In the opening teaser, Miss Piggy in a bubble bath announces her presence and says that unlike Dolly, she doesn't wear a wig. As the show proceeds, Dolly finds out the pig has canceled their duet, commandeered her dressing room, and is browbeating her producer. Dolly and Piggy makeup and return to the stage to sing "Friendship." Later, Piggy sings "Someone To Watch Over Me," in part to lampoon Parton's performance of the song in the first episode. Parton, annoyed at being undermined by Miss Piggy, tells guest Juice Newton that they might be "having ham sandwiches after the show." Piggy forces herself into the last number, "Oh, Lonesome Me", singing with Parton, Newton, and Jerry Reed, only to make a quick exit to her limo immediately after. This episode was released on the deluxe edition of the 2020 DVD set Dolly: The Ultimate Collection.       |
