Meet the In-Laws

Steve and Betty Jo's wedding is approaching fast. They are working hard trying to complete the renovations on their cottage by the time of the wedding. They get a letter from Steve's parents, Mr. & Mrs. Donald Elliott, who have decided to stop by Hooterville on their way to a business meeting. Betty Jo is freaked out by the line in the letter: "We just want to meet your Betty Jo, have one of her delicious meals, and see your dream house." Steve stretched the truth about Betty Jo's cooking and the cottage when writing home to his parents. Kate is ordered bed-rest by Doc Stuart for what looks to be a 48-hour cold. Betty Jo is having a terrible time in the kitchen, until Mrs. Elliot helps out. The next day, they go to see the cottage. Sam and some other men from town surprise everyone by having finished the work on the cottage.
