Recap / The Dukes Of Hazzard S 2 E 14 The Runaway

Go To

The Dukes are caught up in a feud between a millionaire and his daughter, who is engaged to a young Hazzard County farmer and friend of the Dukes. Can the Dukes get the millionaire to see the error of his ways before he seals a permanent estrangement between the two?

Tropes present in this episode:

  • Every Car Is a Pinto: Which is what happens to Daisy's 1974 Plymouth Barracuda, as Bo and Luke — chasing after the bad guys — lose control of the car and bail out ... only for the car to fall over the side of a conveniently located cliff and burst into flames. Daisy, needless to say, does not take the news well.
    • First Appearance: However, the demise of Daisy's car does lead to her acquiring a brand new Jeep Wrangler! (Incidentally, this is the only episode where the Jeep's doors are on; they'll be taken off in all future episodes.)
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Uncle Jesse gives one of these to C.J. Holmes when he gets sick and tired of him insulting farmers, of which his future son-in-law is one.
