* TrailOfBreadCrumbs: Luke tosses playing cards out of the back of the pickup truck so Daisy can follow them in the General Lee to where the kidnappers are holding Boss.
* UnexpectedlyRealMagic: What Rosco thinks happened when Boss disappears from the DisappearingBox. Rosco even contacts the manufacturer, who sells him another MagicalIncantation to get him back.
* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Luke figures out how to get Boss back and fills everyone in on it, but we don't hear it we just see it in action.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After Boss gets kidnapped no more mention is made of Boss's real estate deal he was sneaking out to finalize. One wonders what the buyer, who is sitting in Boss Hogg's office, is thinking.

[[TheStinger So, you see, that's the way it goes in Hazzard, where the Dukes will even help out their enemy when the chips are down. That's plum typical of the Dukes of Hazzard. Too bad it ain't the same everywhere else, huh? ]] \\

* OnlyAFleshWound: In a roundabout way in the scene where Bo and Luke attempt to rescue Boss from his captors the Malone brothers. After Floyd and Bubba beat up the Duke boys, Floyd makes good on his promise to try to murder Boss and actually shoots at him (the only time Boss had been shot at). Boss -- who is tied to a chair and is trying his own escape attempt -- is knocked off the porch. For a second, viewers are led to believe that Boss had actually been seriously wounded, but Bo and Luke recover enough to discover that the bullet was lodged ... in Boss' wallet, full of (no doubt phony) credit cards! Meaning that Floyd now faces attempted murder.

* SeriesFinale: Not a true send-off episode per se, but it does use a recurring theme that seems more dire than usual: Revenge-minded criminals who are more vicious and bloodthirsty than usual kidnap Boss Hogg, and it is up to the Dukes to stop these villains.

By episode's end, Rosco concedes that Boss has disappeared for good and breaks down in real tears.

** TheCastShowoff: The talent show scene, as stated above. Of course, John Schneider already had a successful recording career ongoing (his then-current hit, "Country Girls," was a big hit at country radio), and Tom Wopat would soon follow with a string of hits all his own; Catherine Bach, although she didn't have any chart hits, was also very talented. Even Sonny Shroyer shows off some genuine talent with his act (although it's background due to the focus on Bo and Luke figuring out that Boss' "disappearance" is suspicious, and having to inform Lulu). The magic show skit featuring James Best and Sorrell Booke is their comedic improvision at its best.

* TalentShow: A good chunk of the first half of the episodes centers on a talent revue at the Boar's Nest. All of the major characters take their turn in the spotlight – the Dukes and Cooter on a rendition of the old bluegrass song "Fox On The Run" (not to be confused with the rock song recorded by The Sweet), Enos doing a song and dance ... and of course, Boss and Rosco on their magic show/disappearing lady trick.
