\Bob makes an impassioned appeal on the Ed Harrison show to his old pals in the army to come up to Vermont and honor General Waverly the only way he knows how -- through song. Meanwhile, Phil unleashes a cavalcade of slapstick comedy to distract General Waverly from watching the television.

All good things must come to an end, and that includes our time at the Columbia Inn. Everyone gets to kiss and make up, except for the poor charger statue that gets thrown into a tree. Join us one last time as we finish up the movie and look back on the memories we made along the way.

Betty breaks up the act and flees to New York City, despite the entreaties of General Waverly and then Bob. We get a fantastic tap dance number between Judy and John, and then Bob heads back to the Big Apple to try to make things right. Unfortunately, love doesn't do right by him in this chapter.

Phil and Judy try to repair the fractured relationship between Betty and Bob by cooking up a phony engagement. Judy kicks the romance engine into high gear even as Phil returns to a seemingly prepubescent state. The subsequent cast party turns into an impromptu engagement party, but Betty is still playing the role of the Ice Queen with Bob.

Dramatic irony abounds as our rom-com veers into conflict mode. Bob's sincere attempt to reach out to his old pals in the army is misinterpreted by Betty as a shrewd little angle, fracturing their relationship. Oh, and... CHOREOGRAPHY.

The temperature is rising in the Columbia Inn, and it isn't just the strange indoor firepit that they seem to have in the bar area. Bob knows the way to a woman's heart is through charcuterie, and he charms Betty with a classic song about liverwurst and buttermilk. Their tender moment is cut short by our old friend General Waverly, who suffers his own heartbreaking disappointment at not being brought back into the army.

The song and dance kicks into high gear as the whole company arrives in sleepy Pine Tree. This chapter features two of the more theatrical numbers in the whole movie, "Minstrel Show" followed by "Mandy". The second number leads to some more unsubtle flirting between Bob and Betty at the piano.

The movie heads north, past New York to Vermont, but not before our foursome sings one of the most charming numbers in the movie, "Snow". Then we arrive at the Columbia Inn and are reunited with General Waverly. Things seem desperate until Phil and Bob concoct a scheme to bring the whole show up to Vermont, which should cost somewhere between ouch... and boing.

Comedy ensues as Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye do their best Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon impressions, dressing up in drag for the reprise of "Sisters" so the real sisters can escape. After finagling their way onto the train despite having no tickets, Phil is forced to admit to Bob that he gave away their tickets to Betty and Judy. Bob is itching for a fight... until the ladies show up.

We get one of the best dance segments in the movie, as Phil and Judy team up for "The Best Things Happen When You're Dancing" in a set that isn't quite at the beach. But before that, we get Betty and Judy's signature number, "Sisters". Sparks are flying already between our quartet, and it doesn't have anything to do with lighting the rug on fire.

Davis gets the gang together with the first of several pathetic references to his broken arm. The two go off on a whirlwind montage of fairly abbreviate singing, before a little tete-a-tete about work-life balance. Then we transition to Novello's club, where we meet Betty and Judy. Turns out Judy has concocted her own little scheme to attract Wallace and Davis.

We begin our 12-pack of episodes with an extended title sequence (in VISTAVISION), before a little hijinks on the front line. Man, a sound stage has never looked so unrealistic. We get our introduction to Bing Crosby and the title song of the movie, followed by a salute to the general, before an air raid unleashes some very unrealistic special effects on our heroes.
