This show has its moments. Fantastic final section. Although, that line about Egyptians and their Hebrew slaves earlier in the episode is total nonsense. Brought to you courtesy of the same folks who took a jab at Berlin a little while ago.

A Twister! Auntie Peg! Uncle Hank!

Warning: Spoilers
To paraphrase Nancy Hicks-Gribble: Tornadoes are Hell on Earth.

Hank learns Luanne's parents' trailer isn't really totaled and that if he fixes the trailer, Luanne could move back in. Luanne however, doesn't want to go back and thinks her uncle doesn't care about her feelings, this leads to Luanne moving out and Peggy having an argument with him.

The two drive back to the trailer park so Luanne can move in but after they leave, a tornado warning is set in Arlen and heading towards the path of Peggy and Luanne. Hank and Bobby go through a dangerous trek to save Peggy and Luanne.

From start to finish, the episode is laugh out loud and lovable, especially the hilarious ending, Hank's attitude towards Luanne moving out shows a stubborn look upon his character but his last minute actions shows his acknowledgment of wrongdoing and bravery even in a most embarrassing situation he is put in. Peggy's support makes her character a great mother figure and Luanne's emotions involving the trailer are genuine to the focus of the episode being that she is a product of a dangerous marriage by two people with troublesome issues, her disappointment of Hank's obliviousness to her emotions puts Hank in his usual selfish mindset but a shocking part involving Hank getting into a large argument with Peggy leading to him telling her to go to Hell.

Dale and Boomhauer's adventure of being tornado hunters is valuable but short, it ensures a hilarious moment and gives big laughs. The big moment is the climatic ending in which Hank survives a tornado but is stripped to nothing and is put in a worse situation inside a worse situation, Hank's speech shows his regret but also shows he cares for Luanne but he also cares for Peggy and believes if those were his last words to her, he would never forgive himself.

The Lesson is chaotic and hilarious but also don't say something you'll regret later and that family shouldn't be pushed aside, especially in a tornado.

Yup.
