The only point of interest here is the re-introduction of Alberta Nelson as diner waitress Flora Malherbe. Earlier, she played a different character in "The Return of Barney Fife". She was also the enigmatic blonde biker chick in most of the Beach Party flicks with Frankie Avalon.
Goober has an overly obvious and rather pathetic crush on Flora. However, she falls for Andy in an equally unsubtle and obvious manner. She throws herself at Andy and even behaves like a stalker, following him into the woods while he's out hunting. Things turn out all right (they always do) when she finally realizes Andy is unavailable while Goober, not surprisingly, is single with no prospects.
Flora is clearly out of Goober's league, but she sees something in him anyway. Nelson is charming in the role and returned a few weeks later in "Goober's Replacement" (episode 28). In season 8 the Flora character was in "Emmett's Anniversary" (1968). Nelson was also billed as "waitress" in the Mayberry R.F.D. episode "Emmett's Retirement" (1969).
