A terrific episode made even better by the great
Bruce Davison. Olivia's late friend's daughter, also named Olivia, is getting married and the family is hosting the wedding. Her groom Bob Hill (Davison) is a high-strung fussy type, which doesn't bode well as the locals are planning a shivaree, a quaint rural custom that involves kidnapping the groom and dumping him in the woods. All hell breaks loose and Olivia and Bob's young marriage is immediately on the rocks. It would've been easy to make Bob a two-dimensional antagonist, a la Frank Burns, but Davison's outstanding performance lends an empathy that most actors wouldn't have found. A couple of standout scenes: the shivaree itself, with Ike Godsey, Yancy Tucker, Horace Brimley and Zack Roswell in all their hillbilly hootin' and hollerin' glory, and the funny (and RACY) bit of dialogue between John and Olivia concerning their children's honeymoons. Don't miss it.
