As Christmas approaches, an old woman tries to tries to spend her last days inside the Hill home... as Hank and Peggy try to figure out a way to get rid of her.
Hank accompanies Cotton and Bill to Mexico to keep them from buying into a timeshare; Peggy, Dale and Bobby sneak into swimming pools during a heat wave.
Peggy tries to spruce up the front yard by purchasing a lawn gnome... much to Hank's horror.
Hank is embarrassed when his new driver's license lists him as female; after reviewing the Warren Commission Report, Dale turns pro-America.
Hank excitedly joins a new military program that allows civilians to adopt pets while G.I.s serve their tour of duty... but the dog, Duke, turns out to be a mean-spirited cat.
