* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Richard Moll, who plays Milo, the meanest, most physically intimidating -- not to mention largest (he's 6-foot-8 and well over 300 pounds in real life) -- of the three Beaudrys. Indeed, in their early skirmish with the Beaudrys, Bo and Luke fail to even so much as faze Milo, while Milo easily busts Bo and Luke apart. Yet, Moll's real-life persona is ''much closer'' to (more like, exactly) that of Bull Shannon, the physically imposing but heart-of-a-child, soft-spoken bailiff on ''Series/NightCourt''.

One of the most chilling episodes of the series starts off innocently enough: Daisy longs for her freedom and not to be oppressively watched over by Bo and Luke all the time; after all, they've run off any potential male suitor who even so much as says hello. But things take a dark, dark turn when -- shortly after moving from the Duke farm to cool off and sort out her emotions -- the dreaded Beaudry clan (already feuding with Boss and Rosco over Hogg's old moonshine distillery) decide that Daisy would make a perfect wife for the youngest son, the vile, unbeatable, psychopathic strongman Milo. Can Bo and Luke save Daisy before she winds up in a potentially deadly situation she can't escape from?

* LecherousLicking and PervertedDrooling: Milo, throughout the episode. Early on, when the Beaudrys go to the Boar's Nest to meet with Boss, he instantly takes a liking to Daisy and when he won't leave her alone, Bo and Luke intercede (leading to the first fight scene). Later, the Beaudrys kidnap Daisy outside of the courthouse and Milo paws her repeatedly. Finally, Milo is licking his chops as the preacher begins the ceremony.



* ShotgunWedding: Literally. And if Daisy refuses to say "I do" during her wedding ceremony to Milo Beaudry, she'll be shot in the head, if not viciously raped beforehand.

* NoSell: What Milo does when Bo and Luke confront him the first time. He smiles evily and doesn't even flinch at everything that the Duke boys throw at him ... and then when he gets a whack at them, he hurts them far worse than any of the previous villains. Even during their final confrontation, Milo simply takes everything thrown at him without being hurt, forcing Bo and Luke to be very creative to weaken him.

* OffOnATechnicality: It'll be mentioned again in Season 6's "Boss Behind Bars," but the average fan must wonder why – since Daisy was kidnapped and taken across state lines – the Beaudrys weren't facing federal kidnapping charges ... ones that would, upon conviction, have them sentenced to life in prison with no parole.
