I recall this episode from when it was first shown, maybe because our road buddies looked like they might split up. Certainly, Prudie's (Rule) enough to turn any guy's head, with a powerful personality to match. Buzz's blue-collar origins and Todd's high-class background come to the fore here. Poor Buzz's beer-stained etiquette is no match for Todd's polished ways at Prudie's ritzy sit-down dinner. Plus, looks like Todd's made for executive-in-charge of Prudie's family business. So why shouldn't Todd step into such a sweet setup, except what would happen to the series and the Corvette.
Anyhow, those shots of the boat-building yard add a lot of flavor. But, I think it's really Rule that has stuck with me—a fine actress and distinctive personality. Here, her Prudie can't decide whether she's a free spirit or a moneyed control freak. All in all, it's a heckuva package.
