Petticoat Junction - S04E11 – The Runt Strikes Back

Episode Plot: There's a dance on Saturday. Billie Jo has stopped accepting dates from everyone except Steve and Don, the new young doctor in the valley. Bobbie Jo has stopped accepting dates from everyone except Steve and Don. Although neither Steve or Don have asked anyone to the dance yet, Billie Jo and Bobbie Jo are certain that they will be the two lucky girls going to the dance with Steve and Don, with Billie Jo believing she has the right of the first choice being the oldest. Through all this wrangling between sisters, the left-out sister is Betty Jo, who feels she has as much right to be included in the dating discussion. This exclusion is just the latest in the long line of snubs at being the young Bradley girl. The snub not only seems to be from Billie Jo and Bobbie Jo, but all the boys of the valley, as well as the only person who has asked her to the dance, is Eb, and only because he was turned down by Billie Jo and Bobbie Jo. Not wanting to take it anymore, Betty Jo decides to strike out on her own by getting a job. But a little help from both Steve and Don may show the world in a better light than Betty Jo is all grown up.
