is shocked at the revelation that Luanne isn't a virgin, and horrified to learn that she has had three other sexual partners as well. Hank takes Luanne to talk to Reverend Stroup about her sins, and Reverend Stroup suggests enrolling Luanne in a born-again virgin
program - but coaxes Hank and Peggy
to attend with Luanne as her "virginity sponsors".
The day of the program arrives, and Reverend Stroup begins by dividing the attendees up by gender to discuss their sexual histories. In the men's group, Hank reveals that his only partner ever is Peggy, at whose insistence the two of them waited until marriage. Another young man, Rhett, also states that he has had only one partner, but his retelling of the occasion reveals that he had merely been getting a back massage and ejaculated involuntarily. Meanwhile, the women are given chocolate kisses, one for each man they've slept with. Luanne receives her four kisses; Peggy asks for a single kiss for Hank, but when Reverend Stroup openly praises Peggy for her restraint, she suddenly blurts out that she has actually had two partners. After everyone else leaves, Peggy confides to Luanne that her first partner had been a close friend who came out
to her, and the two of them had only had sex to see if he really was gay. Luanne's next step is the born-again-virgin ceremony, done like a baptism
in the waters of Lake Arlen. Peggy finds herself increasingly consumed by guilt over hiding her true sexual history from Hank. Hank, meanwhile, decides that Luanne needs a decent boyfriend for a change, and fixes her up with Rhett; they hit it off immediately, but their mutual attraction is obviously primarily physical. Later they attend a church-run abstinence dance along with Hank, Peggy, Bobby, and Connie. While dancing, Rhett can no longer take the sexual tension and proposes to Luanne. An ecstatic Luanne runs and tells Hank and Peggy, who try to talk her out of marrying someone she barely knows just to have sex. When Peggy presses her insistence, Luanne lets it slip at last that Peggy had had sex before meeting Hank.
Hank is furious over this new revelation, not only because Peggy had kept this from him but also because she had had premarital sex with another and then refused to do so with Hank. Despite Peggy's genuine apologies, Hank refuses to hear her out and goes to stay with Luanne, helping the couple prepare for their wedding despite Peggy's pleas to reconsider. The next night, Peggy is unable to sleep from the turmoil and looks out onto Rainey Street... and spies Luanne sneaking out of her bedroom window. She phones Luanne's house and alerts Hank to the situation; Hank rushes outside to where Luanne and Rhett are making out in a van. Hank interrupts the couple, declaring that the wedding is to be held the next day; Peggy arrives and again tries to convince Luanne that marrying just to have sex is a terrible idea, and that if she herself had married the first person she slept with she never would have met Hank, whom she truly loves. Hank, however, is unmoved, and drags Luanne back inside. The next day finds Hank and Luanne alone at the lake where the wedding is to be held. Hank wonders where all the guests are, but Luanne reveals that she has called the wedding off, having reflected on Peggy's words and realising that she and Rhett would be marrying for the wrong reasons after all. Meanwhile, Reverend Stroup is performing the born-again-virgin ceremony for Peggy. Hank reacts with skepticism at first, but seeing his wife in her wet baptismal robe distracts him from his anger. Peggy proposes that the two of them start over, and Hank retrieves her from the lake, carrying her back to his truck to 'get her out of her wet clothes'. Luanne then giggles that someone is going to lose their virginity, but it's not going to be her.

Continuity and trivia
- Hank is surprised in this episode that Luanne isn't a virgin, but in "Husky Bobby" he found her in bed with Buckley.

In "Hilloween", Bobby tells Luanne that the two of them need to be careful because Satanists like to sacrifice virgins, and Luanne responds only with a nervous, guilty chuckle.
- Luanne lists her previous partners, in addition to the photo clerk, as Buckley, who died in "Propane Boom", and Rad and "Rad's ex-best-friend" from "The Wedding of Bobby Hill".
