Hank is outraged when he finds that the Texas State Fair Grill-Off doesn't allow grilling with propane and is even further aggravated when no one but him gives cares enough about it. Luanne, who wants to be treated like an adult, offers to help Hank organize a grilling protest. Luanne enlists the help of college protestors, which so appalls Hank that he kicks her off the protest. Determined to prove herself, Luanne climbs up into Big Tex, the State Fair's giant mascot, and continues protesting on her own. Meanwhile, Peggy tries to visit a house where a famous murder took place, but the real estate agent is only letting in potential buyers.

Notes[]

  • The mansion Peggy wants to visit, the "Baxter Death Mansion", was likely inspired by the murder of Daniel and Linda Broderick by his ex wife, Betty. Similar to the Baxters, Betty had worked to put Daniel through medical school early in their marriage, though he later left her for his assistant, Linda. Enraged, Betty killed the couple while they slept. Betty was portrayed by Meridith Baxter in the Lifetime film about her crime, which is where the name of the mansion may come from.
  • The title of the episode is a reference to the song "Girl You'll be a Woman Soon" by Neil Diamond.
  • Big Tex, the State Fair's giant mascot, is voiced by Jonathan Joss who also voices John Redcorn.
  • This episode is the second time that a fair is the setting of Luanne jumping into political issues without putting much thought into action. In "The Perils of Polling," she ends up backing the Communist Party candidate due to viewing the candidate as good-looking.

Stinger Quote[]

  • Boomhauer: "Dang ol' 'propane, propane, propane', man."
