"Cold Feet" is the 21st episode of the second season of Pepper Ann. It aired on December 26, 1998.

Synopsis[]

During Grandpa Leo and Grandma Lillian's 50th anniversary vow renewal, Grandma Lillian tells Pepper Ann the story of how she nearly escaped dying in the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper and how she, Janey, and Lydia worked the pageant circuit to raise money for the house.

Plot[]

The Pearson family is getting ready for Leo and Lillian's wedding renewal. Everyone is trying to make things right except Pepper Ann who would rather be hanging out with her friends. When Lillian does not come out, Lydia asks Pepper Ann to go check on her and discovers that she is ready to simply leave Hazelnut and try and move on with her life after feeling that she has not accomplished anything worthwhile. Pepper Ann does not understand, but does become interested when Lillian mentions her past and decides to tell her history.

Lillian was a WWII showgirl who met young Leo Lilly. Rather than take what would have most likely been an a lucrative movie contract (though history shows otherwise), Lillian goes out with Leo and they get married. In 1959, a very pregnant Lillian is about to go on an unfortunate plane trip to Minnesota, but goes into labor with her second child "Lanie", who would later be named Janie. An adult Lydia acts as Lillian's assistant during a performance of The Pirates of Penzance and meets her future husband Chuck. The performance saves the Rialto Theater.

Pepper Ann discovers to her surprise that she herself performed at the Rialto as a toddler with Lillian for a pageant. They won the money with half of it going to Pepper Ann's college fund and the other half used as the down payment for the house. Pepper Ann realizes that it was because of her that they have a roof over their heads. Realizing that she has fulfilled so much in her life, Lillian decides to go through with the wedding renewal after all. As the ceremony commences, Lydia asks what happened, but Pepper Ann says that she got tangled in her veil.
