With only a few days in Benton under their belts, Luann and Sonja start working on their end of the summer performance and have a wild night on the town where Sonja meets a potential love interest.

Luann and Sonja host their first Crappie Hour. Their success is short-lived, however, when they break the news to the mayor that the playground isn't coming along as planned.

After cleaning rooms at the motel, Luann and Sonja head off to the local dog shelter to see how they can help. They also keep their promise to provide the town with a new playground.

Luann's brother, Mike, arrives to help Luann and Sonja with the motel renovations; with Benton Follies days away, it becomes clear that Luann and Sonja are on different pages creatively.
