Just as Happy's Place got Reba McEntire and Rex Linn's characters together on screen, the show dropped a bombshell that threatens their romantic future together. During the Friday, November 7, episode of the NBC sitcom, Bobbie (McEntire) made the first move and asked Emmett (Linn) out. He said no - citing a promise he made her late father - but they ultimately ended the season 2 premiere together. Emmett then revealed to Steve (Pablo Castelblanco) that Lucky didn't ask him to stay away from his daughter.
