Will gets a whipping and two months of no driving when Miss Alice Ann tattles. Everybody hears, but they unfairly blame Lightfoot because she is a mill girl. Will's family gives Grandpa and Miss Love a "Welcome Home" dinner at which everyone is civil, but Will's parents and Loma disapprove of how much fun Grandpa and Miss Love had, seeing shows and dancing. After Everyone gets their presents, Will sees his mama thinking Miss Love is trying to buy her way into the family and that papa may be sweet on Miss Love.
He hears about the plan to surprise the town: Grandpa has ordered a car (a Pierce), and bought the rights to the Cadillac and Pierce dealerships. Grandpa and Miss Love are planning an event for the car's arrival, and ask Will to drive the car to the store at the the event. even though Will is forbidden to drive for two months as punishment for getting caught with Lightfoot, he decides that getting to drive the car at the event is worth any punishment.
