After Dennis sings "The Yellow Rose of Texas", Jack flashes back to the previous day: Jack is about to start a new season, and everyone is badgering him with suggestions and demands, such as Don Wilson's wife insisting that Jack stop making jokes about Don's weight. When Jack drops by Dennis Day's house to discuss a song, Dennis' mother (Verna Felton) starts saying that Jack isn't giving her son the treatment and exposure he deserves.
