Erin graduates
high school, and at the ceremony, Mrs. Fordwick, rather thoughtlessly,
announces that Erin has no future plans. Traumatized, she takes a job as a
waitress at a truck stop, but when Jason stops a man from grabbing her, he is
punched in the face. Wallowing in guilt and self pity, she tries to help John-Boy
buy a typewriter by working at a business school. Stunned by the gesture, he
arranges a deal to offer school free advertising in his newspaper in exchange
for Erin’s tuition at the school. Meanwhile, Ike Godsey is resentful that he’s
not included in John-Boy’s novel.
Erin continues
to be in the spotlight with Mary Ellen gone; this time she gets several
emotional scenes with her newest breakdown. This show establishes her as
prospective office worker/secretary, and from the epilogue, we know that she
will marry.
Some nice new
score movements; for the last 10 or so episodes, a different musical theme
underscores many scenes – it reminds me a bit of the Roots score: very country, Americana.
