Grannny's all for feuding after Sonny flees from marrying Elly, but Jed would rather talk first than readily pull his trigger (leaving Granny to challenge his manhood). Mistaken for a robber at Milburn's bank, Jed lands in jail, putting Granny in charge of the feud. She takes Drysdale's butler, Ravenswood, hostage (despite Jethro's plea to hang onto pretty upstairs maid Marie instead). In straightening out matters at the Drysdale mansion, Milburn lets slip that he's from the Botkin clan, which Granny's Moses clan once drove out of the hills. With the old Moses feud rekindled, and under Jed's advice, Milburn makes a run for it.
