- Nick and John seeing him play his saxophone for the whales out on his boat anchored off of Tuck Island is the first indication that anyone has of the return of former Gibsons resident Stuart Brody, better known as Halibut Stu. Nick and John end up spending the day with their eccentric old friend, who seems to spend his life playing music, drinking homemade wine and inventing things that have no real world use.

Stu is the last person to know. Relic has no problems taking their money and showing them where Stu is, no matter who they are. But when Nick and John tell Stu of the men, he doesn't tell them who the men are beyond not wanting to have anything to do with them, which means his immediate departure from these waters. Will the two suits or Stu get what they want in their immediate tasks?
- A storm has swept much debris into the area. There is some miscommunication on the issue, as before Nick and Jesse can clear the larger logs off the water, Graham and his friend Jenny, with Pat and Sara at the boat's helm, are water-skiing in the area. Hitting one of the logs, Jenny crashes and suffers what looks to be a serious injury, which requires a full body cast upon her admittance into the hospital. After Jenny initially feels sorry for herself about her situation, she learns from the doctor that she will most-likely regain full use of her upper body with physical therapy, but that she may never walk again. Jenny possibly being confined to a wheelchair brings up the issue of accessibility in all her old haunts. But as Jenny tries to cope with the news of her prognosis, Graham, Sara and Pat all deal with the issue of Jenny in a different way.

The question becomes whether the four can ever have a "normal" friendship again.
- Dana is making what she considers subtle but significant changes to The Reach in order to make it what she wants, not disrupt what the locals expect, and attract a larger tourist trade. Many of the regulars like the changes, but Relic is not one of them, he who is forthright to Dana in his criticisms. Regardless, Dana tries what she considers her best to accommodate Relic, a customer. Even with these changes, Dana decides to make one more only because many of the regulars treat the café like their own private club, staying hours on end just to hang out and drink bottomless cups of coffee. This last move irks many of the locals but is the last straw for Relic. Because she cannot tolerate what she considers his inconsiderate and rude behavior, Dana bans Relic from The Reach forever. Caught in the middle is Nick, who John and Jack appoint as mediator as he is perceived Dana's closest friend in Gibsons. After Nick speaks to both Dana and Relic, they both soften their stance slightly, but if Relic is to return to The Reach, it has to be on each their own terms, which may be a deal breaker for the two combatants.
- Jesse wants to pay off his new fishing boat as quickly as possible, meaning taking the boat out as often as possible when the fish are running. Jesse's problem is keeping a deck hand. Welk, his first deck hand, quits over a dispute with Jesse. Although Jesse in his single-minded pursuit does overwork Welk, Welk in turn is lazy. Jesse would like to take Tommy out, which he in return would love, but Laurel feels Tommy is still too young. John goes out with Jesse on one trip, but his day job as police corporal gets in the way. So Nick agrees to the job until Jesse can make more permanent arrangements. On Jesse and Nick's inaugural fishing trip together, they find they have a third, a stowaway, on board: Tommy. Nick finds that he's not well suited to the work. They decide to connect with Travis, another commercial fisherman who purchases cleaned fish for cash from other fishermen, and provide supplies. When he learns that Travis is heading to Nanaimo, Nick, who wants to head back to Gibsons and his other work while Jesse wants to stay out fishing for a few more days, figures it better to hitch a ride with Travis as opposed making Jesse go in. When Nick boards Travis' boat, what he is unaware of is that Travis' new deck hand, Welk, with the reluctant cooperation of the other more mild mannered deck hand, Bob, has taken over the boat in a mutiny. Welk had planned to set Travis on a skiff to fend for himself while he and Bob absconded with the boat and Travis' money to Mexico. With Nick now aboard, that alters Welk's plan to two aboard the skiff. The only person who may be able to save Nick and Travis is Jesse, who feels that something isn't quite right with his fellow fisherman.

Pat, Sara and Graham are able to find hard evidence of something illegal going on, including more dead fish and birds, and PCB contaminated underwater sand samples in various locations in the bay. But their discoveries are not without Leonard and Malik finding out that Jenny is still snooping around, Leonard who further threatens legal action against Sal, and criminal charges against Jenny and her friends. Undeterred, Jenny still proceeds and is able to find the source of the contamination with some help from Relic as the former owner of the property in question.

- Jesse is the only person excited to learn that he's won a contest, the prize being a freezer full of beef which should be able to feed his family for a year. His excitement turns to horror and his friends and family's indifference turns to amusement when he finds out that that freezer full of beef is still alive in the form of a live cow. Beyond the added cost of butchering the cow, Jesse learns that the butcher will not slaughter the cow, meaning that Jesse has to do it himself, or find someone to come out of the woodwork so to speak to do it for him. He does get a few offers from his friends to do the slaughtering, the cost of half the meat which he is willing to pay. The question becomes whether his friends are full of hot air. In addition, everyone seems not to know how to handle the cow, that is except for Sara, who bonds with who she names Emma. The problem becomes whether Jesse can now kill Emma, especially as Sara has vowed never to forgive him if he does.

She loves living in Gibsons, which is why she is distraught to learn that her mother is thinking about selling their house and moving the two of them to Vancouver, which she sees as providing them greater opportunity. Beyond the marine work which Pat cannot get to which he forwards to her, Jenny hopes to be able to provide for herself and her mother in Gibsons through other work. That other work becomes more important when Jenny learns that Pat could have done the work given to her, but that he was trying to give her a sense of self sufficiency. This revelation, which she considers charity, places a strain between her and her friends: Pat, Graham and Sara. The additional work which she does get is for Sal at the newspaper on a trial basis. The story on which she wants to work is the reason for the spate of dead fish found near the new development happening at Starlight Bay. When she reported what she saw to John, he found nothing upon investigation. But when the development lawyer threatens legal action if the newspaper prints anything libelous against them, which makes Sal more cautious, Jenny is more determined than ever to find out what's going on.

- Sara becomes enthralled by Mother Teresa and her work. Sara believes her imminent beatification justified. Nick tries to encourage Sara to do her small part in making the world a better place through everyday kindness to others. What Sara ends up doing is inviting Didee, a homeless woman she just met, to dinner and to stay with her, Nick, Jesse and Laurel in the spare bedroom. Nick, Jesse and Laurel are taken aback enough by the dinner invitation, let alone the open invitation to stay for as long as she wants. The differing value systems of Didee on one side, and Nick, Jesse and Laurel on the other are quickly evident, which causes some quietly antagonistic feelings on both sides. Caught in the middle is Sara, who is still trying to find the right thing to do. Meanwhile, John is trying to convince everyone to attend the police fund-raiser, the Mountie Stomp. Pat, in particular, takes John's challenge to heart. And using the Heimlich maneuver, Nick saves Relic from choking. Using his own values, Relic, not wanting to be indebted to anyone, offers Nick what he believes is fair compensation for saving his life. Nick on the other hand, wants other things from Relic.
- Sara's day, which is so far overwhelmed by work, takes a turn for the brighter with the arrival into The Reach of a new customer, an artist and musician named Wade Sheffield, just arrived into town by boat. She is immediately smitten with him, and he by her. She, however, is not the only person captivated by him, as everyone in The Reach falls under his spell, everyone that is except Nick, who sees something not quite right in his demeanor. The next day, while Laurel is at work at the bank when Nick and Jack are among its customers, the bank is held up by two armed and masked men, who manage to escape with $50,000. Among the witnesses, Nick is sure he knows the identity of one of the robbers based on the glistening of what he is certain is a diamond stud in the robber's left earlobe underneath his dark stocking mask, as the only person who fits that description in the area is Wade. Nick shares his opinion with John. As Sara is staunchly supportive of Wade, Nick's accusation could mean the end of their friendship if Nick is wrong. But if Nick is right, Sara hanging out with Wade could prove to be dangerous, especially if Wade learns of what Nick has told the police.
- While local bank manager Arthur Carruthers is away on business in Toronto, a suit named Morton Stanley from the regional office in Vancouver comes in in an acting manager capacity. One of his first orders of business as he sees is to seize the Persephone as he feels Nick has defaulted on his $8,000 loan by only paying interest on it, despite Nick having an agreement with Carruthers to do so when business is slow, such as now. Just as the bailiff Charlie is ordered to put the seizure notice on the Persephone, Nick manages to escape with his boat with a somewhat reluctant passenger, Pat, who just happened to be on the boat at the time. Relic, however, senses an opportunity and offers to buy the loan from the bank in order to put Nick out of business. Stanley agrees. This situation lays the framework for each person's task. Nick and Pat's task is to hide themselves and the boat from Stanley and Relic. Relic and city slicker Stanley's task is to find Nick and the Persephone. John's task is to uphold the law by finding Nick, but he who wants Relic and Stanley out of his way. Jesse's task is to see if he can raise the money to pay off the loan. And bank employee Laurel's task is to see if she can contact Carruthers in Toronto to override who she sees as her opportunistic and slimy temporary boss.
- Two people that are out on water are Dana, who is taking a pleasure sail alone on her boat, and Relic, who is transporting a boat to Powell River for two young men. Relic had no intention of taking this job until he saw the wad of cash they had and the large sum they are going to pay him for it: $2,000. What Relic is unaware of is that the two men are drug dealers. They needed someone to transport the drugs for them in case the drugs were found and seized by authorities. Once in Powell River, they, at gunpoint, plan to set Relic adrift on another boat for him to fend for himself, while they escape with their cache of drugs. However, while Relic is en route to Powell River, he picks up a stranded Dana, whose sailboat broke down. Relic and Dana's life may be placed in jeopardy as they approach Powell River, as the drug dealers will not let anyone get in their way.
- While on patrol in his car, John hears the cries of babies. He is surprised to find that the sound is coming from the back seat, where he finds two newborn baby girls. According to the note left with the babies, their names are Amanda and Amy. The note further states that the unnamed mother, who met John briefly a few times and who he remembers but does not really know, is entrusting the babies to his care until she can land her feet, since her deadbeat husband abandoned them. As John doesn't consider the babies to be abandoned, he plans on taking care of them until she reclaims them. Based on the information, Laurel believes the mother is a young woman who works as a cook at the summer camp. Upon Nick and Jesse investigating, Laurel's assumption is correct: she is Wendy Turner, who is trying to earn money to raise the kids properly. Meanwhile, Wendy's husband, Roddy Turner, comes through town looking for his wife and kids. He states that he was a scared kid himself when the babies came, but now is ready to be the responsible husband and father. Only Wendy can surmise whether or not Roddy has indeed turned over a new leaf. While Wendy contemplates getting back with Roddy, Joe contemplates rekindling an old romance with a woman named Sparkles who he has not seen or heard from in thirty years. What may stop him from meeting her again is that he is afraid that she may have lost her sparkle. And John, who is supposed to be looking after his mother's prized cat Puss Puss, may have a problem in that Nick kicked Puss Puss out of the house because of the babies, Puss Puss who is now running loose.
- John is looking for an out of the way recreational property to buy to get away from his work stresses. Relic has a friend who has a small A-frame house on acreage he wants to sell. As such, the two are planning on taking a drive out to see it in the police cruiser. What Relic is unaware of is that John has asked Nick and Jesse to come along as a second and third pair of eyes. Relic isn't very happy as he believed he would have been able to con John, but he isn't able to con all three as when they eventually arrive at the very, very, very out of the way property off on a dangerous mountainous dirt road, the house in question is a run down shack, which John has no intention of purchasing. However, on their way down the mountain, the cruiser runs into mechanical difficulties, which results in it and them being perched precariously on the side of the cliff. In the accident, Nick sustains a sprained ankle, while Relic sustains a head injury, which results in a form of amnesia, where he reverts to his childhood. As such, Jesse and John are tasked with heading down the mountain on foot to flag down help, although John is more preoccupied about what he will eventually tell his supervisor about why he was off on a mountain road in the cruiser. But their task is easier than Nick's, he who has to look after childlike Relic, who is more to handle than adult Relic.
- Following a telephone cable where it shouldn't be, Relic comes across a young teen named Jordan Smith, nicknamed Silicon, hiding behind the Reach. He is a boarding school runaway and computer expert, that telephone cable which is hooked up to his personal computer. Relic doesn't turn him in as he becomes Relic's unofficial partner. Relic recently lost some work to Nick and Jesse with Woodchuck Lumber, who, using a new computer system, relays the location of stray logs for Nick and Jesse to pick up. Hacking into their computer system, Silicon is able to provide the log locations to Relic before Nick and Jesse arrive on the scene. But Relic is unaware of Silicon's other computer passion, namely developing a computer game. Wanting it to be based on the real life activities of beachcombers, Silicon uses Relic, Nick and Jesse - all without their knowledge - to test out the game scenarios, some which may have disastrous results if what Silicon plans on programming into the game doesn't happen in real life.
- The local craft fair is the first that anyone in town has seen one of the vendors, a woman going only by the name of Ariel. She is a free spirit, who lives by the rhythms of the Earth which means being nomadic and living in a tent as she doesn't believe in being confined by walls, and who believes in the power of spiritual energy. Nick is immediately captivated by her, especially as her holistic healing is able to cure his sprained wrist which the doctor has not been able to do. As time progresses, Nick abandons all else to spend time with her. However, based on a talisman Pat purchases from her which is followed by a series of bad luck, Jack is able to convince both Pat and Graham that Ariel is a witch. Although not going quite that far, Jesse also believes that Ariel is bad news. Beyond specifically Pat and Graham trying to find out more about her in an effort to prove their belief about her to Nick, the shelf-life of a Nick/Ariel relationship may be limited based on Ariel's basic "butterfly" nature despite their mutual feelings for each other which may be described as love.
- The latest letter the gang receives from Molly states among other things that someone local has placed a bid on The Reach, who that someone is she does not know. Relic deduces that the only person besides him who has that sort of money is Sal. Relic is able to wrangle out of Sal that she is indeed the bidder, and plans to bulldoze the café and build high end condos in its place. As she won't cut him in on the action, Relic decides to start a rumor that the new owners, whoever they may be, are planning on tearing down the café. John comes up with an idea of getting the town council to declare The Reach a heritage building. Council in turn agrees to the proposal only if the café still can generate revenue by picking up more business than it currently has. As such, Relic switches allegiances back to Sal, telling her he will drive away business from The Reach if she cuts him in as full partner. Sal relents and agrees to Relic's proposal. Relic's plan is to work at The Reach, with people who won't be able to see what he's up to. He will be rude and lie about food and service to customers. Relic is able to carry out his plan to onlooker Sal's satisfaction, but will it have its intended result?
- Everyone in town is enthralled with Molly's latest novel, which is a fictional account of life in Gibsons. They are so enthralled that they lose track of their regular day to day duties. Each is most excited by the larger than life depiction of the character who is based on him or herself. Their excitement grows when Hollywood director Mr. Palooka and his assistant Whitney come into town, they who are making a movie of the book and who seem to want to use the local person upon who the character is based to portray that character. As such, each person tries to act the way they see their self portrayed in the book. So they all happily sign the contract that Palooka places in front of them, all except Nick, who sees that the contract is not all it seems on the surface. When Nick convinces them all that they have basically signed their life away to Palooka, they have to come up with a way to regain their life back from him. They get some unexpected support in the matter.
- Jack is dressed to the nines, and in his own world, as he is planning to meet his long love, Constance Bourne.

As Relic refuses to drive Jack to his date with Constance on his boat, Jack steals Relic's boat. Fearing for his safety, the group organizes a search for Jack, the problem being not knowing where to look besides Constance's grave site. John feels a strategic geographic approach is required, whereas Nick decides that he will use what little information he knows about Jack and Constance to do a more methodical approach. Relic, who is more concerned about the personal property of his boat, tags along with Nick. But it's an unusual clue that Pat finds finds in Jack's warehouse about Constance in combination with information from Blackie Bowman, the man who now lives in Constance's old cabin, that may provide the answer to where Jack has gone, and whether there is any sanity to his seeming madness.
- Gibsons' Sea Cavalcade is upcoming. While Laurel, Sara and Tommy prepare Molly's Reach's float for the parade, John, Nick, Jesse and Pat practice for the cavalcade's centerpiece this year, the water soccer game between the volunteer fire department and the team led by John. Laurel has some problems as the theme of the float requires John, Nick, Jesse and Pat to be on the float which they refuse to do since they need to practice for the water soccer game. Laurel think she's got an innovative solution. And John's team may not require all that extra practice if only because the firemen's team is down one man, and they ask the only person they know to fill in, Relic, who does so only on one condition. After all is said done, real life may make who wins the game a moot point.
- A motorcycle gang called the Devil's Disciples has just purchased some farmland in the area. Individual locals have differing reactions to the group, who have not done anything wrong. Sal, through editorials, has taken it upon herself to rid the area of the gang, using such tactics as mobilizing businesses not to sell to any member of the gang. Tommy, who has gone swimming on the Disciples' newly acquired property in the past, meets Emma, the young adult daughter of the head of the gang, Freddie. For Tommy, it's love at first sight. And John, who is on holidays, has just spent all his vacation money on a Harley-Davidson, his first motorcycle. He is a novice rider, and gets assistance with his new bike from the members of the Disciples, they who he has not told he is a policeman. The fact that Emma is to be married in the next couple of days leads to a series of events which clarifies whether the Disciples will be good neighbors or the scourge of the Earth that Sal believes them to be.
- Teenager Jordon Cooper has arrived in Gibsons to do some long distance swimming training in the open water in the pursuit of swimming the much more difficult Bay of Fundy. She is in town with her coach father, Derek Cooper, who dictates every aspect of his daughter's life. Jordon used to be a competitive sprinter, but always finishing second or third in races made her father believe that long distances was a winning approach. It is unclear whether Jordon achieving this goal is more her desire, if at all, or her father's, and if the latter if he is using her solely through which to live vicariously. Regardless, they run into a difference in wants as she befriends Graham, Pat and Sara, the former in particular who is attracted to her. As such, she wants to hang out with her new friends rather than train, which is all Derek wants her to do. As such, Derek has a few run ins specifically with Graham and Pat, from who he want Jordon to stay away. But during their stay in Gibsons, both Jordon and Derek may come to the realization that, although setting goals and trying to achieve them to the best of one's abilities are important, other things in life may trump those goals.

The four man crew - who Nick and Jesse later learn are Captain Chong Ling, his two adult nephews Ming and Wah, and his adult niece Lin - are suffering from dehydration and exposure. Their story: they are part of a Chinese fishing expedition that got separated from the rest of the fleet in a storm. Both Nick and Relic do not fully buy the story as there is no sign of fishing equipment on board the junk, but there is diving equipment. Relic believes the worst: that they are modern day pirates. With John and Coast Guard official Danny Lee on the case, Nick is not overly concerned whatever their true motive for being in the area. But when the Chinese take off unexpectedly, John, Danny, Nick and Jesse try to locate them so that they can get the true story, while Relic does whatever he can to raid them of whatever loot he believes they may have or will pilfer.

This sentimental favorite status is despite the antagonistic first meeting the Pauline Johnson's captain, Anna, has with Nick, Jesse and Relic. What everyone is unaware of is that Sal has ulterior motives for wanting the Kydaka to win: she is a member of that syndicate. She figures if the Kydaka wins, sailors from around the world will be clamoring for sister boats to the Kydaka for the upcoming Victoria to Maui race. She confides in Relic, who she wants to conduct a little sabotage on the Pauline Johnson in turn for a small cut in the profits. Will Relic be able to pull off Sal's wants?
- Nick is helping John with a case of cargo ship thefts, the latest of microchips, which they believe are being smuggled out of the country. Nick would have a better handle on where the smugglers may be hiding along the coast. Meanwhile, Sam, while skateboarding, gets into an accident with Relic, destroying Relic's $1,000 sonar device. Sam makes an agreement with Relic to work the $1,000 debt off. Sam's first job, on which he takes his camera for some shots for a photo essay, is an on-land salvage mission with Relic up the coast.

Nick initially believes that Pat was run over, but soon learns that Pat is stone cold drunk and he fell out of the car an equally drunk Graham was driving. Pat is all right physically otherwise. Nick is able to stop Graham and take his car keys before he hurts anyone else. Nick chastises Pat for his behavior, but sees it nothing more that Pat being a typical teen-aged boy. The next day, Pat misses a job interview because he's hung over, but isn't too hung over to go out partying with his friends again. This time, it is a house party to which good girl Sara is also going. While Sara tries to abstain from drinking, she who has no interest in it, Pat, Graham and their friends feel they need alcohol to have a good time.

They come across a wreck, which surprises Nick as there is no known wreck in the dive area. Pat and Graham believe they have the potential to become rich if indeed the wreck is not one that has been claimed. Nick tries to help them with the red tape. That tape ends up being an obstacle as there is among other issues a one year waiting period to claim. In the meantime, Pat and Graham are not allowed to remove anything from the wreck. However, Relic believes that he can get rich by Pat and Graham's find as Graham had brought up an abalone shell from the wreck. Relic wants them to harvest as much abalone as they can, which Pat and Graham are unaware is illegal as they have no license.

This bungle not only causes a professional problem for John and Fernley, but also Graham. Believing it to be a sample of the gall bladders, Brink took Graham's locked case containing Graham's eagle droppings which he needs to get analyzed within 36 hours or they become useless. And Graham is forced to complete the sting on another meeting with the targets later that day. As Graham works with Fernley, the plot becomes more and more complicated, but also uncovers some information of a personal nature which may make it difficult for Graham to complete this task.
- Laurel has just had an interview for a promotion at the bank, the interview which she believes went terribly. On top of that, she is feeling under-appreciated at home as she is forced to work at The Reach as Jesse and Sara go off on their own personal tasks. So she receives a boost in morale when she receives a letter from her band requesting that she apply for a job as band finance manager. If she gets the job and accepts it, that would mean she would have to move back to the reserve. Although she and Jesse have always talked about one day moving back to the reserve so that Tommy could learn more about his ethnic heritage, Jesse always assumed that reserve would be his and not hers. He feels that he will always be seen as riding on her coattails if he accompanies her, while she feels the need to have some say in what happens in their future beyond what Jesse directs. This impasse may be a marriage breaker unless one or the other changes their mind, and/or if her job situation changes.

It ends up being the active but junior part owner of a run down laundromat. The active part includes being able to make whatever renovations wanted. Although originally not interested, Pat decides to put all his resources into the venture including using his boat as collateral for the bank loan for the down payment. But he requires private investors to make the renovations he wants, namely for social items such as an espresso bar and video games. Nick invests if only to show support for Pat. Relic also invests as a silent partner, but one with steep terms. Pat enlists Sara and Graham's help in the necessary legwork, despite both having much on their respective plates with regard to schoolwork. And Sara suggests a mutual benefit scenario as her art school colleague Xavier is putting together an exhibit on the theme "dirty laundry" which Pat allows to be held at the laundromat for its grand opening. But Pat learns the hard way that there is more to running a successful business than just the cosmetics. Meanwhile, helping Pat has reunited Sara and Graham, who haven't seen each other since they both moved to the city. Lonely, they both explore a potential relationship with each other, which was never evident while they were friends in Gibsons.
- A young woman by the name of Carla Maloff is visiting Gibsons for the first time. When she meets Nick, she is up front with him that meeting him was the reason for her trip, as her mother, Sonia Maloff, speaks often about him, the two who met and last saw each other over twenty years ago when Nick was passing through Sonia's home town of Hazel Ridge, Manitoba. Carla implies that she'd like to stay in Gibsons for as long as her meager funds will allow, which leads to Laurel offering her a short term position and board at The Reach. Nick isn't concerned about what seems to be Carla's obsession with him, until Carla's true motive for the visit eventually comes to light. Nick has to help her come to grips with her misunderstanding about his personal connection to her, and help her deal with an issue in her personal life about which she is in denial. Meanwhile, Pat has developed a computer program as a matchmaking service which he is trying to market to potential lonelyhearts, such as John and Sara.
- Ted and Constable John approach midlife crisis with different approaches. Ted looks to recapture his days of youth and John look to the future and possibly marrying the woman in his life.
- Gibsons city council has approved Sara's idea of an annual Founder's Day event, but for this first one they have provided little money, meaning that it has to be done on a shoestring. Despite the lack of budget, Nick and the gang are planning among other things a parade, a fair in which they will highlight rhubarb in unique new uses as town founder George Gibson was a commercial rhubarb grower, and have a George Gibson lookalike act as honorary mayor for the day. The choice of the honorary mayor will be done through a contest held through the newspaper. The planning for this event coincides with the unexpected visit into town of Jane Carmichael, a renowned travel writer who has made or broken the tourist trade in many other such towns. Because of the way the planning is going, the townsfolk have to decide whether to go ahead with the event at the possible risk of its failure and thus the demise of their tourist trade. Other things that may negatively affect Jane's perception of Gibsons are Relic, who is going through his own issues with Gibsons city council, and the person who ends up being chosen honorary mayor for the day.
- Dressed as Santa Claus, Nick travels to the distant islands to convey presents yet a mishap undermines to change things.
- Kelly is an 11-year-old boy who keeps running away from foster homes that are not accepting of his pet otter Kate. Convinced that his father, missing for two years in a small plane accident will one day return, Kelly stays on the run lugging Kate around in a pet carrier. The episode opens with Kelly wandering around the docks at Gibsons telling Kate that they'll soon find a boat in which "some yazbo" has left the ignition keys. Kelly actually finds a boat with the engine running and is soon under way. Owners Max and Susie report the missing boat to Constable John at the Reach where Nick suggests they offer up a reward of $250 to ensure its recovery. Relic suggests an amount of $300 which is enough to get him on the case. Relic catches up with Kelly and the boat and demands the reward money from Max and Susie. John Constable has to attend to a serious accident and leaves Kelly with Nick. Upon learning that his father most likely perished in the place crash, Kelly plans to talk off again. Nick, John and social worker Mary Ross try to find Kelly a stable home where Kate will also be accepted.
- Nick rescues a sailor suffering from amnesia who is a hair for sailing across the Pacific Ocean by himself. However, Relic suspects the sailor's story might not be truthful.
- Tommy and Sam are going through the initiation process to join a boys club called the Night Flyers, led by Patrick, who most of the adults know as a troublemaker. Of late, John has noticed an increase in mischief - primarily vandalism - which is probably largely attributed to Patrick. Although the things that Tommy and Sam are asked to do for the initiation would hurt friends and family, Sam in particular is willing to go through with them since he is still trying to find his place in Gibsons, which includes making new friends whoever they may be. Each initiation task becomes more hurtful. The questions become whether Sam will come to the realization that the initiation is not worth the friendship of such boys before he gets into some real legal trouble, and if he does what he will do about it.
- Nick has entered a new mellow phase of his life, where not even the antics of Relic in their professional competition bother him anymore. But Nick's mellow phase is short lived by a visit from his accountant, who tells him that most of his business deductions have been disallowed, meaning that he now owes taxes in the amount of $3,683, money he doesn't have. Meanwhile, Relic is going through changes of his own. Gibsons is quickly changing around him - growing up so to speak - and he no longer feels he is a part of it, and that he is beginning to be somewhat invisible. As such, he decides to turn over a new leaf by actually being nice to people, especially his long time acquaintances. Among his supposed good deeds are offering Nick an assistant manager job at the marina to help him with his financial issues, and offering Jesse and John a fancy speedboat at a reduced rental for their long planned fishing outing. The questions become whether these actions are Relic being a truly good person without ulterior motives, and if so how long this new Relic will stick around.
- A man by the name of Giles Hope has the Gibsons marina behind fencing and around the clock security protection. Apparently, a now absent Smitty lost the marina in a Reno casino bet, Hope, on behalf of the casino, who is the new owner and thus landlord. He will only provide access to the marina and the boats moored there to those people who were not in arrears to Smitty. The problem is that Smitty's records are spotty. As the police, John is allowed access. Nick, Jesse, Pat and Jack are among those not permitted access. And Relic is still in his shack, meaning that he is behind the fencing, and conversely cannot get out without giving up his right to return. Further, Hope plans on selling the boats belonging to those in arrears to recoup those outstanding debts. The problem for Nick is that his payment in full records are on his boat. As such, he plans on stealing his boat. He has many problems in carrying out this plan. First, John cannot find out as it would place him between a rock and a hard place. Second, Sam wants to do whatever he can to help, and does whatever he can to help against the wishes of the adult figures in his life. If Sam is able to accomplish what he wants, it would place a strain between Nick and Dana. And third, Nick's plan requires the assistance of Relic, which more often than not cannot be counted upon. Nick is hoping that Relic will agree to help if Nick also steals his boat, which means that Hope can't sell it. What Nick is unaware of is that Relic has his own plan which may be incompatible with Nick's own.
- Pat has been putting off many of his jobs in preparation for writing his final exam for the five month long correspondence business course he has been taking, the exam and final course results which he believes are bad. Those jobs include refurbishing Ted's boat which Nick encouraged him to buy for possible commercial ventures such as charters, and fixing John's motor. Those jobs seem to go by the wayside when Pat receives the results: he passed with flying colors. Pat has a stereotypical outlook on the life of a white collar businessman, which he now believes he is: they don't have grease under their fingernails, and all play golf, which is a sport reserved solely for their kind. Pat believes the world is his oyster, he who wants to get specifically into real estate. But when he discovers that people in Gibsons still see him solely as the marine grease monkey, he decides to move to Vancouver, where he can start his professional life anew without those perceptions. Getting that multi-million dollar business break in the city is more difficult than Pat realized, while that self-important talk to his friends and family has made them get on with those jobs which seem no longer part of his life... that is until he realizes that he still needs to make a living in the meantime. Something will have to happen to light a fire under Pat to get him to get back to his old work or truly move on with his life in a constructive way in a new direction.
- With an end goal to help Molly getting more fit, Nick and his companions go on a wellness kick.
- Sam is the latest person to hear Jack's oft told tale of the fire of 1906, the other locals who know the story by heart as they've heard it so often. One component of the story is Potter's treasure, a supposed treasure buried by the Potter family but never found after their demise/departure from the area. Most of the locals have looked for it in their life to no avail. Meanwhile, it's Dana's birthday and Sam, wanting to use money he's earned but which he doesn't have since no one will give him a job, wants to buy his mother something nice, especially as she is particularly down since it is her first birthday with only her and Sam. As he knows Sam won't accept a loan or a hand out, Nick thinks that he and Jack can concoct a plan to bury one of the many nice antique items from Jack's warehouse, and lead Sam to it in the guise of it being Potter's treasure. They don't want to tell anyone what they are up to, as the more people know, the more likely Sam will find out it's a hoax. However, with all this secret activity happening, some come to the belief that Nick and Sam truly are digging for Potter's treasure, and want to beat them to the punch.
- Pat feels he is without companions when he catches wind of and finds a depressed pontoon. Nobody appears to have room schedule-wise to help Pat raise the vessel for rescue and he should achieve where it counts inside himself to locate the essential assets to carry out the activity all alone; along these lines grasping his own particular creating adulthood.
- Despite none of them knowing anything about the game, Nick has formed a cricket team - the Gibsons Giants - with the sole purpose of playing against the Sechelt Senators, captained by officious Brit, Ashley Putney III, who, along with his team takes the game very seriously. The one person on Nick's team who seems to have a natural talent as a batsman is Sam. Their first practice coincides with the return into town of Dana, who has brought along Sam's cousin, Billy, for a week long visit. Dana did not tell Sam this news beforehand as she knows that Sam does not like Billy. To put it more precisely, Sam is ashamed of Billy, who has Down Syndrome. What further irks Sam is that he believes his mother always sides with Billy against him. Sam does whatever he can not to associate with Billy during his stay. But one mean and self serving move too many by Sam makes Billy run away, despite Billy really wanting to be Sam's friend. Billy's disappearance coincides with the cricket match, which makes Sam have to make some decisions about what is important in his life.
- Sara, who is making her annual trek to commune with nature by spending some time to paint in her grandfather's run down cabin located in the forest on Putnam Island, is dismayed to learn that Graham wants to work for WestCom, the logging company on which his father is a board member. Graham, who is an environmentalist, believes he can do more good from the inside as the company's environmental consultant. He however finds that the company has no intention of hiring for such a position, and he doesn't want his father to pull strings for him. Ted, however, does speak to the board, and Graham is hired as WestCom's environmental consultant. But Graham's dealing with the operations manager, Jim Briggs, is less than harmonious. Graham quickly learns that WestCom as a company agreed to Ted's proposal solely to put a good face on the company, which had no plans to do any environmental stewardship, and continue with its clear cutting ways, and that Ted knew about all of WestCom's plans. They plan to clear cut Putnam - which is old growth - which had long been proposed as a nature reserve. WestCom intends to take as much timber as possible before the nature reserve transition process is completed. Sara learns of WestCom's intentions to clear cut, she who does whatever required to stop them, including illegal activity. Graham has to figure how best to support his environmental goals, whether it be from the inside or out. And the more personal problem is the strain their individual actions may cause between Graham and Ted. Meanwhile, Nick and Relic are having a disagreement about Relic's want to move Nick from his long time moorage spot on the marina.
- After the Reach is broken into several times, a local police officer moves in with the Battles for added security but things soon become complicated.
- Jesse has had it. He feels that following 15 years he merits more regard from Nick than jst being dealt with as an 'enlisted hand'. Scratch is perplexed, especially when Jesse disssolves the association. Could Nick offer some kind of reparation before Jesse unites with Relic?
- After many failed attempts when he was younger, Sam now believes he is mature enough to have a pet, more specifically a dog. Dana refuses. Later, Sam finds among the items in Jack's warehouse an old weather-vane, this type which Jack calls a weirdlyworks. Jack truly believes it has magical powers - it can predict back luck or good luck - and thus is happy for Sam to take it away. Sam also believes in the weirdlyworks' powers, as its predictions of bad or good luck seem to be coming true, most specifically for "good luck" Nick, and "bad luck" John. But Sam is particularly convinced when the weirdlyworks points him toward finding a seemingly abandoned dog, which Sam names Skeletor. Dana initially allows Sam to keep Skeletor overnight, a decision which she soon regrets as beyond Sam, Skeletor seems to have it in for everyone else. Although Dana seems to be softening to the idea of keeping Skeletor if only because Sam truly is taking care of him, the decision on Skeletor's future may be placed into someone else's hands.
- Dana and Sam are still adjusting to small town life in Gibsons, compared to their former life in Toronto. Dana wants Sam to experience all that Gibsons has to offer in terms of outdoor activities. She is, however, somewhat reluctant but ultimately agreeable when Sam wants to go on a day fishing trip with Tommy. Nick convinces Dana that although only eleven, Tommy knows the waters and is smart enough to know what he should and should not do. Dana's anxiety about the boys being out on the water is raised again when an elderly tourist couple, George and Mildred, stop in The Reach, he who is an ex-marine meteorologist. He states that there is a small craft warning, and although clear in town, that there is definitely a storm on the horizon. Despite George and Mildred being an obviously over-the-top cautious couple in every aspect of their life, Dana, who is assured by locals that the warning means little for where Tommy and Sam would be fishing, will still be anxious until Sam comes home, whenever that may be. She is also anxious about some news she has to pass along to Sam from home, which in combination with the fishing trip is making her reflect on whether it was a smart move to relocate to Gibsons from Toronto. Meanwhile, hypochondriac Relic believes he's dying from what most think is a bee sting.
- It's Christmas, and the festive holiday mood has hit most of the regulars of Molly's Reach as demonstrated by them being aboard the caroling ship which is circling the harbor. There are a few people however who are retreating from the Christmas holidays. One of those seemingly is Coug McCoy who came into town from his remote cabin to pick up supplies, but who, behind closed doors, is celebrating Christmas in his own special way. Another is Relic who is his old crotchety self, he who wants to get as far away from the caroling as possible. And yet another is a young couple, Joel and Jessica Turner, who came to Gibsons from Vancouver for Christmas to get away from their traditional family obligations. They purchased a boat to do so, despite Joel not being either marine or mechanically inclined. His lack of aptitude in these areas become problems when the boat breaks down out on the water while a just over eight months pregnant Jessica goes into labor. Even if Joel knew how to operate the radio, it may be difficult to contact anyone with most in town being preoccupied on the caroling ship.
- Brandon Lewis is new to Tommy's class. He and his widowed father, Cliff Lewis, an unemployed engineer, live on a boat moored in the marina, which allows them to move easily from place to place as Cliff looks for work. Cliff seems overly protective of Brandon from everything outside of their small two person world. In trying to help them, Sara suggests that Cliff may be able to help Nick with a small immediate job as Jesse is out of town. An insurance company is paying $5,000 for the recovery of a missing barge which got lost during a recent storm. Of all the people in town, Nick is the only person who knows the barge's location, but can't tow it in on his own as it's grounded on some rocks in a out of the way cove. Cliff agrees to the job, leaving Brandon at The Reach with Sara and Tommy. Cliff may regret taking the job for two reasons: the unknown cargo aboard the barge in combination with what is waiting back at Gibsons for him and Brandon.
- Nick faces the prospect of losing the Persephone in an auction.
- While Pat is helping Nick with his latest contract - making regular trips to Blubber Bay towing barges filled with vegetable oil - he misses another contract as Donna Lansing with Omega Chemicals, which has been doing some stream restoration work in conjunction with an environmental group called Clear Streams, wants to release salmon fry into a newly restored stream in the area. As such, Relic wrangles the Omega contract for himself. The plan for Donna and Relic to release the fry hits a snag when they learn from DFO that there is something toxic in the waters off Blubber Bay that is killing pockets of fish in the area. When Donna goes with Relic to investigate, she finds a green liquid floating on the surface, which she recognizes as a chemical toxic to fish as well as humans. She saw it coming from the Persephone and/or the barge, which implicates Nick and Pat as the culprits of illegal dumping. With help from John and others, Nick and Pat have to figure out what's going on with the Blubber Bay contract so that they can restore their good names.

- Pat hopes to profit just to have everything turn terrible in an unforeseen way.
- Relic receives a $2,500 bill from the federal government. Upon hearing the words "computer generated" about the bill, Relic believes he's got a way out of paying: by calling his former partner in crime, high school computer whiz, Jordan 'Silicon' Smith. By hacking into his boarding school's computer, Silicon is able to manufacture a lie which allows him to ditch school and visit his old friend Relic. Upon his arrival in Gibsons, Silicon is easily able to fix Relic's problem, which ended up actually being a computer error. With nothing else to do, Silicon decides to help Relic in other ways, namely by hacking into the computer system which handles the salvage contracts, all of which have just gone to Nick and Jesse. When Nick hears that one of their contracts has been revoked since it was a computer error, Nick, upon seeing Silicon with Relic, knows how that error was created. Nick decides to fight computer whiz with computer whiz as he hires equally young and talented Kimberley Blake, although she admits she is no match for Silicon. Kimberley has to find a way to outwit Silicon at his own game.
- Hugh is traveling with the "Persephone" to recover trunks. In this activity, he is teased by a few young non-stewards from rich parents who rush by in a jet-boat.

- The Persephone runs on solid land and Samantha twists up stuck underneath the body.
- Jesse is painting his deck and dock. On Nick's advice, Jesse contemplates buying a paint sprayer to make the job easier, but he doesn't have enough money. That's why Jesse can't pass up Relic's offer, he who is willing to sell some old paint he has lying around at reduced price, which will allow Jesse to buy the paint sprayer. Jesse immediate regrets doing so as Relic's paint is causing him more problems than it was worth. Regardless, Jesse contemplates asking Tommy to help him, if solely to keep Tommy's mind off of missing his best friend Jason, who has just moved away. But Tommy has a much needed other distraction in the form of a stray dog, who he's named Harry. Frankie at the animal shelter allows Tommy to keep the dog as she's pretty sure it has no owner. Sooner thereafter, Jesse shows signs of having an allergic reaction to something, that something determined to be Harry after allergy tests are conducted. Jesse is heartbroken to have to tell Tommy that he can no longer keep Harry. But Tommy may have other thoughts to Jesse's news.
- It's a dark and stormy night. John's expectation to play Clue with his friends ends up being a bust due to miscommunication and other issues arising. Jack, Molly and Sal are heading off to play bingo for the evening, Jesse is taking Sara to the movies, and Nick has a last minute work issue in cleaning up a log boom. Alone at the Reach with his beloved board game, playing it which he believes makes him a better policeman, John quickly falls asleep and begins to dream. His dream is that he is an Inspector with more under his hat than usual, he who has been called by an anonymous person to solve the Clue-like suspected murder of Captain Chutney. There is, however, yet no body. He heads to the home of Professor Orange, where all the suspects happen to be for the evening. Each of the suspects has motive, access to a murder weapon, and access to a secluded room in Professor Orange's house to commit the murder. Will the brilliant Inspector's keen sense of deduction lead him to the killer, if indeed there is one?
- A young penniless Greek man with an easy-going charm named Alekos Mykonos has come to Gibsons looking for his grandfather, and asks Nick, as the resident Greek, about his grandfather's whereabouts. What little Nick knows is that Alekos' grandfather used to live in Gibsons but moved away about five years ago to parts unknown. Alekos uses his Greek sensibilities to earn a little money while he's in Gibsons, such as doing odd jobs for Nick and those at The Reach, but it's one of his side ventures that could cause a problem for his new friends. Beyond this issue, Nick eventually learns that Alekos is in the country illegally, he being a ship jumper. He and Sara have to convince Alekos that the best way to locate his grandfather is through legal means, as if immigration catches up with him before he returns to the ship, he will be deported and probably never allowed back into the country, which means he will never be able to reconnect with his grandfather, wherever he may be in Canada.
- Pat is working several jobs. What he doesn't initially tell anyone, but what he eventually tells Nick, is that he plans on using the money to refurbish what was designed as a work boat into a racing boat. For Pat, the boat represents his transition into manhood, as he feels the adults still treat him like a kid. The word of Pat's plan does eventually get out, which doesn't sit well with Relic, as Pat already owes him $100. As a result, Relic and Pat make a wager on a race of their two boats. If Pat wins, Relic will forgo the $100. If Relic wins, Pat still has to pay, but he will also turn over the boat to Relic. The race becomes more to Pat than just the money and the sign that he truly is a man, as he tries to impress a pretty girl. But with a little help from Nick, Pat learns there is more to being a man than just having a fast boat.
- Whenever it suits his schedule and as long as he can make money, Relic has been providing boat tours showing Gibsons from the water. His tour guide descriptions are filled with half and exaggerated truths, as well as downright lies. He thinks he has the potential to make a bundle when a British couple, Lord Roger and Lady Pamela, want him to provide an extended tour for them. To do so, he "borrows" old Stewart's ferry as it's he only vessel big enough, and he coerces Sal to come along as a classy companion who will be able to speak the Lord and Lady's language. Relic won't say where they're going, calling it a mystery tour, but Nick thinks that's a bad idea as Stewart's ferry may get into problems if it hits rough waters. Relic may have regretted his decision not to tell anyone where they were going as he may need someone to save him from the hell that the trip ends up being for him. John may provide that salvation, he who is looking for Relic for his own ulterior motives.
- Now that Jesse and Laurel have moved into The Reach, their houseboat is sitting empty. Jesse doesn't want to sell it, but feels uncomfortable about renting it out to strangers. On Nick's advice, Jesse decides to speak to Pat to see if he and Jack would like to rent it at more than a fair price as he would rather have people he trusts in the houseboat than make a fortune from the rental. Pat loves the idea, especially as it is a much nicer place at a lower cost than their current rental. However, when Pat talks to Jack, Jack refuses to move, in part as he sees Jesse's offer as charity. So Pat takes some actions which he feels will force Jack to move with him, including forging Jack's signature on the rental agreement with Jesse. Once Jack gets wind of what Pat has been doing, they get into a stalemate. Neither can afford to live on their own and each brings a specific skill set to their living arrangement together. Although Nick and Jesse intervene as mediators between Pat and Jack, what Pat and Jack end up doing in terms of their living situation may depend on who can outmaneuver the other.
- While out gathering logs from a log spill on his own, Nick runs into a boat in seeming distress. The three man crew - Phil, Richard and Clare - are all right but their rented boat is having engine problems. While Nick tries to help them fix their engine, he sees their cargo and understands why they didn't call for help: they're drug smugglers. Nick is able to radio in a partial cryptic message before Phil realizes what Nick is up to, and holds him hostage. As the smugglers see an approaching boat - Relic - they warn Nick to get rid of him or else. Nick tries to relay a coded message to Relic and hopes that Relic understands before he heads off. With their rented boat still inoperable, Phil decides to drop Nick off on a deserted island so that they can escape. Meanwhile, Jesse and John, worried about Nick after receiving his partial message, go out looking for him. Will they or Relic find him, and will the smugglers get away with their stash and Nick's boat?

Fed up with living at the senior's boarding house, Duffy figured that living with Lorrie a better option. However, Duffy hasn't seen his son in close to twenty years, when Lorrie, then a hippie, got married. But after Lorrie inherited a fortune from his grandmother, he has since built a house on his private island. Jesse refuses this job because of its cargo as he and Duffy aren't on the best of terms, so John decides to be Nick's second in command. Because of Duffy's ever complaining attitude and behavior, Nick also regrets taking this job by the time they reach the island. But Duffy too may regret the trip when he sees that Lorrie has not changed at all in twenty years, that the house is nothing more than a shack with no running water, and that Lorrie's dream house - a pyramid - is a long way from being completed if it ever gets done. They also find that life between Lorrie and his wife Mo is not totally harmonious, as she long outgrew her hippie beliefs, and finds that Lorrie is as much a child that needs to be taken care of as any of her and Lorrie's biological children. The question becomes what will happen with this new extended Bingham family in all its disharmony.
