The episode opens up with Bessy looking at some sort of photo. Otis comes by and Bessy sadly greets him. Otis is intrigued by this because she didn't call him a moron and he asks her why. Bessy says it's because she's depressed over losing her son. Long before she came to the barnyard (and probably met Daisy), Bessy and her son (still a few months old) were at a petting zoo at the county fair. Bessy's son went off to play with a bunch of balloons and floated away. Bessy never saw him again.
