- 2005–200644m6.9 (13)TV EpisodeDa Vinci meets with an old buddy from his police days, Nelson Horner, who has been doing some work for the Solicitor General's office. He gives Da Vinci a head's up that he is "being set up to take a big hit" due to the Mayor's controversial policies, further fueled by the murder in the red light district. This action stems from a war between the SG's office and the Attorney General's office and control of the police force. They both suspect that Jacobs has his fingers in the mix somewhere. Immediately following, Berger gets a call from Feeney of the SG's office for a meeting with the Mayor; Feeney tells Da Vinci that the SG is concerned about the grow-op shooting and the non-cooperation and animosity of both the police department and fire and rescue in the Police Complaints Commission. He strongly suggests Da Vinci quietly resolve these problems, including disciplining Jacobs if necessary. The next morning, the Police Complaints Commission releases their report with an inconclusive outcome, although the report highlights many problems both with the grow-op investigation and the non-cooperation by both departments in the commission. Although bothered by the result, Jacobs and Klotchko place a positive spin on the "no blame" aspect of the report and launch their own internal investigation of the non-cooperation aspect. In other words, they plan to sandbag Constables Ferris, Winters and Jones. The fire department is incensed by the inconclusive finding and Komori leads the department in job action by not wearing their uniforms on the job - Welles is not happy with Komori's action. In a further discussion with Rosen on his file folder of 53 complaints against the conduct of the police department, Da Vinci urges him to take the complaints directly to the SG's office based on the Commission's report and the discussion with Feeney. Da Vinci realizes that this will result in an investigation of the entire police department including the Police Board on which he as Mayor is Chair. This does occur, with the relationship between Da Vinci and Jacobs as part of the investigation. Independent with each and without each's knowledge of the other, Mah uses her charms to ease relations and get both Forrest and Sweeney, the fire and police union reps respectively, on side with the City's agenda despite the Commission report. With the red light district murder, Savoy questions Roberta and some prostitutes. Rumors abound the red light zone, the only common thread being that it was robbery-based. Savoy later finds that the murder looks to be the result of a known on-going domestic dispute, good news for the City and the state of the red light district. Webber, a City lawyer, speaks to Da Vinci regarding the civil suit launched by Mina Basra regarding the City's sanctioning of the zone and thus their role in the murder; Webber states that they should be prepared despite the City not being liable. Basra has hired one of the City's most expensive law firms, tipping Da Vinci to the fact that her campaign is being financed by a powerful third party. Mah uncovers the fact that Billie Simms' and Basra are related by marriage and that Simms' husband is a partner in the law firm. Thus Da Vinci decides to confront her on his suspicion that she is Basra's financier and is working against him on the red light zone issue. Despite the facts, she denies the allegations - she states that he is her ex-husband and she and Basra may have once been distantly related. Regardless of the real truth, Da Vinci suggest that they strike a deal to publicly support each other's priorities. With the pedophile case, Jacobs is ready to arrest Dubreau on homicide charges based on evidence that he was in the Century Club with one of the deceased aboriginal boys, this regardless of the state of the Coroner's office investigation. An insider informs Curtis of this, who in turns tips off Dubreau's people, stating that Dubreau should leave the country immediately and permanently. Due to Dubreau's escape to Costa Rica, a country with which Canada does not have an extradition agreement, Leary, on Kelly's advice, decides to raid the Century Club with Kosmo and Finn on a Coroner's warrant instead. The on duty clerk at the club, Mason, offers some resistance to the raid, but later does cooperate. He admits to knowledge of the activities of members of the club inside its premises, as well as admits to making travel arrangements for members fleeing the country to avoid police charges. He also distinctly remembers the situation with Dubreau and the 2 murdered boys specifically because the boys were younger than the usual. Mason also states that Dubreau had a penchant for native boys. On City business, Lloyd Manning once again brings up the issue of the City ad contract; he has evidence that bribes were issued by Pacific Comm to political officials. Councillor Ferlinger later speaks to Da Vinci saying that the RCMP Commercial Crimes Division has interrogated her on the issue based on evidence supplied by Manning. Although she said nothing to the Horsemen, Ferlinger admits to Da Vinci that she does know of bribery associated with the contract, but it was not she who accepted a bribe but rather Da Vinci's friend on Council, Jack Pierce - Pierce confesses to this. Da Vinci convinces him to cut a deal with the Crown, offer his resignation, and not implicate the current administration. Manning states that he doesn't want blood from the City or Pierce, but is solely out for financial gain from Pacific Comm as a businessman, this perhaps allowing Pierce to come out of the incident not totally scathed. With the homeless issue, McNab and Friedland are now working in cahoots with each other seeing that each knows the other's real background. They work in an effort to advance a housing project for the tent city squatters.
- Four on-going story-lines take a back seat in this episode. First, Curtis approaches all the witnesses in the Dubreau case to leave quietly, quickly and semi-permanently to Mexico, all to be paid by Dubreau. These witnesses include Zappata (who agrees), Mason (who shuns Curtis and continues to cooperate with Leary) and Messner (who is adamant about not running away, but vows not to discredit Dubreau). Second, Klotchko continues his sandbagging of the grow-op constables, especially of Ferris. After Matthews in Internal interviews the three constables, she recommends that Ferris be placed under preventative psychiatric care. Third, Katie cooperates on the gay bashing murder. Under interrogation, she places all the blame on Clay and especially Reed, who she paints as being homophobic. And fourth, Woo threatens to shut the Hastings Park racetrack and move all his business to his new property in Delta. This threat includes a letter to the racetrack union to that fact. The main attraction of the episode is the Police Complaints Commission investigation and the on-going battle between Da Vinci and Jacobs. The Commission is looking for any correspondence to/from Da Vinci in his dealings with the police and regarding the grow-op procedure. They approach Komori as such, as well issue a search warrant for the Mayor's office - they get all that is listed in the warrant but not everything they want, which includes access to Da Vinci's computer. Feeney from the Solicitor General's office interviews Jacobs and Klotchko regarding Da Vinci's conduct with the police, Jacobs obviously putting as negative a spin on all situations. Da Vinci finally confront Kaspar regarding the heavy-handedness of the approach, however Kaspar stands his ground and states all will be fair. He also informs Da Vinci that Jacobs has filed a complaint against the Mayor and Police Board about conduct. Da Vinci accuses Jacobs of the misconduct, including a cover up, which piques Kaspar's interest, pending evidence to the fact. Da Vinci tries to enlist Leary's assistance, as if he issues a report that there was cover-up in the grow-op shooting, Jacobs doesn't have a leg on which to stand. On a public relations level, Da Vinci gets pushed aside from speaking at the Policeman's Ball by Jacobs, but Da Vinci insists as the Police Chair he attend and say a few words. There is a final change of plans when an informational protest by some uniforms is set up outside the ball regarding the Mayor's secret cross-training initiative. The protest was initiated by the unions as Sweeney obtained a memo from the Mayor to that fact, the memo which he shared with Forrest. Much of the overall maneuvering is thought to surround the Mayor's red light zone initiative. There is good news for the Mayor on that front when Margaret Fielding gives herself up as the perpetrator of the red light zone murder. She admits that the victim was her boyfriend Charles Waring, who was forcibly trying to take her into rehab. With the red light issue itself, Da Vinci and Manning try to negotiate a deal: Manning will get the PM to publicly support the red light zone, while Da Vinci will act as intermediary with Pacific Comm and the ad contract - these negotiations end unresolved.
- 2005–200644m6.8 (22)TV EpisodeA band of renegade police constables, led by Jan Ferris, start raiding suspected grow-ops. Da Vinci's team meets with Tom Venice, the race track owner, to discuss measures to save the track such as installing slot machines, but Da Vinci is more interested in the attractive and wealthy Billie Simms, a stable owner at the track. Zack continues his undercover work at the squat at the Watson's Building. After Zack tells them that Friedland plans to move the squat to touristy Queen Elizabeth Park, Da Vinci and Mah tell Zack to try and manipulate a move to Crab Park instead, which is on federal land and thus would additionally become a federal problem. Da Vinci tries to find the leak in City Hall regarding the advertising contract, the leak either in the Administrator's office or on the previous Council. Initial evidence points to Councillor Ferlinger, who admits to the evidence being correct but denies she being the leak. Kosmo and Finn continue their investigation of the half-way house shooting, with the constable on the scene admitting that he used a stun gun on the attacking dog, and in the ensuing scuffle with the dog's owner, who was wielding a machete, he and his partner shot the man. The constable decides to speak to a lawyer before deciding to hand or not hand over the stun gun. As the investigation of the half-way house shooting is going on, Jacobs attacks Da Vinci publicly about the shooting being the result of his soft policies of drugs. Irked, Da Vinci starts the process to find a new Police Chief. Kosmo and Finn also investigate a fatal stabbing at a pawn shop. Leary starts his investigation of the two dead aboriginal boys, Garth and Dennis, whose bodies were buried fifteen years prior. Clark Messner, who knew Garth and Dennis, recounts stories from them of a wealthy pedophile john who continually picked up aboriginal boys. Carter leads the investigation of the beating death in Stanley Park. Councillor Horne presses him to prosecute the crime as a gay bashing regardless of the evidence.
- The OCU's report on the grow-op shooting is released, the report stating that there was a fire department inspection notice posted which was a major cause of the outcome. Most officials are not happy with the report findings and question the accuracy of the report, these including Da Vinci, Savoy, Leary, Komori, Welles and Forrest. Although Jacobs is satisfied, he still needs to carefully spin the report findings. He and Klotchko decide to lay whatever police blame on Ferris' shoulders. But Ferris decides she is not going away, so Klotchko needs to do something to placate her in her chosen career path. Leary is still doing his independent investigation of the incident, but a pissed off Welles decides to file a formal complaint to the police complaints commission. Not wanting an all-out war between the police and fire & rescue, Da Vinci tries to intervene, which may be a misstep on his part. At City Hall, Da Vinci and his team do their last minute canvassing for the slot machine support, tying the slots to the hiring of more police officers. And Da Vinci's negotiations with the Port Authority and Billie Simms about development on the waterfront and the transfer of Crab Park to the City proceeds to a near conclusion. The squat at Crab Park seems to be a long term proposition, but McNab's bigger concern is finding out more about the man calling himself Joe Friedland. With the investigation on the pedophile ring, Curtis tries to insinuate himself into the investigation to cover his own tracks. After conferring with Homicide, Leary does speak to Curtis to try and get whatever valuable information about the basic framework of the pedophile ring, especially Dubreau's involvement, while taking any information about Curtis' own involvement with a grain of salt.
- Relations between the police department and fire & rescue continue to be strained. The latest incident involves a suicide jumper, each side accusing that the other was at fault for possibly not preventing the death. Kaspar, the police complaints commissioner, has decided to pursue fire & rescue's complaint regarding the grow-op shooting. Da Vinci warns Kaspar, being part of the RCMP which has in the past had strained relations with the Vancouver Police Department, that the investigation should be impartial. Welles is satisfied that the complaint is moving forward and he will accept whatever the outcome, whereas Jacobs is pissed off that it is proceeding at all. Jacobs and Klotchko advise their members not to cooperate with Kaspar, Ferris and Arkin who agree. Chick may be a tougher one for them to convince. With other business, both Da Vinci and Jacobs try to muscle in on the Prime Minister's upcoming visit to Vancouver. This task seems difficult, especially for the mayor, who wants the PM to tour the Red Light District. Jacobs does whatever he can to kibosh the mayor's plans, but the mayor does manage to get his wish, in part because the PM wants to recruit Da Vinci to run for his party either federally or for the provincial premiership. The tour, however, does not go as smoothly as Da Vinci would have hoped. With the Hastings Racecourse, the slot machine vote does not pass due to some unexpected councilor votes. The vote ends up being somewhat immaterial as Manning, the day previous, sold the racecourse to Roger Woo, who expects some concessions from the mayor to keep the track operating, namely three casino licenses. But Sandra Ferlinger, the councilor who switched her vote against, explains to Da Vinci that a better option is to declare the racecourse a heritage site, in which case it would revert back to the city for operation. Da Vinci learns through other sources that Manning's sale of the track to Woo was a grand scheme between the two to divert track business to another site owned by Woo in the suburbs. With the pedophile case, Leary receives a first hand account from a young male prostitute, Andrew, who was taken to the Century Club two weeks previous. Jacobs wants to proceed with charges against Dubreau, however Leary wants to wait to uncover more evidence as the ring seems to be larger than just Dubreau. The latest possible group involved in the ring is the BC judicial society. With the Stanley Park gay bashing, Katie tries to plea bargain - information of who did the killing for a guarantee of any prosecution against her. And Friedland suspects that Zack may be the mole at the squat.
- 2005–200644m7.2 (22)TV EpisodeThe Mayor proposes a drop-in center for the hookers in the fenced and gated red-light district for their health and safety - they would be required to go there following any business transaction in the district. He now needs to sell the concept to everyone, the biggest hurdle being Jacobs. However Da Vinci, Mah and Berger don't see it as an issue as they can get rid of the chief under the ploy of an early performance review tied to budget overruns in the department. Da Vinci learns it may be financially costly as they may need to buy-out the chief's contract. Jacobs and Klotchko meet with union chief, Earl Sweeney, to discuss police department PR problems. Although the aboriginal community is uncertain Leary can accomplish anything, they cooperate with him on his investigation of the repeated rapes of young aboriginal boys, including the deaths of Garth and Dennis. Messner admits that he knows more than he previously told Leary. Leary also receives information that the perpetrator could have been a radio talk show host and that the police may have been involved. Ferris and her gang of renegade constables decide to take down what they suspect is a biker grow-op regardless of if there are any other investigations on the house. There, they find that the fire department, in a new initiative, has placed a notice on the door stating that they are investigating the house, a suspected grow-op, as a fire hazard. This measure clears out the house, which irks Ferris and her gang who want the glory. Based on a tip, Carter brings in a youth, Colin Rainier, as a suspect in the Lost Lagoon beating death. Rainier implicates some of his colleagues, among which are a bunch of girls, led by someone named Katie. Kosmo and Finn investigate a series of car shooting deaths, some of which look to be mistaken identities. Tom Venice gives Da Vinci short notice that he is selling the racetrack. Da Vinci negotiates with Manning possibly to buy the track. Zack convinces Friedland to take the squat to Crab Park instead of the touristy Queen Elizabeth Park. Zack and Da Vinci also know that Jacobs has a mole in the squat, but Zack doesn't yet know who it is. Just as they are about to move, the police raid the squat and haul off Friedland while Da Vinci, Zack's supposed protector, is doing a PR stint with Billie Simms.
- The Red Light District opens relatively smoothly, despite both the johns and the girls being wary about the openness. Businesses in the area are starting to rally against it, the business coalition led by Mina Basra. Klotchko and Sweeney get tipped that the city is doing a search for a new police chief. The city starts their interviews and get valuable first hand information on the value and effectiveness of cross training. There seems to be unofficial cooperation happening already with the fire department posting inspection notices on suspected grow-ops, which has the effect of the house being vacated. However Ferris and her gang have different ideas, Ferris who wants to make a name for herself in the police ranks. Klotchko and Jacobs also do whatever they can to thwart the fire departments measures as well as the success of the Red Light District. Despite the police raid, the squat successfully moves from the Watson's Building to Crab Park. However Da Vinci is dismayed to learn that Zack has taken a leadership role in the squat, which would not look good if that were ever made public. Kosmo and Finn continue their investigation of the drive-by shootings, one of the deaths who looks to be the victim of mistaken identity. The real target of the shootings seems to be an ex-police officer, Vijay Kumar, who was fired from the force due to suspicions of corruption. In his investigation of the aboriginal boys' case, Leary discovers the name of the suspected ex-deejay involved, his name being Anthony Mottola. Mottola's daughter provides Leary with some incriminating evidence against her father. The evidence also points to there being an organized pedophile ring. Both Manning and Woo independently show interest in buying the race track, only if the slot machines are approved.
- 2005–200644m6.9 (17)TV EpisodeBoth sides continue gathering their support on the cross training issue. The side against, led by Jacobs and Klotchko, are spreading the word amongst their and the fire department's union chiefs. They're all saying that there are some senior people amongst their ranks who are in favor of crossing training, and it's those people who have to go. These people include Komori and perhaps Parmir. And although Jacobs has issued a directive to his constables not to support the fire department when they post inspection notices on suspected grow-ops, some constables are unofficially defying the directive. On the side for, Da Vinci needs to make his moves a little less public until he plots his entire strategy around the issue. Berger and Forsythe, feeling the heat, convince Da Vinci to put the issue on the back burner for the time being. Ferris and her gang are relishing in the positive publicity in their take-down of a grow-op. The next one, however, does not goes as well, as both the grow-op sitter and Constable Barb Tremaine are killed in the process. Ferris is devastated as it not only puts a crimp on her long term plan, but she was attracted to Tremaine. Ferris' defense is that a warrant was on its way and that the fire department unknowing to her and her colleagues placed an inspection notice on the door which warned the home owners. Tremaine's death places the issue of cross training back on the table. To deflect attention away from Tremaine's death, Jacobs orders his constables to stir up action in the Red Light District. Things turn again when there is a beating in the Red Light District after Da Vinci orders Jacobs to stop harassing people in the district, which Jacobs interprets, for his own purposes, as not having any police presence at all in the district. Da Vinci orders Zack from the squat at Crab Park, saying that his work is complete. But Zack now has an emotional investment in what's happening at the squat. Da Vinci meets with Friedland about an extended stay at Crab Park, this news which gets back to Jacobs by his undercover operative. Friedland is aware that the police have someone amongst his midst and asks Da Vinci to investigate. Leary gets some positive results from the photographs provided by Mottola's daughter, including the identification of some of the boys involved, and the hotel where the boys were taken. This evidence leads to the suspected involvement of a prominent businessman named James Dubreau. Kosmo and Finn learn more about Kumar's investigations into South Asian gangs in an effort to clear his name. Kosmo and Finn are looking for a undercover officer to infiltrate the gang activity.
- The issue of the fire inspection notice at the grow-op site comes into question. Da Vinci thinks it a little too convenient that one was found after a series of seasoned investigators didn't find it in their initial walk-through. Winters admits in confidence to Klotchko that she is unsure that a notice was at the scene. And even Jacobs admits he is skeptical. Klotchko tries to manage the situation internally, seeming to support Ferris in whatever she needs, while not allowing her back to work. He will not even allow her to attend Tremaine's funeral. The fire and police committee does however come back with a recommendation for a coordinated approach to grow-ops, which delights Da Vinci. A B&E occurs at the Coroner's office, and Leary's computer which was stolen. This may have something to do with Dubreau, as Dubreau, Norton and Curtis confer about managing the situation, which includes keeping tabs on Manny Zappata. Despite the theft, the investigation continues: Leary has identified the hotel where the boys were taken and Kosmo and Finn try to determine Curtis' actual role in the pedophile ring. However, Zappata and Messner get nervous about actually testifying, which may kibosh Leary being able to lay charges. The hookers are now wary of the safety of the Red Light District and move back to their old haunts. Jacobs uses the missing women's case as a smoke-screen for police under-funding, not tying it in with the purpose of the Red Light District. With City Hall business, Da Vinci shores up support for slots at the racetrack and negotiates between all the players regarding development on the waterfront in and around Crab Park. Katie is brought in on assault charges, displaying that she is capable of violent crime. Friedland may not be as he seems, and Zack does some digging into his possible real identity.
- Da Vinci is dealing with the fall-out from the homicide in the red light district, the homicide taking place during the Prime Minister's tour. Despite the Prime Minister still giving Da Vinci his support in private, it seems that opposition to the red zone is mounting, connecting the death to the zone itself. The attention is international, and some of Da Vinci's councilors don't want to see the City become an international laughing stock. Mina Basra and the wife of the deceased decide to sue the city over the incident, stating that it would not have happened if the red zone did not exist. Under this pressure, Da Vinci sticks to his guns and keeps the zone open. The police complaints commission starts their investigation of the grow-op shooting. Marx and Zurokowski, the two interviewers, are facing what looks to be institutionalized non-compliance by the police department, although Savoy is the one police officer who does speak to them. However, Savoy doesn't mention that he was told by Klotchko not to cooperate. The commission extends its investigation to fire & rescue, who openly decide not to cooperate despite it being them who initiated the complaint. Da Vinci decides that it might be good idea to co-opt lawyer Phil Rosen, who has dealt with complaints against the police, to make sure the interests of the mayor's office are protected in the investigation. Rosen is more than happy to help Da Vinci bury Jacobs. Clay Douglas and Reed Baker, the two that Katie has identified as the instigators of the gay bashing death at Stanley Park, are brought in for questioning. They, in turn, implicate Katie as being the sole instigator. Woo threatens to sue the City over the heritage designation of the race track. Leary discovers more conclusive evidence against Dubreau in the pedophile ring, but still hesitates to bring him in officially as it will prompt others in the ring to go underground. McNab and Friedland partially clear the air with each about their true identities.
- The investigation of the grow-op deaths gets under way. Jacobs, in an effort to distance the police department from the killings, calls in the Organized Crime Unit, stating that it is their jurisdiction since it is purported that a major drug organization is involved. This is only one area of disagreement as Chick, the lead investigator, states that the grow-op involved was a "Mom and Pop" operation. The other major disagreement is between Ferris, Winters, by association the police department and the fire department. Ferris and Winters emphatically state that they saw a inspection notice at the grow-op issued by the fire department, that notice which was not recovered at the scene. Ferris and Winters imply that the fire department, protecting their own, took the notice away from the crime scene. Komori flatly denies that a notice was issued at that house. After Da Vinci gets police and fire together to discuss the situation amicably, an inspection notice is found at the crime scene, five days after the fact. Leary's investigation into Dubreau gets deeper. Leary investigates a former charge against Dubreau, that issued by a former street hustler, Manny Zapata. Zapata names a former narc as an accomplice of Dubreau's, that narc being Brian Curtis. The Red Light District gets a little quieter following the beating of a john. Both the johns and girls in the district are nervous. An official citizen's coalition of purported business owners of the district has lodged a complaint against the district. Mah however can't find any of the "names" on the coalition as being business owners of the area. It seems as if Billie Simms may be involved. Da Vinci tries to maintain control of the squat at Crab Park, especially as it is on federal land and the Port Authority, to whom the land belongs, wants the land back for major development. Katie is brought in for questioning regarding the gay bashing death in Stanley Park.
- This episode and the series picks up where "Da Vinci's Inquest" left off. We see Dominic Da Vinci has moved from the halls of the city coroner's office to those of City Hall as the newly elected Mayor of Vancouver. One of his first official PR opportunities as Mayor takes place at a night out at the local Hastings Park horse racetrack. With his two aides, Sam Berger and Rita Mah, running detail duty, Da Vinci is introduced to Lloyd Manning and Roger Woo, who independent of each other have the potential to be the savior of the financially troubled racetrack as its new owner. Further PR for Da Vinci takes place the next morning when Da Vinci is invited to a pancake breakfast at an elementary school located in a poorer section of town. The school's principal voices to Da Vinci her opposition to a proposed park nearby. More green space appears to be a motherhood issue, however her opposition stems from her fears that it will be a breeding ground for drug dealers and pimps preying on her students. The pimps are especially troublesome in her mind as the school is located close to the City's known "kiddie stroll". Two homicides investigations are also underway the morning after. The first is of a formerly diagnosed mentally ill man living in a half-way house in a effort to get readjusted to community life. The investigation is led by reinstated Homicide Det. Angela Kosmo and her new partner Det. Joe Finn, formerly of Internal Investigations. In that previous life, Finn did investigate some unfounded allegations of police impropriety by Angela which led to her demotion from Homicide. On the surface, their new partnership does not seem to be suffering from their past animosity. Also on site are Kosmo's former partner Mick Leary, who is there in his new role as City Coroner - Da Vinci's old job - the detective's superior Police Chief Bill Jacobs and his opportunistic second in command Sgt. Charlie Klotchko, the latter two who voice their opposition to such half-way houses located in residential neighborhoods. Kosmo and Finn eventually solve this homicide, perpetrated by a half-way house neighbor with night vision goggles and a high-powered rifle, but not before Finn is attacked and bitten by the neighbor's dog, who Finn shoots dead. The second homicide looks to be a gay-bashing which took place along what is known as the gay stroll in Stanley Park. Councillor Jason Horne has taken a special interest in this case as a representative of the gay community. Det. Chick Savoy, also new to homicide from his previous role as police forensics expert, and Lou from the coroner's office undercover two bodies of young boys found buried deep in a city park. Long deceased and found near the site where another body had previously been found, Leary suspects that they are the bodies of two missing aboriginal youth and that the three bodies are associated with a possible pedophile ring from about 10 or 15 years earlier. The political differences between Da Vinci and Jacobs resurface - not that they ever probably went away - in the police's handling of a squat in a commercial building which is planned for redevelopment, the squat led by homeless activist Joe Friedland. Jacobs uses the force of the police department to harass the squatters, while Da Vinci prefers to negotiate with Friedland, with whom he promises to find suitable permanent accommodation for those homeless in the squat. This episode with the squat is just start of the power struggle between the Mayor and the Police Chief in their roles as City officials. They also clash on manpower issues, the unresolved conflict resulting in each side plotting against the other while Jacobs and Klotchko continually feign cooperation with the Mayor. Back with the homeless issue, Da Vinci calls in retired traffic detective Zack McNab to act as his undercover eyes and ears at the squat. Two developments take place back at City Hall. The first has Manning, who looks to be the main contender for purchasing the racetrack, accusing that there was a leak in information which caused him to lose the City's lucrative advertising contract during the previous administration. Da Vinci needs to placate Manning in the continuing negotiation for the racetrack purchase, but also believes there may be some merit to Manning's accusations. With the racetrack, part of the selling feature may be Da Vinci's ability to influence Council to install slot machines at the track to increase revenues both for its owner and for the City.

The struggle for ultimate power seems to be reaching a head between Rich and Pan, especially as Rich inadvertently gives away Pan's favorite steed to Nelson as payment for work. Half way through the drive, they make a bet. Rich will take half the herd and Ed and Gloria, while Pan takes the other half of the herd with Kit and Tommy to see who makes it to Vanderhoof first, with the winner to be boss of the ranch for the next year. Beyond the race, they find they have bigger problems once they arrive in Vanderhoof, problems that threaten the very existence of the ranch. This drive is the final piece of work Ed will be doing for Rich and Pan before he hops on a train to Vancouver so that he can enlist.

But Tommy ends up having his own female encounter in town when he meets Sally Prentiss, the preacher's daughter.

- Rich is feeling overwhelmed by the paperwork and mounting bills for the ranch. His concern is manifesting itself in a nightmare of being buried alive by hay in the hayloft. The letter Rich receives from Gloria's Aunt Vi doesn't help matters: she wants her share of the sale of Stoney Meadow within 30 days. He comes to the conclusion that he is pushing as much paper now as when he was a successful and financially secure stockbroker, and as such contemplates packing it in to move to the city. But Pan comes up with a way to raise the money to save the ranch: hold a lottery for their dud bull, Stephan Domineo Hansford. They have to get rid of the non-productive Stephan anyway, Pan knows that no one would pay the amount that they paid for it, but several people might pony up a nominal amount for the chance to own it. After initial brisk ticket sales, their plan hits a bit of a snag which Pan and Gloria don't want Rich to know about. But they proceed regardless, which may not be a bad thing as good deeds garner good deeds done in return.
- 1998–199945mTV EpisodeOn a July day in Vanderhoof, the Fraser Hotel is busier than usual in part because of an unexpected snowfall. Rich and Gloria are staying the night on some business, which includes looking for a schoolteacher for Blackwater and retrieving Gloria's wedding ring from the pawnbroker. Another guest is the local prostitute, Jessie Temple, who is awaiting the arrival of her fiancé from Prince George. She is trying to start a new life by getting married, but the nude painting of her over the hotel bar - payment to Bob Fraser from Mr. Pivak, an artist and another hotel guest - is threatening this new start. She asks Rich for help in getting the painting removed, he who tries but who also tries to hide from Gloria his past "professional" relationship with Jessie. An unknown love may also threaten Jessie's life with her betrothed. Another guest is Olivia Mowat, who has decided to leave Rupert and head to Vancouver. As he heard about Olivia's decision from Nelson, Pan has come into town to try and stop her, not from leaving Rupert, but leaving the area. But Pan is not prepared to make a commitment to Olivia. Also upon finding out Olivia's intentions, Rupert rushes into town to stop her. Through it all, it seems as if everyone in the hotel wants everyone else's help in resolving their issue.
- When a slow-talking but highly-skilled young wrangler shows up in search of work, Pan believes the ranch-hand problems may be solved. But love and heartbreak are in the air, and "the Natural" ends up being more trouble than help.
- Gloria's best friend, Muriel, makes a surprise visit to the ranch with her new fiancé, Connor McCann, who once asked Gloria to marry him. Although Gloria never had any intention of marrying Connor, she turned him down in part when Rich entered her life. Their visit is in part because Connor has enlisted and will soon be shipped overseas. Gloria is happy to see her friends, but Rich is less than excited to socialize with his old nemesis Connor, especially since he doesn't know the specific details of Gloria and Connor's past relationship. Despite a bumpy start, Pan begins to love their visit, more specifically Muriel's visit. Meanwhile, Pan's latest scheme is to start a horse stud business. They have to do some quick maneuvering to trade their gelding for a stallion.
- Thinking that it will keep her preoccupied instead of getting in their hair, Pan suggests to both Rich and Gloria that Gloria take over the administrative duties for the ranch. She agrees if only they clear a road to Vanderhoof, this caveat much to Pan and Rich's chagrin. Her resolve for them to do so is strengthened when she sees that clearing a vehicular right-of-way to the nearest market is a condition of their grazing land lease, especially important now that the grazing commissioner's inspection visit is three weeks away. After hearing about how Pan drove from Wyoming to Tatla Lake in an old delivery truck nicknamed "the Bloater" - that trip when Pan first found this property - Gloria comes up with an alternate idea: they build a road to closer Tatla Lake instead, which would satisfy the condition of their lease. Pan is dead set against the idea of a road, period, as he fears a road will threaten their way of life by making it easier for others to make their way into the area. So Pan, Rich and Gloria, on horseback, head off to Tatla Lake where they find the not so abandoned Bloater, which they plan on using to demonstrate that the right-of-way they clear is drivable. Each of the three go with their own agenda and their own hidden methods of achieving that agenda. Others that they did not consider may have a say in what Pan, Rich or Gloria individually are trying to do.
- Rich doesn't remember until Pan reminds him that his and Gloria's first wedding anniversary is approaching. What's worse is that Rich was planning on heading off with Pan on that day to go for a multi-day wild horse hunt. Gloria is already angry enough by Rich forgetting and not making any romantic arrangements for their honeymoon, but to make the best of a bad situation, she decides to go along on the wild horse hunt so that she can be with Rich. As such, Pan decides to stay home instead, which ends up making him go a little stir crazy with nothing to do. Rich and Gloria's pursuit of the wild horses ends up yielding nothing, so Rich decides to ask advice on the whereabouts of the wild horses from his not so old friend and neighbor Cora Bartlett, who lives with her cantankerous, straight-talking and acerbic tongued mother Enid Bartlett. The visit with the Bartletts is bad enough in Gloria's eyes as she would rather be alone with Rich, but it takes a turn for the worse when Enid implies that snooty Gloria is the reason why Rich and Cora didn't get married. That visit leads to a fight later between Rich and Gloria. It isn't until the Hobsons have a subsequent visit with the Bartletts - with Gloria and Cora having some alone time, and Cora dealing with a sad situation - that Gloria and Rich see their marriage in a clearer light. Their marriage is also given a surprising boost by Pan.
- 2005–200644m7.2 (20)TV EpisodeDa Vinci greases the wheels on all sides: he lays down the law with both the police and fire union reps using the tactic of the extra manpower on the books, and discusses with Leary the progress in his investigation on the grow-op shooting. On the down side, Jacobs has a meeting with the Solicitor General about the relationship with the Police Board and Da Vinci, the SG laying down the law with Da Vinci on this matter. However some unexpected good news for Da Vinci comes via Lou in the coroner's investigation: he has found evidence that the grow-op site was violated after it was locked down, implying that the fire and rescue notice may have been planted on the site after the lock down. This news, eventually the major finding in the coroner's investigation report, provides leverage for the Mayor in all these dealings, especially with the police department in general and Jacobs in particular. Internal to the police, Klotchko continues to play Ferris, who is feeling and showing the pressure of the investigation. When all is said and done, Ferris solely takes the fall for the notice planting. Although not coming out smelling totally like a rose, both Klotchko and Jacobs are spared. Still feeling the heat, Jacobs kowtows to the Mayor, saying that they should now work together, Jacobs even stating that he will support the Mayor's controversial policies. Da Vinci basically tells him to take a hike. Things on this front don't end smoothly however as the fire department and many police officers threaten a major work disruption based on Ferris being the scapegoat for larger systemic issues within the police department. On another front, Da Vinci intervenes with Pacific Comm for Manning. The Pacific Comm lawyer does not back down as she says she has evidence of influence peddling on Manning's part for the better part of 10 years. Manning does not take too kindly to the news of this meeting outcome. Elsewhere, Det. Carter has laid "gay bashing" murder charges against Clay and Reed based on Katie's evidence, although he knows that she had a major role in the crime; just the fact that it is being charged as a hate crime satisfies Councillor Horne. And the Mike Franklin side of Joe Friedland emerges as he gets deep back into gambling and is down $20,000 in a current poker game, money he doesn't have. With the pedophile case, the perpetrators continue their back-room dealings with the witnesses, albeit in a slightly heavier handed matter: Curtis murders Mason. However Norton negotiates with Kosmo and Finn for Dubreau's return. When Dubreau returns, the detectives state that the Crown has refused to negotiate and they book him on murder charges.

But a more serious and life threatening accident occurs when Francis is run over by the mower. As they all deal with the immediate issue of Francis' injuries, they can only send notice for Dr. Harvey in Bella Coola - a three hour plane ride away - and hope that he arrives in time to save Francis. Things turn even worse when they receive news that Bella Coola is fogged in, meaning no planes in or out. Against Gloria's wishes, Pan and Rich decide to make the 150 mile round trip horse ride through the treacherous trail to the end of the road to pick up Doc Harvey, and ride him back. The prayers are now not only for Francis' safety, but Rich, Pan and Doc Harvey's as well. This incident shows everyone what they are and aren't cut out for in life, one whose immediate future may be drastically altered because of it.
