Billy's final leg begins in Virginia on the trail of bootleggers dealing in moonshine before he hears the story of the amazing woman who led hundreds of slaves to their freedom. He stops off at a farm where he encounters bizarre heads of all the US presidents, learns about the opioid crisis - the biggest epidemic in American history - and visits the backroom of flamboyant designer Manuel Cuuevas, who was responsible for dressing rock stars including Elvis, Cher and the Beatles. The comedian's tour finally ends in Nashville at the home of country music, the Grand Ole Opry
