Jason becomes the new piano man at the Dew Drop Inn, much to chagrin of Olivia and Grandma who disapprove of drinking. He persuades a former bandleader named Red (Merle Haggard), who had been sequestered after the death of his son Seth (played by Ron Howard in a previous episode), to return to the stage. Meanwhile, Yancey Tucker loves Cissy but is uneasy at the thought of marriage, so Cissy pretends interest in John-Boy in order to get Yancey to propose.
