Two moons for the price of one.

Warning: Spoilers
In a situation that apparently happened to Dixie Carter in real life according to a "Designing Women" reunion, Julia accidentally moons 1200 people at a fashion show for charity. Later, after being humiliated by the situation in talking with everybody at work about it, a shot of a full moon over Charlene's apartment building lightens up the sky following it over to Suzanne's where she has gotten a semi-automatic rifle after threats against her pig, Noelle, have been made by neighbors. Mary Jo is concerned about her daughter Claudia who has a new boyfriend Mary Jo fears she might have sex with.

The metaphor of the huge full moon haunts Julia throughout the episode although she gets distracted by Suzanne's shooting her automatic rifle into the dark Georgia night, repeating a rant about easy to purchase artillery she had made when she ran for city council. This is the episode where Charlene teaches Mary Jo about the ability to control others through subliminal suggestion and Mary Jo uses it to try to prevent Claudia from having sex. A consistently funny episode that make some nice social points as well.
