 The FBI approaches Uncle Jesse to allow Boss to stay at the Duke farm, since he is a key witness in an upcoming trial for one of the South s most notorious racketeers. The reason is because the mob boss has placed a huge bounty on Boss  head, and has hitmen all over Hazzard County who will stop at nothing to prevent him from testifying. While Boss is in hiding, Rosco takes over his little fat buddy s administrative duties, relishing the absolute authority that comes with the job.
