For Elvis fans according to this episode, it's something special in his music that has helped them through the most difficult times of their life, a soulful way of getting to the heart. Anthony and the women take a drive to Graceland thanks to Charlene winning a contest, and even for the cynical Julia, she meets a lonely truck driver who expresses what Elvis means to him, giving her a special gift as a way of thanking her for listening.
There's not much of a plot here, just a bit of slice of life drama mixed with a little bit of comedy and the exposure of certain members of the press who want to exploit Elvis fans as nuts. Of course, Charlene is the most excited by the situation, but Julia is the most affected by the trip. The trucker she briefly befriends is presented as sweetly profound, and it shows another side of Julia we rarely see. Maybe dated now as the Elvis cult dwindles, but perfect for Elvis retrospectives and tributes on his birthday.
