After dinner, they retire to the porch where they sing. After a song its time for Opie to go to bed. Opie asks for Peggy to come up and say good night. Peggy asked to come back again tomorrow night to fix dinner. It's at this point when Andy is reminded of Floyd's prediction.

Later at the barbershop Floyd continues to talk about the potential relationship. Andy is determined that there will be no relationship. Andy leaves mad. He later tells Peggy by phone that she didn't need to come over to make dinner. Weenie's and Beans just don't compare.
