Back at the house, Aunt Bee, Thelma Lou and Helen Crump were getting ready for that night's party.

Gomer saw he was going to land in Mayberry in a few minutes. He couldn't believe he was finally here and going to see all of his friends again after five years. Goober and Floyd were already at the luggage claim, picking up Gomer's luggage.

"Whatever you do, Floyd, don't mention the party," Goober said as they heard the PA system mention his cousin's flight.

"I won't, Goober. Does he know anything about it?" Floyd asked.

"He does, but I told him to act surprised," Goober said.

Floyd gave a laugh and thought it was funny.

"Good one, Goober. You're pretty sneaky," Floyd said.

Goober heard what Floyd said but didn't answer him. Goober was busy yelling and waving. Floyd wasn't paying much attention.

That's when Gomer heard a familiar voice yell his name. He looked all over the airport and found Goober and Floyd at the luggage claim. He fast walked to hug his cousin and barber.

"Gomer, did you know Barney has a family now?" Floyd asked.

"Yeah, I know. Lucky guy. I want to meet his family," Gomer said.

"You will tonight," Goober said.

"I can't wait to see Barney again."

"Act surprised," Goober said.

"I don't want them to know that you already know about the party, so don't say a word about it," Goober said.

"I won't," Gomer said as the three finally made it to the sheriff's office.

"You stay here for a minute," Goober said to his cousin.

"Okay," Gomer said.

He watched Goober disappear.

"Andy, we're back. Should we have the party now? I have Floyd with Gomer at the door of the courthouse," Goober said.

"I guess we could. Let me call Aunt Bee first," Andy told Goober.

"Okay. Do we wait for you outside or meet you at the house?" Goober asked.

"Wait for us and then we can go to the house for the party," Andy said.

"Okay," Goober said and shut the door behind him.

Andy and Barney came out.

"Glad to have you back," Andy said.

"Thanks, Andy. I sure did miss everyone," Gomer said.

"Is it true you're married, Barney?" Gomer asked.

"Yes, it's true, Gomer," Barney said.

"Hey, Barney, show Gomer your wedding ring," Goober said.

"Knock it off, Goober. The ring ain't a big deal," Barney said.
