More focus on Pickett’s plant; this time a Hollywood crew
wants to film a documentary about women in the workforce for the war effort.
The director, a slimy smooth-talker, connives to sweet-talk Erin so she stays
out of her way, even promising her movie stardom if comes out to tinseltown.
Excited, she even convinces Mary Ellen to tag along. Soon, however, both
realize what they would be giving up on the mountain, and when Erin discovers
the director’s true intentions, she abandons all her plans… and dreams.
Subplot: The Baldwin Sisters’ plans to serve the war effort
by hosting a fancy dinner for servicemen crashes and burns, until Sergeant
Jason orders a few to go.
Since Erin’s presence was marginalized of late, she gets
center stage here, and the show dually deals with crushed dreams and the
historical context of the women’s war effort. Sweet Billy (from “The Diploma”)
even has a return engagement, showing how liked and needed Mary Ellen has
become with the hillbillies.
No appearance of Rose, Jeffrey or Selena.
