- This critically acclaimed six-part mini-series... Shot between March and June 2004, Ultimate Survival: Everest chronicles the Everest efforts of Team Discovery, which included two Canadian climbers - producer and experienced adventure guide Ben Webster, and his girlfriend, rookie climber and PhD candidate in Sports Psychology, Shauna Burke - plus Australian Andrew Lock and Hector Ponce De Leon from Mexico, both veterans of Everest and the world's most intimidating peaks. The series also follows the treks of Annabelle Bond, a London socialite; and diabetic American climber Will Cross. The expedition's members, including the team's Nepalese Sherpa guides, were trained to act as the production team, filming the extreme physical demands, physiological changes and emotional hazards. Soaring 8,848 meters above sea level - equal to the height of 16 CN Towers placed end to end - Everest's summit is the ultimate challenge for climbers around the world.

He finds kindred spirits in Tom and Chad, the latter who is the ringside announcer for the local franchise, Rodeo Roughhouse.

Stoked by the idea, Tom and Delmer figure they are a natural team as a cowboy and the "I" word. Because of Marta's feelings about the "sport", Delmer doesn't want to tell her what he and Tom are doing, they wearing masks as part of their stage personae. Delmer may have a different agenda than what is written in the script. Meanwhile, Marta, Keltie and Wesley are working on the show's first exposé, and choose to expose professional wrestling for the fake that it is, Marta who doesn't want to tell Delmer about the exposé. Delmer and Marta at the same professional wrestling match without knowing the other will be there may have an interesting unscripted outcome.
- Marta's mother Esther is coming for a visit - she who has not yet visited Delmer and Marta in Morningside - which coincides with the annual Morningside Fair, Morning Days as it is affectionately called, which has as its mascot Chief Littlefoot, Marta and Esther who happen to be direct descendants of his. Delmer has always been scared of Esther who he believes does not like him. Both Tom and Creston believe they have a way to soften Esther's view of Delmer, those two ways which have mixed results. Meanwhile, Keltie seems to have something against fairs in general, especially the midway games. Lloyd helps her confront the very specific issue with which she is dealing.
- Delmer and Tom have been jamming at Delmer and Marta's, much to Marta's chagrin especially when they are doing it in the middle of the night impeding her sleep. It isn't until they find a percussionist in the form of drummer Lloyd that Delmer and Tom feel like they can finally perform at open mic night at the local bar. But in the band moving into the realm of the station, what Lloyd feared would happen, happens: Creston finds out. Creston and Lloyd were once in a band together, which disbanded in Creston taking control. True to what happened last time, Creston does take control of the band. The questions then become if the band can survive Creston, and if Delmer and Tom, the latter who is an emotional wreck at the best of times, recover to what they really wanted to achieve with the band in the first place. Meanwhile, Marta uses her own meditation methods to try and decompress from the late night jam sessions.

- Lisa can't wait to tell her colleagues her exiting news, that she has got the more prestigious lead news anchor job with the All Women's Channel, that news which she divulges to them as soon as she knows, which is on the air on the newscast. Her excitement ends up being somewhat muted as her colleagues don't seem as sad about her leaving as she wants them to feel, as Creston immediately starts looking for her replacement, as her arch rival, Karen Redwood, seems to be the leading candidate to replace her, and as the public tribute from the station, which is being organized by Keltie, doesn't go quite the way she wants. Are any of these items in and of themselves or in combination enough for Lisa to regret her decision, and if they are is it too late for her to get her old job back? Meanwhile, Delmer, using indigenous methods, tries to help Chad find his mojo in being able to do the newscast on his own, either temporarily or permanently if he is able to convince Creston not to replace Lisa. And Delmer is never too sure when Marta mentions that she needs extra support, whether she is talking about emotional support from him, or physical support for her more than ample front side.
- It's the middle of winter, and budget cuts as a directive from network brass are the cause for some on-air snafus and twenty-three minutes of unscheduled off air time while staff dealt with those snafus. However, Creston has still managed to keep within this reduced budget an imminent trip for himself to a conference in warm and sunny Bora Bora. What Creston also learns is that the one thing the network will not allow him to cut from the budget is a staff retreat, not only in order to team build, but in order to make Creston a more effective manager especially in light of the reduced budget, as the facilitator, First Nations Takoda Calihoo, structures the retreat on the theme of the wolf pack and thus Creston being leader of that pack. Creston has to report back to network brass at the conference meaning that he will have to schedule the retreat for this weekend, about which most of the staff is not too happy in spending their free time together in freezing cold and isolated Fort Morningside, an old fur trading post. As the retreat progresses, they all find that what Takoda, Creston and the staff want out of the weekend are three totally different things. As such, the staff decides to band together to exact a small mutiny not only get what they want out of the weekend, but to implement a more effective allocation of that reduced budget.
