Balladeer: A rough time has come and hasn't left yet. Luke is off at war for his family; he wanted to protect Bo's innocence. After Luke had left, Jesse got a strange visit from a man from Atlanta.
"How may I help you?" Daisy asked as she opened the door. "I am here to speak with a Jesse Duke. Is he around?" The man answered.
"My Uncle should be around here somewhere. Oh please do come in, and have a seat on the couch while I go take a look around for him." Daisy spoke anxiously. "Thank-you Miss."
Roughly five minutes later Daisy returned followed by Jesse and Bo. The stranger stood up greeting Jesse as he entered the room. "Hello Mr. Duke my name is John Smith, from Atlanta child care. I understand that you have custody of Daisy Duke, Beauregard Duke and Lukas Duke correct?"
"Yes that's true sir. Why do you ask?" Jesse was a might curious as to what was going on. "Well Mr. Duke I have a bit of news for you. I don't think you knew this; but Lukas has a younger sister."
Everyone gasped, "I am confused Mr. Smith." Bo spoke up letting Daisy and Jesse gather their wits. "Luke ain't ever said anything about having a little sister."
"You must be Beauregard" Bo nodded. "Please don't call me that… I really don't like being called that. My nickname is Bo"
"My apologies Bo," John faced Jesse and continued his speech, "I am well aware that after Lukas' mother passed away his father re-married. Is that correct Mr. Duke?" Jesse nodded. "Yes it's true as well."
"Mr. Duke after Lukas' father re-married he got his new wife pregnant. He hadn't known about this because of the fire in the hospital. Lukas' father and step-mother died in that fire, which is why you got custody of Lukas."
"Sir not to be rude or anything, but that is all stuff we knew; except that his wife was pregnant" Jesse commented. "Mr. Duke, the baby named Angel Marie Duke was living with her mother's parents up until the recent disaster in Texas."
"You mean the explosion?" Daisy asked. "Yes, Miss. Duke. Angel's family that she grew up with was killed in the explosion, and they hadn't told her about Lukas being her half-brother." Understanding was found amongst the Duke farm.
"Now Mr. Duke I have to ask you if you have room for one more child. She has nowhere to go, you are the last of her family; if things were worked out that she wouldn't be able to come here, she'd then have to be put into foster care." John explained.
"Of course, we have room for her Mr. Smith. Is she with you right now?" Jesse asked. "Mr. Duke she is at the Hazzard Hotel with my associates. I will bring her by in the morning with all of her stuff."
Excitement spread throughout the Duke clan that night preparing for the new arrival. The next day came as quick as it possibly could for the Duke family. "Oh Uncle Jesse I can't wait to meet her! Luke will be so shocked when he learns he has a sister!"
Angel was dropped by later that day and greeted by Jesse and Daisy, while Bo was out doing his chores; he had to get them done before a certain time so he could get into routine before school started.
Angel stayed close to Jesse and got along well with Daisy and shared a room with her. It took her a little while before she was close to Bo; but once she was, you could almost find them together every single day.
