18. The Blonde Leading the Blind

Complete story — includes the ending

After Reba accidentally hits Van's car, the family makes fun of her poor eyesight and insist she do something about it. Reba tells Cheyenne she had an appointment for laser eye surgery; ironically the pole she hit was in the eye doctor's parking lot. The surgery leaves Reba temporarily blind. Before leaving for the movies, Cheyenne tells Van that Reba got laser eye surgery. He then decides to get back at Reba for hitting his car, Van calls Barbra Jean despite the fact that Reba wants to be left alone. BJ insists on helping Reba post-surgery while the rest of the family is away. Later, thinking she is talking to Cheyenne, Reba badmouths Barbra Jean, only to find out she's been talking to her the whole time. Overwhelmed with guilt after Barbra Jean leaves her house in tears, and with Brock's help, Reba finally tells Barbra Jean how thankful she is for their friendship. Reba ends up getting the last laugh when she and Jake get back at Van by giving him cookies that messed him up. Absent: Scarlett Pomers as Kyra Hart
