Bo was mad enough to spit nails, and Uncle Jesse was boiling mad when they found out that Hughie was behind Luke's wreck.
"I can't believe that little devil is back in town!" said Bo. "Can't he ever give us a break?"
"Well," said Jesse, "all I've gotta say is that no dirty, rotten Hogg better go hurting Luke again."
"He won't if he knows what's good for him," said Bo, "Cause I'll hurt him if he does."
After two weeks, Luke was feeling better, but he was still not quite up to par, yet. One morning, Bo and Uncle Jesse got up to find him sitting at the kitchen table.
"Mornin' Bo, Uncle Jesse. How are y'all doing ?" asked Luke.
"We're doing fine, cuz," said Bo. "How are you doing?"
"Well, I still have a little touch of a headache and still feel dizzy, but my vision is a little better."
"Well good!" said Bo. "Can ya see us at all?"
Luke focused as hard as he could at them, but everything was still fuzzy. "Sorry, y'all, but it's still not clear." Not being able to see really upset him. "Dang-it all! I ... hate this! ... I can't see I ..I can't function!"
To make matters worse, Luke suddenly got a dizzy spell and he fell out of the chair and onto the kitchen floor. Bo saw Luke pass out and rushed over to see if he was okay. He tried to wake him up.
"Luke, you okay? Luke, answer me cuz!"
It took Luke awhile, but he started comin' around. Unfortunately, it wasn't without pain.
" Ohhh..," he groaned. "Ow! My head... What happened?"
"You got dizzy and then you passed out," said Bo.
"Oh... Well, you know I did feel a little dizzy."
"You ain't well yet, son," said Uncle Jesse. "You've gotta take it a little easier. Don't worry, you'll be better soon."
"Hey Bo, would you mind helpin' me up? " asked Luke.
Bo helped him up and over to the couch and then Uncle Jesse told Bo to go get some ice for Luke's head.
"I can't take this anymore!" Luke told Uncle Jesse. "This is killing me! I'm useless!"
"I know it's frustrating, Luke," said Uncle Jesse, "but it'll go away. It's just gonna take a little bit of time."
Several minutes later, Bo arrived with the bag of ice. He handed it to Jesse who gave it to Luke.
"Dang, my head hurts!" he said. "I feel like I have a splitting headache."
"Put the ice on it and it should make it feel better," said Uncle Jesse.
So Luke did as he was told. He winced as he put the ice on his forehead.
Later on that afternoon, Bo decided he was gonna take a drive over to the Boars Nest to catch up on some of the town gossip. Little did he know that Rosco was sitting at his speed trap just waiting for someone to drive by. Rosco pulled out behind him as he drove past.
I gotcha now Bo Duke," said Rosco over the CB. "You ain't getting away from me this time!"
" Dang-it, Rosco!" Bo shouted back. "I ain't done nothing wrong. Leave me alone!"
Bo figured he'd give Rosco a chase until he reached the Boars Nest, but luckily by then he had already lost him.
Bo walked into the bar and saw Enos and ** sitting at one of the tables drinking two Boars Nest Specials.
"Hey, y'all!" said Bo. "Sorry I ain't been out in awhile."
"I was startin' to wonder what happened to ya'," said **. "It ain't like ya to miss happy hour."
"Well, I've been busy with Luke. Taking care of him is a 24/7 job."
"How is Lukas doing?" asked **. "I ain't seen him around town for a few day's now."
"Oh...he's hanging in there, **. The doc said that he could make a full recovery, but he just has to give himself time."
"It's gotta be frustrating for him," said Enos, "not being able to function like he used to."
"Uncle Jesse keeps tellin' him that he has to give himself time, but I'm afraid it just frustrates him."
"Well, I hope he feels better soon," said **. "It ain't the same without him."
Daisy walked over to their table. "Hey, boys! Here's some more beer."
"Thanks, Daisy! My glass was gettin' a little low," said **.
As Bo was at the Boars Nest, Uncle Jesse meanwhile was back at the farm keeping an eye on Luke, who was sleeping away. As Jesse watched Luke sleep on the sofa, he walked over and covered him with the old red blanket from the chair. Luke moaned a little as his uncle covered him up, but he didn't stir. Uncle Jesse figured he was just dreamin' about something.
Bo was just fixing to leave the Boars Nest when he noticed Hughie Hogg come in.
"What in the heck are you doin' here?" asked Bo.
"Well, I thought I'd come by and get a drink," said Hughie. "It's a free country, ain't it ? Besides it's too late for you Duke boys to stop me, what with Luke being blind as a bat." He gave an evil laugh.
Bo hit the roof. He picked up Hughie and threw him over one of the tables. When Hughie got back up, he hit him in the stomach and then gave him a black eye, too.
Rosco came out and shot his gun to stop the fight, but not before Bo got one more good punch in on Hughie.
"Alright you two! Break it up now, or I'm gonna cuff ya and stuff ya!" said Rosco.
"Rosco, arrest Hughie," said Bo. "I want him to pay for makin' Luke crash into the Hazzard Pond!"
So Rosco slapped the cuffs on Hughie and led him down to the jail and put him behind bars.
With Hughie behind bars, the Dukes are safe for now. I just hope it stays that way for Luke's sake!
