'''A Plot:''' When The Ruby cafe suffers serious damage after a fire in the kitchen, Brent hopes Lacey’s insurance will cover the cost quickly so that she can rebuild and re-open as soon as possible, but the situation forces her to confess to Brent that she isn’t sure she wants to – and in fact, isn’t sure she’s going to remain in Dog River. Brent has to decide whether to convince her to stay, or do the right thing and let her make up her own mind unencumbered. But can he do that without knuckling under and spilling his true feelings for her?

'''B Plot:''' Unsure of what the future holds, the other characters each project where they see themselves in the years ahead – each prognostication more ridiculous than the other.
