Go To

Tropes present in this episode:

  • Jerkass: The purest of the pure throughout the whole series — Emerson Craig.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Uncle Jesse lectures that asshole Emerson Craig for his attitude toward farmers. Later, when Craig runs his mouth off about Boss' lack of getting results and Southerners in general, Boss gives him a piece of his mind and tells him in essence, "If you want your grandson so bad, you can get him yourself!"
  • Posthumous Character: Craig's late son.
  • Punch-Clock Villain: Craig's private investigators, who lack any Kick the Dog moments and are seen helping fight the fire endangering the baby's life at the end. Rosco is also seen helping to battle the fire.
  • Shout-Out: Boss' new economic program for Hazzard County: Hoggonomics, a clear satire on Reaganomics.
  • You Owe Me: The Dueks get a judge to sign a custody order by calling in a favor about how Jesse saved his life when his leg was caught in a bear trap once, although it becomes moot after Craig is thankful to them for saying the baby's life.
