Doc Appleby and his staff were doing the surgery, and they were taking their time cause they didn't want to rush, and cause any damage while Luke was under his care, and the two hours were over, Doc Appleby said, "Good job, Everyone", and they cleaned up, and got Luke back into his room 4 hours later, after some new tests were performed, and then Doc Appleby went update Cooter, and Luke's family on how Luke is doing now.
Bo saw Doc Appleby come into the room, and this time he had a smile on his face, and Jesse asked, "How is my boy doing, Homer? Doc Appleby said with a smile, "I am very positive give the course, Luke will get his hearing back", and Jesse and everyone hugged each other, and they thanked the doctor, and he went to make his rounds on his patients, and before he left, he promised to check in on Luke later on during the day, and he left to do his task.

"I love you too, Cousin, and I love the sound of your voice too, and I do feel safe with you", and he opened his eyes, and smiled at his younger cousin, and Bo smiled, and said laughing, "You can hear me? You can hear me?" and Luke smiled, and said, "Loud and clear, Buddy", and they hugged tightly, and then Bo rushed to get the others, and let them know about Luke being able to hear again.

One day, Luke and Bo were taking a drive in the "General Lee" for no reason, and then Cletus came up on them, and Bo let out a chuckle, and Luke said, "What's so funny, Cousin?", and Bo said, "Cletus is behind us, I ain't doing higher than 55 miles per hour", and Luke took a look, and grabbed the C.B., and said, "Well, Good Morning, Cletus, It's nice to see you so bright and early, we don't have time for chitchat, so we will be seeing you later", and Cletus said on the other end of the line, "I am sorry, but you have to pull over for cutting across "Private Property", so pull over", and Luke and Bo looked at each other, and they knew what was gonna happen next, "OK, Buddy, we will pull over, there is a beautiful sight straight ahead", and Cletus said on the line, "Oh yeah, where's that at?", and Luke said as Bo mouth the words along with him smiling, "Hazzard Pond", and Cletus said frantically, "Hazzard Pond!", and he pulled to a stop, and the "General Lee" rushed past him, and Cletus got out of his car, angrily raising a fist towards them, and the Duke Boys were laughing like crazy.
Bo said as he looked over his shoulder, "It looks like Cletus is okay", and Luke said agreeing, "Yeah", and he suddenly had an idea, and said, "Hey, Bo, let's jump Old Sticks River", and Bo said shocked, "Lucas Duke! Are you out of your mind? You just got out of the hospital, and Uncle Jesse would skin us alive if anything happens to either one of us", and Luke said, "Come on, Cousin, let's have some fun", and Bo relented, and they did the jump, and headed for home for some of Jesse's Crawldad Bisque.
