An excited Bobbie Jo passes on the news that she and the man of her dreams, journalism graduate student Jeff Powers, will be working on a newspaper together... perhaps.

Bobbie Jo is hoping Kate will ask Sam for her if she and Jeff can be the editors of the Hooterville World Guardian for the week. Kate and Bobbie Jo are surprised that Sam is more than willing to hand over the reigns. Jeff ends up having a hard hitting view of of newspaper journalism, naming names whenever they are known. Sam isn't too sure about that policy, but he changes his mind after Kate and Joe tell him that if the story is factual, it is news. Bobbie Jo may change her mind about the policy when one of the stories affects Uncle Joe negatively. If she can't change Jeff's mind about printing the story about Uncle Joe, Bobbie...
