Episode 259

Overview

Loretta and Cathy agree that men like Howie are funny in the head and are also funny in bed. Lila and Vernon separately phone Howie and offer to meet him with tips for his story. Everyone meets at the Haggers home to rehearse acts for the telethon but end up arguing about who gets to go on the air in prime-time. Lila gets Howie into a hot tub and tries to seduce him for the diary, but Texas catches them, jumps in the tub, and tries to strangle Howie... until Wanda walks in and finds all three together in a compromising position. Tom warns Mary to not hang out with Dewey because he could be part of the black militant group in Fernwood. At the plant, Vernon hides himself in the shadows and tells Howie that the black militant group was responsible for the plant explosion. Howie accidentally finds GGG paraphernalia hidden in the plant break room.
