Prayer Is a Last Resort: Except Daisy's heart-wrenching prayer to God – when it seems that Uncle Jesse will never regain his sight – is a sign of the Duke family's strong faith in Christ and trusting Him about Jesse's recovery.
Tearjerker: The revelation that Jesse may never regain his eyesight, particularly Daisy's reaction.
Temporary Blindness: The concussion Jesse suffers following the bank robbery causes him to temporarily lose his sight. Not to fear: all is well by episode's end.
Vehicular Sabotage: At one point, the villains do manage to kidnap the blinded Uncle Jesse, but — while the bad guys leave the shack where they are holding Jesse prisoner — the wily Duke patriarch gets away ... and then temporarily sabotages the bad guys' car by cutting the fan belt. (The bad guys do manage to get their car re-started, but Jesse has bought enough time to get to Coy and Vance.)
You Wouldn't Hit A Guy Who's Blind: What Daisy, Coy and Vance fear will happen if the bad guys find Jesse before he gets to Coy and Vance ... and they know the outcome would be incredibly brutal.
