    did gives birth and cotton names the baby "G. H.", meaning "Good Hank". peggy feels terrible because of her fall, and she feels useless because she can't do anything by herself anymore. will she ever feel better?

    not the best conclusion to the cliffhanger that ended season 3 of the show but it was an alright episode. some parts seemed kind of boring but overall it was still a pretty good opener to the fourth season of the series. Because of all of this my overall grade for this episode would be somewhere in the "B" range, pretty good episode methinksmoreless

    After the dynamic season three finale, this episode feels a bit limp by comparison. The last epiosde squeezed so much into it and yet this one doesn't seem to give a satisfying conclusion. It has some good moments though such as when Luanne mistakes an animal scull for that of Peggys. This is probably the funniest part of the episode which is a shame as the first part was filled with gags. It certainly looses its edge as it goes a long and I was left bored by the end. Overall not a bad conclusion to a fabulous first part but slightly a pretty average episode.moreless

  • After Peggy's accident, she is in a full body cast. Meanwhile, Didi and Cotton don't really know how to take care of their new baby, GH (Good Hank) so they leave it to Bobby.moreless

    Peggy survives her accident from falling from a plane, but she's in a full body cast. Bobby has helped Didi give her baby and he likes helping out. Though Peggy's still in the cast, the doctor sends her home. Bobby gets tired of having to take care of Cotton's baby GH, (Good Hank) and quits. Didi, also doesn't want to take care of him, so he leaves GH with Peggy. Peggy manages to take care of GH despite her full body cast. This was a great conclusion to the two-part episode. Good to know King of the Hill is keeping up the good episodes.moreless

    This was a good way to start the 4th season. They rolled perfectly into it with peggy living through the accident, and GH being born. I thought it was funny as well with Cotton pushing Good Hank away because he had milk cooming out of his nipples. Boby then took on the role of dad.

    • In the scene where the G.H. is in a crib beside Peggy it shows where the toy block spinner is moving and every time one moves out of the screen it changes to a green block with a D on it Edit
    • At the end of part 1 of this episode we see that Peggy is falling face down when she hits the ground (we see the same in the beginning of this part) however when we see her lying on the ground she's face up. Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • The song that Bobby sings to G.H. seems to be the song "Arthur's Theme" by Christopher Cross. Edit
    • First appearance of Didi and Cotton's baby, G.H. Hill, Good Hank Hill. Edit
    • Tagline: "A Nazzy Nazzy-squazzy?" - Cotton Edit

    • Cotton: (looking at an injured Peggy) Hank what did you do to your wife? I didn't teach you that! Edit
    • Bobby: I can't do this. I cannot do this! I am a 12-year old boy! This baby is my uncle! If anyone cooks around here, I'll eat. All I'll do is eat! Edit
    • Hank (to Peggy in a body cast): You know, Helen Keller was largely useless, but look how we remember her. Yep, first lady of the American stage. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Helen Keller and Helen Hayes. Hank Hill refers to Helen Keller, American author, political activist and lecturer as the "First Lady of the American Stage". When in fact the woman considered the "First Lady of the American Stage" was Helen Hayes. May have been an intentional goof by the show's writers to prove how unaware Hank is of the accomplishments of women (i.e. "All Helens are the same to him"), he also called Helen Keller useless when she was a revolutionary person.
