Synopsis by Hal Erickson
John Hoyt, best known to TV sitcom fans as the capricious Grandpa on Gimme a Break, appears in this episode as stern temperance lecturer Jeremiah Priddy. Kate is quick to realize that Priddy is so dedicated to his cause that he is sorely neglecting his young son Clint (played by Buddy Foster, the brother of Jodie Foster). When Clint runs away to the Shady Rest, Kate takes it upon herself to bring father and son back together by turning the tables on Priddy and lecturing HIM!
