badly as we do...Enos, ain't nothing gonna happen to either of us... Enos started muttering things under his breath. Things he used to say. You left 'em in yours Sherriff...Now Bo, you and Luke better straighten up now or I'm gonna tell Uncle Jesse on ya'll...Dang it Cooter, I'm gonna hafta give you a ticket for littering now...Tweedledum is running peanut dooleys in that naked baby ice cream truck!...They're the best thing since catfish and hush puppies...You want that pie a'la mode?...Can I go home and take a nap now?...I ain't ever disappointed to see you Daisy... "I think he's rememberin'," said Rosco. "Enos?" I asked. Rosco opened the jail so I could sit next to him. Enos looked at me. "Possum on a gumbush," he said. "Enos?" I asked. "Do you remember me?" He blinked a couple of times and looked at me again. "Daisy?" he asked. "Is that you Daisy?"

Well, Cooter called it. Enos didn't get very far in that tow truck with Rosco's patrol car still attached to it. He saw a white convertible parked at the Boar's Nest and thought it looked appealing. "Wow," he said. "Now this is a lot better." He raced off as Boss and his driver ran out of the office. "ROSCO!" Boss yelled. "SOME BLANG IDIOT JUST STOLE MY CAR!" "I know!" Rosco yelled from the back of my Jeep as we drove up. "He done just took mine and Cooter's truck at the same time." "Well get after him you dodo!" Boss jumped in Cletus's car with Turk. Bo and Luke picked up on the situtation pretty quick and went after the white caddie. Rosco and Cooter were with me and decided to leave the tow truck at the Boar's Nest. "At the rate he's going," said Cooter. "I don't think he'll take the same car twice." "We need a plan," said Rosco. "Don't use the police channel," I said, picking up the CB. "I'll bet he's been listening to it." "Hey you're right," said Cooter, taking it. "Hey ya'll. Let's listen to some rock and roll." Bo and Luke knew that this was the signal for channel 8. We told Rosco this and he sent a separate message to Cletus. "The streetcar is going up the hill." "What kind of message is that?" Cooter asked. "Cletus knows what it means," said Rosco. "I've been trying out a new code." After a few minutes, Cletus was able to remember that "streetcar" was equal to 5 and "hill" was equal to 3. He added 5 and 3 together and switched to channnel 8. Turk thought it was unnessisarily complicated. Enos of course, had no idea what any of that meant and just kept going, which was the whole idea. We were able to have Bo and Luke cut him off on the left fork, while Cletus came in from the north, and us from behind. Boss was madder than a hornet when all of us ran into his car from different directions, but I was more worried about Enos. "My car!" Boss yelled. "My beautiful car!" "Enos," I cried. "Are you okay?" "You people are crazy!" Enos was yelling as Cletus handcuffed him. "You're the one who's lost it!" said Turk. "Get him back to the jail," said Rosco. "Lock him up before he can do anymore damage." "My car!" Boss wimpered. "Oh you hush," said Luke. "Let's go." We managed to get Enos back to the jailhouse. I pulled up as Cletus and Rosco were dragging him out of Cletus's car, but Enos was putting up a pretty good fight. "I ain't done nothin'!" he yelled. "That's there is my car! I know it." "He done remembered his car once we got him in there," Rosco told me. "Well it did used to be his," said Cletus. "Well see if he remembers this," I said. "I think he needs a shower..." "Oooh oooh," said Rosco. "Like the one's he used to take?" "Exactly," I said. "This ol' boy needs some cooling off." Bo, Luke, Turk, and Cooter had to come in and help Rosco and Cletus with Enos, who was still pretty strong and didn't know what was going on. They picked him up and carried him into the back locker room of the station. I stood outside with Boss and heard a lot of yelling and squealing as Uncle Jesse came in. "What in tarnation...?" Uncle Jesse asked. "He's taking a shower," I said. "A nice cold one." "Well if that don't jog something," Boss said. "Nothing will. It's about all he ever did." "I didn't think he took them that often," I said. "Oh he did," said Boss. "Every time he came back from the Boar's Nest. Cleanest man in the state." That made me giggle. Bo, Luke, and Cooter came out to join us. "They're helping him get dressed in one of his old uniforms," said Luke. "That'll probably jog something too." "But why does he need help with that?" I asked. "Well once we got him wet," said Bo. "He kind of went off into a daze." "I don't know how he was able to do that all the time," said Cooter, who was soaked. "Y'all didn't have to give me one too." "Cooter," said Uncle Jesse. "You've been needing a shower for years." "Well next time," said Cooter. "Could it at least be a hot one?"

Uncle Jesse's ridgerunner was Black Tillie and Black Tillie II while Boss Hogg drove The Grey Ghost and The Grey Ghost Jr. Both were pretty spiffy. We don't know what Enos drove in CA, only that in one episode, his partner had to see a psychiatrist about Enos's driving, so we at least know he drove a car and not a motorcycle (although we wouldn't mind seeing Enos on a Harley).

Bo rushes over to the smoking General, praying that Luke wasn't in there. Bo: LUKE! LUKE! He sees something crumpled up and burning in the backseat. Bo pulls it out and rolls it into the pond to put the fire out. Bo: Luke! You better be alive! He rolls Luke out of the pond. His cousin was burned pretty bad and isn't breathing. Bo: LUKE! Bo starts to administer CPR. Meanwhile, those hoods are celebrating losing the cops and hearing the explosion. Kate: Oh Luke. Chris: Will you stop mooning over that guy? He gone. Mark: Yeah, forget about him. We did what we had to do. Kate: I suppose. Chris: Uh oh. More fuzz. Rosco and Enos are both barrelling down the road, but pass by the crooks. Kate: They must've heard the explosion. Let's get out of here. Mark: You don't have to tell me twice.

I got in the car with Cletus during the chase. Enos was really having a good time with my Jeep. He took it cross country to get away from us. Rosco: (over CB) Cletus, get over on highway 26 in case he gets off. Cletus: Right Sherriff. I was sitting in a daze next to Cletus. I still hadn't fully recovered from Enos kissing me like that. Part of me wanted to slap him, but most of me wanted him to do it again. He hadn't ever kissed me like that before. We got on the highway and headed back to town, but didn't see Enos or my Jeep. "Hey stop by Cooter's," I said. "Bo and Luke should be back by now and they can help out." "Good idea," said Cletus. Cooter was chatting with Bo and Luke in front of the garage. Turk was making a phone call. "I know Chief," said Turk. "Don't worry...Everything is under control...I'm sure he'll be better in no time...Yes sir...Bye." "Hey Daisy," said Bo. "Where's Enos?" "I wish I knew," said Daisy. "He's gone and taken my car and Rosco's chasing him cross country." "What again?" Turk asked. "He took Jesse's truck earlier," said Cletus, with a slight laugh. "If I didn't know better, I'd think he was trying to figure out which one's his." "Well come on," said Luke. "We better go help ol' Rosco." Bo and Luke took off in the General and Cooter and Turk took the towtruck. As Cletus and I were leading the way, Rosco came on the CB. Rosco: (over CB) This is Sherriff Rosco P. Coltrane calling Cooter Davenport. Cooter: Crazy Cooter comin' atcha. Rosco: I done gone into the pond again. That dipstick made a sharp curve and I wasn't able to stop. I moaned as we all went out to Hazzard pond. Cooter towed Rosco's car out while the rest of us drove around to see if there were any signs of Enos. "Hey," I called. "I see my Jeep." Cletus stopped and let me out. I ran over and found my Jeep in a cluster of trees. "Well," I said. "At least he didn't scratch it. And he left the keys..." Just then I heard a yell, a motor, and a high pitched laugh. "Oh no," I said. "Don't tell me..." "ENOS!" Cooter yelled out. "NOW YOU'VE DONE GONE TOO FAR!" "He took your truck?" I asked. "He done took my truck!" Cooter whined. "A man's truck is his castle!" "Well my Jeep was okay," I said. "Maybe he'll leave your truck behind too." "Yeah," said Cooter. "When he steals what...Boss's caddie?" Balladeer: You know, at the rate ol' Enos is going, I wouldn't be surprised.

You have to understand, Amanda is a writer/English teacher and she always does stuff like this. Jam is the official critic. Anything Jam says is good or makes Jam laugh is what gets posted. It was actually Jam who said, "This has been Amanda's poetry corner..." and Amanda ran off with it. We're gonna have to start a thread just for poetry in the fanfiction section now.

<Back to present> Cooter pulled up at the garage and found his son sulking by the gas pumps. "Hey there boy," he said. "How was your first day?" "I got a detention." "That bad huh?" "Dad," T.J. said. "What do you do when someone you know is hanging out with someone rotten, but they won't believe you when you tell 'em so?" "Hmmm," said Cooter. "Well...If it's someone I really care about, I keep warning 'em." "And when they won't listen?" "Well," said Cooter shrugging. "Sometime ya gotta let yer friends learn stuff the hard way." "But Dad," T.J. protested. "I don't want her to learn the hard way! She's gotta know now!" "Oh so it's a girl," Cooter grinned. T.J. cursed under his breath. "Don't think I didn't hear that," said his dad. "Now you listen to me. If this girl is the one I think she is, I wouldn't worry." "Why?" "Cuz her dad would make life downright miserable for anyone messing with his daughter," said Cooter. "Believe me. I'd be more worried about Louie." "How'd you know it was Louie?" "Well I know for sure now," Cooter grinned. "But believe me...The Sherriff ain't gonna stand by and let Lily be taken advantage of." "I guess not," said T.J. "I just wish she'd listen to me." "Give her time," said Cooter. "She's still getting used to being here." "She certainly warmed up to Louie fast enough." "Course I think somebody's a little jealous." "I AM NOT!" "Sure kid," said Cooter. "Sure y'ain't." "Hey," said T.J. "How'd you know I was talking about Lily?" "Just cuz I'm old don't mean I'm blind boy," Cooter laughed. "I seen the way you look at that girl. Yessir...that's the same look ol' Enos used to have whenever Daisy went by..." Cooter strolled into the garage to get back to work, leaving T.J. with his own thoughts. "I'm not jealous," he said to himself. "I just don't want to see Louie do to her what he's done to other girls. Maybe I should warn her dad..."

You're supposed to say, "I do, I like them Sam I Am." And I would eat them in a jail...even sitting on a pail I'd eat them in the General Lee...they are so good, so good you see... And I would eat them watching Dukes...especially if they're showing Luke I would eat them at the Boar's Nest...even if I'm under arrest... I do so like green eggs and ham...I like them cuz BOSS HOGG I AM! This has been Jamanda's random poetry corner. Tune in next week to hear our Duke's version of "I'm a Little Teapot."

Kate: What do we do? Someone's coming! Chris: Come on. We gotta get out of here. The three of them get into to chevy and speed off. Bo sees them leaving. Bo: Hey! Someone's leaving! Cletus: I'll go after them! You keep looking for Luke in case he's here. The police car takes off after the chevy. Chris: Uh oh. Fuzz. Mark: Well lose 'em! If they figure out we planted that dynamite in that car, they'll throw us under the jail. Kate: I still don't see why we had to do that to him...he was such a nice guy... Mark: You know very well why...do you want your cut or not? Kate: Oh all right, but you better lose those cops. I never agreed to jail time. Meanwhile, back at the lake, Bo finds Luke's shirt. Bo: Oh no. LUKE! WHERE ARE YOU?! <close up of the stick of dynamite, burning down in the General Lee> Balladeer: Ya'll keep watching and tell me what happens. I can't look.

We've discussed this in other forums. "Strange Visitor to Hazzard" was certainly our vote. The first time we watched it, the first thing I thought was "Oh, we must be getting to the last episode soon. Then TNN will start over from season 1. That's good. I'd like to see the pilot episode again." It was a no brainer. I don't know about some of the comments on that website though. I wonder if some of those people are watching the same show.

Balladeer: Well, Enos was tearing down the road like a bat out of...well you get my point...and he was lovin' every minute of it. "Enos you dipstick!" Rosco yelled into the CB. "What do you think you're doing? Pull it over before you hurt somebody!" "You ain't the boss of me," Enos radioed back. "And neither is anybody else! Ha!" "Oh he's asking for it Flash," Rosco mumbled. "He's done gone insubordinate!" Flash barked. "That's right," said Rosco, picking up the CB again. "This is Sherriff Rosco P. Coltrane calling deputy Cletus Hogg, you got your ears on lugnut?" "Right here Rosco." "I'm following a stolen vehicle down Old Mill Road. I want you to cut him off at the junction." Balladeer: What Rosco don't know is that Enos somehow knew to switch his CB to the police frequency, and found out that another lawman was about to cut him off. "Well, we'll just see about that," Enos grinned. Enos turns off right before the junction and Rosco and Cletus turn sideways and crash into each other. "See you later suckers!" Enos called out the window. "Doh!" Rosco yelled. "Now he's gone too far. He done scuffed my vehicle on purpose!" "Who did?" Cletus asked. "THAT DURN DIPSTICK!" "You mean that's Enos?" "No," said Rosco in a sarcastic tone. "It's the queen of Sheba. Of course it's Enos. He don't know who he is so he's done turned into some kind of..." "Idiot?" "Worse than that." "A theif?" "Right," said Rosco. "Now I'm gonna follow him and you try to cut him off again." "Right." Enos, seeing that he lost Rosco, turns into the Boar's Nest. I was a bit surprised to see him. "Enos!" I scolded. "What are you doing in here?" "I came to see you pretty lady," he said, putting his arms around my waist. "Well you're supposed to be back at the farm with Uncle Jesse." "But he don't let me do anything..." "Oh Enos," I sighed. "You're acting like a two-year-old." "Oh really?" "Yes!" "Well, would a two-year-old do this?" With that, he pulled me forward and kissed me. I didn't notice at the time, but he was also pulling my keys out of my back pocket. I was taken aback at first, then I pushed him away. "What has gotten into you!?" I gasped, not sure weather to slap him or not. "A whole lotta lovin' baby!" Just then, Rosco and Cletus burst in. "There he is!" Rosco yelled. "Freeeeeze!" "Uh oh," Enos said. "Gotta go!" Enos escaped out the back door as Rosco and Cletus chased him. He jumped into my Jeep and took off again. "What?" Rosco said. "He done switched vehicles!" "MY CAR!" I yelled. "Was that really Enos?" Cletus asked. "ROSCO YOU GET MY CAR BACK!" I screamed. "I'm gone Daisy," Rosco said. Rosco and Cletus took off after Enos again. "Flash," Rosco said. "I'm startin' to get a terrible headache." Flash barked. Balladeer: I agree with both of them. I'm gettin' a headache just watching this.

At work, someone asked me what the appeal was of Dukes of Hazzard. A male coworker immediately said, "Daisy." I looked across at a female coworker and fellow Duke's fan and she immediately said, "Bo! He is so hot!"

Balladeer: So we got those suspicious characters on their way to Lover's Rock in that green chevy, followed by Bo in Daisy's Jeep, followed by Layla and Cletus in a police car. Ya'll follow?

Meanwhile, Bo shows up at the Boar's Nest. Daisy: Did you find them? Bo: Nope. Of course they may not want to be found. Daisy: Well if that's the case, where would you go if you were with a girl and didn't want to be found? Bo: (smacks himself in the head) Of course! Why didn't I think of that! Man: Excuse me...are you the one who's been looking for Miss Kate? Bo: Uh, yes sir. She's with my cousin Luke...probably down by Lover's Rock off of Willow Road. Man: Thank you for your help. We'll just meet them down there. Bo: Um...okay. Be sure to remind Luke that he was gonna pick up a new fan belt for the truck on the way home. Man: Right. The man and a couple of other people leave the Boar's Nest. Daisy: Bo, Luke wasn't going to pick up anything. Bo: I know. That's just to remind Luke that we still exist and not to forget to drop by. Daisy: That's what I thought. Bo: Now Daisy, if it was just Kate I wouldn't worry too much...but I didn't like the looks of them other fellers at all. Daisy: Bo, you're not... Bo: I'm tempted to tail them. Daisy: (hands him keys) Here...use my Jeep...and be careful. Bo: (takes keys) I will Daisy. Kate's friends leave in an old green chevy. Bo follows in the Jeep. Cue Kitty

It's only one of the greatest juvenile fiction novels ever!!!! Of course, being an English teacher makes one somewhat biased. The movie was also really good and followed the book well.

Do you like green eggs and ham?

<FLASHBACK TO 1970> Everyone was staring as the new freshman came into class. She wore overalls, had her hair in braided pigtails, and carried worn second-hand books. But that wasn't what everyone was snickering at. "Hey Daisy," sneered a pretty blond girl. "What'd you do? Walk into a door?" "Leave her alone Emily," said another girl. But even those trying to be nice were staring. Daisy slid into the back row and tried to hide behind a book, but it was no use. Everyone had seen her lovely black eye. It was like that all day. Emily Hogg seemed to appear everywhere, taunting her and coming up with different ways that she had hurt herself. "She stepped on a rake," said Emily. "It swung up and smacked her right in the face. Watch where you're going Daisy!" It was hard to tell where she was going between crying and trying to hide her face. Daisy did her best to ignore Emily Hogg, but it never seemed to do any good. She couldn't even escape in the girl's room. "What did happen Daisy?" Maybelle asked. "Bo and Luke were horsing around," Daisy sniffed. "One of them hit me by accident." Maybelle tried not to giggle. "Did they get it from Uncle Jesse?" "Oh yes," said Daisy. "He tanned both their hides, but I still had to come to school today. What a way to start high school!" "Oh there you are Daisy," said Emily, coming in. "I was just telling my cousin Cletus how you tripped over a pig and hit your eye on a hog trough." Maybelle tried not to giggle as Daisy rushed out in tears. She was so adamant about getting away from Emily, she ran into someone else. "I'm sorry Daisy," he said. "Are you okay?" Daisy was too busy crying and trying to hide her face to even see who it was. "Possum on a gumbush Daisy," he said. "What's wrong? Your cousin Luke told me what happened to your eye, but it can't be that bad." Daisy sniffed and looked up at him. The boy was the same age as Luke, but shorter and thinner. He also had a black eye, as well as a number of other bruises and scratches on his face and arms. But then again, he usually looked like that. "See now Daisy?" he said. "It ain't that bad. It'll clear up by tomorra if ya just put a little bit o' cold hog fat on it before ya go to bed. Best thing for shiners like that." Daisy sniffed a little more and managed to smile and the boy did too. He had a huge grin, despite the fact that two of his teeth were missing, and it made Daisy laugh. "I'm sorry Enos," Daisy giggled. "Shucks Daisy," said Enos. "As long as I kin git you ta smile again." He helped her up and picked up her books. "Is it okay if I walk you home Daisy?" he asked shyly. "Luke's at football practice and I wouldn't want you ta walk home all by yourself." "Okay Enos," said Daisy. They were about halfway to the Duke farm when they heard a lot of yelling. "What the...?" Daisy asked. "Oh not again," said Enos. "Stay here." Of course, Daisy followed him to where a large senior was intimidating a group of Junior High kids. One with blond hair was trying to stand up to him. "Bo!" Daisy gasped, running over to them. "Well what have we here?" said the senior, looking Daisy over. "Leave her alone Rufus!" Enos said, getting between them. "Butt out pipsqueek," said Rufus. "Make me." Rufus took a swing at him. Enos took the punch while yelling out at the same time. "RUN!" Daisy grabbed Bo and took off. The other kids dispersed just as quickly. Daisy glanced back only to see Rufus pummeling Enos. "You run on home," she told Bo. "But Daisy..." "Git!" she said and Bo ran off. Daisy snuck back around. She waited until the bully had jumped into a car and driven off, leaving Enos on the ground. "Oh Enos," she cried. "Why'd you do that?" "I had to," he moaned. "He was going to hurt those kids." "But..." "Daisy," said Enos, sitting up. "I don't want you to worry about me. I'm used to Rufus beating me up by now." "But it's not right," Daisy cried. "It ain't," said Enos. "But that's just how he is. And I'd rather he beat me up than a bunch of little kids who can't take it." "Oh Enos," said Daisy, helping him up. "I don't know how much more of him YOU can take." "Please don't worry about me Daisy," said Enos, trying to turn away. "I'll be okay." "Well where you going?," Daisy asked. "Ain't you gonna finish walking me home?" Enos looked at her. "Oh yeah," he grinned. "I almost forgot." He walked her back to the farm, but didn't want to stay. "I gotta go now Daisy," he said. "But Enos..." "I told you not to worry now," he said. "I'll be fine. I'll uh...see ya Daisy." "Hold oh Enos." He paused as Daisy touched his arm. Then she lightly kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks," she said. Enos blushed as Daisy ran into the farmhouse.

Uncle Jesse told me later that he had to put Enos to work doing chores to keep him from wandering off. Even then, Enos kept sneaking into my room and going through my closet. "Whoo whee," Enos said, going through some unmentionables. "I sure would like to see her in this!" "ENOS!" Uncle Jesse yelled. "HOW MANY TIMES TO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO GET OUT OF HERE! NOW GIT YOU DIPSTICK!" Uncle Jesse chased him out again when suddenly Enos stopped. "What'd you call me?" he asked. "I called you a dipstick!" Uncle Jesse scolded. "Dipstick?" Uncle Jesse noticed that Enos was starting to remember something. "Hold on," said Uncle Jesse, grabbing the CB. "Just sit down here...This is Jesse Duke calling Sherriff Rosco..." "This is Sherriff Roscoooo P. Coltrane here...What do you want Jesse?" "I got that old deputy of yours here," said Uncle Jesse. "And he seems to recall the word 'dipstick'" "Well of course he does...he IS a dipstick!...I remind of that all the time." "Well," said Uncle Jesse. "I think you ought to come over and remind him again..." Just then, Uncle Jesse heard an engine revving up. "Hey Mister!" Enos called. "I found out the problem with your truck! The gearshift was stuck in neutral!" "Enos!" Uncle Jesse yelled. "You git back here!" "Nuh uh," said Enos, putting the truck into gear. "I'm gonna find that good lookin' girl. Ha ha!" With that, Enos was off again. "ENOS!" Uncle Jesse called after him. "Oh, that boy without his memory is worse than Bo and Luke put together! And that's saying something!" "Jesse?" Rosco said over the CB. "Did he just do what it sounds like he just did?" "Rosco," said Jesse, into the CB. "I'd like to report a stolen truck...you know what it looks like...Oh, and when you find him...LOCK HIM UP AND MAKE SURE HE DON'T GO NOWHERES!" "That's a BIG 10-4 Jesse," said Rosco. "Which way'd he go?"

The next day, Luke is wide awake and happy to be with Kate. Uncle Jesse wants her to have breakfast with them, but she politely turns him down. Kate: I'm meeting up with a friend of mine, if Luke would be so kind as to drive me out there. Luke: Sure thing, honey bun. Kate: It's been a real pleasure meeting all of you. Luke: Where you meeting your friend? Kate: At the Boar's Nest. Luke: Ah, you should've said something. We could've hitched a ride with Daisy. Kate: (flirting) Exactly why I didn't. I mean, she's nice and all but...three's a crowd. Luke: True...but you are meeting up with a friend...who's gonna make three. Kate: Yes, but that really won't be for a while. I thought maybe the two of us could be alone for a bit. Luke: You done read my mind. Luke and Kate take off in the General as Bo watches from the window. Bo: I dunno Uncle Jesse. Jesse: You don't know what? Bo: I'm not sure what I don't know...but I'm sure I don't know something. Jesse: Bo (sarcastic)...sometimes you make a lot of sense. Bo: <laughs> I guess you're right. Maybe I am getting all worried for nothing. Bo gets started on some morning chores. While he's out chopping wood, Daisy comes in over the CB in the pickup. Daisy: Bo and Luke? Miss Kate? Any of you out there? Bo: This is Bo Daisy. Daisy: There's a couple of people here looking for Kate, but she ain't here yet. Are they still out at the farm? Bo: No. They left about...an hour ago. Daisy: I've been trying to reach Luke, but I ain't getting anything. Bo: Don't you worry. I'll try to find them. Balladeer: You know, I sure wish I was as confident as ol' Bo is about finding Luke.

Luke really is sleepy, so he scoots over and lets Kate drive the General to the farm. The only thing is, he falls dead asleep before he can tell her exactly how to get there. Kate: Oh I hope this is it. She gets out of the car and knocks on the door. Uncle Jesse answers it. Kate: Mr. Duke? Jesse: Yeah? Kate: Um, you don't know me but...well I was with your nephew and he's gone and fallen asleep. Jesse: Oh well...thanks for bringing him home. There's Bo and Daisy now. Daisy and Bo drive up and Bo wakes up Luke and takes him inside while Daisy offers to give Kate a ride home. "Well I'd appreciate it," said Kate. "I actually just need a ride to the hotel. I don't really have a place to stay in town." "Well if you need a place to stay," said Daisy. "We can put you up. You can share my room." "Oh could I?" Kate asked. "If it's okay with Uncle Jesse," Daisy said. "Well sure," said Uncle Jesse. "As long as Luke don't start sleepwalkin'." "I just need to make a phone call," said Kate. "I have some friends meeting me tomorrow and I need to let them know I'm here." "Sure," said Uncle Jesse. "Now I'm gonna get to bed. 'Night girls." Uncle Jesse goes to bed as Daisy goes to prepare her room for their guest. Kate smiles and dials the phone. Balladeer: I don't know about you, but I'd sure like to know who she's calling.

"So how was Lily's day?" Daisy asked after she got Tommy to go play in the backyard with Lucas. "Bad," said Enos. "She didn't want to talk about it." "How bad?" "Remember your first day of high school?" "That bad?" "I think so." "I don't believe it," said Daisy. "I don't think anybody's first day could be as bad as that." "She's got a lot of you in her Daisy," said her husband. "I wouldn't be surprised." "She's your daughter too," said Daisy, stroking his hair. "I know," said Enos, sighing. "I just...I just don't understand teenage girls you know? I ain't ever had to deal with this before." "Sure you did," said Daisy. "You were just a teenage boy at the time." She put her arms around him and he had to smile.
