- The story of a young businesswoman who tries to convince her uptight parents to accept her current boyfriend and instead finds herself falling for an old high school flame.
- At the last minute, Pat decides to accompany Nick and John to Vancouver to investigate an unknown business opportunity advertised in the newspaper. 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.
- 1991–19961h 29mTV-147.8 (101)TV EpisodeTony starts the review process to become New York police commissioner while investigating the disappearance of two of his police officers.
- While trying to solve a major gold robbery, Tony must answer a cry for help from a con man.
- 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.
- Da Vinci calls for Vancouver to establish a red light district following the death of a high-priced escort and with the continuing mystery of the 28 missing prostitutes, all presumed dead.
- Da Vinci investigates the death of an eight-year-old child. Shannon and Leary investigate the double shooting of a bouncer and a stripper.
- Leary and Shannon are back at work following Josie's shooting. Leary is still feeling the emotions of the incident, and reflects on his life. Shannon wants to make Leary feel that he is there for him by telling him a dark secret about his past. With work, Kurtz delegates the worst jobs to them, their first case being an abandoned car belonging to Jessica Bailey. Homicide is investigating if only because there is a good deal of blood on the back seat. Jessica is missing despite having her car listed for sale. She is pregnant and soon to give birth. Her bank account has systematically been emptied. She was contemplating giving the baby up for adoption since her boyfriend was not too happy about the pregnancy. Meanwhile, the dead body of Donna Sykes is found in a motor boat run aground on the beach, the death an apparent suicide. Donna's husband, Warren, cannot understand why his wife would commit suicide, especially since she had just given birth to her first baby, a baby that the Sykes had been trying to conceive for quite some time. The cases of Jessica Bailey and Donna Sykes merge into one when Jessica Bailey is found, when Wanda's autopsy provides some interesting findings and when Warren finds some blood stained sheets in his house. Elsewhere, Patricia wants to use the deceased body of Queenie King to do an autopsy for her class, Da Vinci not too happy that Patricia seemed to purposely circumvent him to achieve the necessary approvals. At the archaeological dig, two bystanders seem overly interested at what's going on. And Kosmo continues to foster her relationship with Sue, who uses Kosmo at every turn she can.
- Two suspicious fires are investigated. The first is a car fire which killed the car's occupant. And the second is on the exterior of Kosmo's house, the fire which took place while she was at home. Evidence indicates the two were set by the same person. Sue is rushed to hospital on a possible OD. As with all of Curtis' cases, the murder charges against Sue are going to be stayed of which she is unaware, leading to her taking an extraordinary measure while in the hospital. In preparation for the announcement of his candidacy for mayor, Da Vinci brings his team together to discuss his platform, including the controversial issues of expanding the number of safe injection sites and creating a red light district. However some leaked news indicates that there is a mole in Da Vinci's team working in part for his political foe and possible mayoral candidate, the acting mayor Joyce Simkins. Da Vinci uses this mole for his own purposes. He also learns he has an ally in the opposing camp. Leary accuses Simms of knowing and covering up that Tuan was behind Summers' death. Chick and Carter monitor Tuan's movement, thinking he is being aided by Simms to flee to the States while Leary tries to secure an arrest warrant to nab him before he flees. Leary receives pressure from Jacobs and Klotchko to do something he doesn't want to do in this case. What Leary decides to do is based on where he sees his professional future. And the perpetrator of a slew of bank robberies is found dead, the perpetrator well-known to those in the Police Department.
- An eyewitness sees a car drive into False Creek. One male passenger in the vehicle managed to make it out of the water and flee the scene, whereas one female passenger drowned. The male ends up being university professor Harold Stanley Keller (it was his car), the deceased female one of his students named Ellen DeWitt. Shannon and Williams interrogate Keller, who initially tells a story of a purely innocent professor/student relationship and a malfunctioning car. After Shannon and Williams find some evidence to the contrary, Keller eventually tells them that he was meeting DeWitt to end a sexual relationship, but that the car going into the water was purely an accident. Danielle, a former roommate of DeWitt's also tell them that DeWitt was a controlling woman - "creepy" was the word Danielle used to describe DeWitt. But they still have to determine if the car going into the water was indeed an accident or done on purpose by Keller to get rid of his problem. Da Vinci investigates a naked dead body found near a water hazard of a golf course, he being soaking wet despite no rain, and his clothes piled nearby. The authorities discover that he is Leon Dean Barrett, his abandoned car found down the road. Ned Partridge, an eyewitness who called 911 tells them that he saw Barrett's car weaving erratically along the road. However, another eyewitness tells another story of seeing Barrett's car in a traffic confrontation with another vehicle, the driver of that vehicle who Da Vinci has already met. With Kosmo and Leary's investigation of Curtis, Curtis goes missing after the dope deal with Prentice. And using old style tactics, Shannon does Da Vinci an unspoken favor.
- Da Vinci is suspected of causing a hit-and-run accident after coming home drunk one night and not being able to find his car the next day.
- A severed body is found by the railroad tracks, apparently run over by a train. It turns out to be a young teen-aged boy by the name of Shane Tyler. It sounds as if Shane was down by the tracks dealing drugs. Da Vinci learns that Shane came from a troubled home, and that his mother, Matty, is also a drug dealer. After the autopsy, Da Vinci further learns that Shane was chronically abused. Da Vinci is certain that Matty is his abuser. Although Da Vinci never confirms the root cause for Shane's death, he speculates Shane may have taken his own life to escape his abusive environment. Meanwhile, Shannon and Williams investigate the death of a young woman found inside a car. They learn from Taylor that the car, reported stolen, was earlier used in a bank robbery. Taylor identifies the deceased as Tanya Myers, who, with her husband Kent, is suspected in a swath of bank robberies in the American Pacific Northwest. In this case, a police officer shot at the departing vehicle, which apparently hit Tanya fatally. The Myers' modus operandi: Kent romances a bank teller, who unwittingly provides information about the bank itself. Taylor also provides information on the Myers that may link them to the James Toresi murder. Shannon and Williams now need to find Kent, who on the latest sighting has hijacked another vehicle with a young female hostage inside. Elsewhere, Da Vinci approaches Pierce about what he knows about Curtis' blackmail.
- Tensions mount at the club between Tina and Sweet as Sweet doesn't like Tina's territorial attitude with clients, especially since she is the new girl in the club. However, Jimmy backs Tina as he wants her to uncover information on one of those clients, Jimmy's banker, John Hogarty. Ted meets with Williams of the DEA and agrees to hand over his files on Jimmy in exchange for meeting Williams' undercover operator on the sting on Jimmy. Mary finds out that the attempted hit on Jimmy was by the Vietnamese, who they blame Jimmy for stealing business. Jimmy initially doesn't believe Mary when she tells him as he has had good relations thus far with the Vietnamese, but later figures it is Phan's former supplier who ordered the hit. Phan, in turn, promises Jimmy that he will deal with the situation if that is indeed the case. Instead of cash, Bingham offers Jimmy a stock offering in exchange for transferring the gun shipment. Mary, who needs more time to implement a plan against Bingham, asks Jimmy to accept the deal, Mary and OCU who will back up Jimmy's payment if the stock is worthless. Jimmy and Ronnie get an offer to buy the club property for $10 million from developers who want to build a $300 million block long development. Ronnie in particular adamantly declines the offer. Mary and Ted's surveillance team apprehend Lee. Mary offers Lee a deal - he work undercover against the Red Eagles and he doesn't go to jail. He agrees. Stella is feeling trapped at home with Francine, and Maxine suggests to Jimmy that he bury the hatchet with Francine to make Stella's home life better. Jimmy does so, but Francine doesn't realize it is solely for Stella's benefit. This cease fire between Jimmy an Francine is short lived as Stella runs away from home and shows up at the club. When Francine calls, Jimmy is able to placate her by offering to have a family breakfast the next morning.
- What came first: Sault's negative attitude or her string of very bad luck in Vancouver? Specifically on the work front, she has lost one contract after another to her arch rival, Richard, or Dick as she calls him. Positive thinking may help her in an upcoming request for proposal for a "Yay Vancouver" campaign. In general, Geoff thinks her negativity came first, and he convinces her to accompany him to a positive thinking seminar. After attending, Sault thinks it's a load of rubbish. Trixie also attended the seminar and uses the positive thinking message to her benefit. But after one good thing happens to Sault, a string of good luck seems to follow, including getting the contract for "Yay Vancouver". Sault's perspective turns 180 degrees where she feels that positive thinking will get her anything regardless of anything else she does. After some bad things happen, including learning about Trixie's ulterior motive in doing that first positive thing for Sault, Sault realizes that there is a balance between positive thinking and making things happen for oneself. Sault decides to take charge of her life.
- Sault, aka Annabelle Bonaduce, is running out of ideas for her magazine column. The only one of the many hair-brained ideas that Sault came up with that was approved by Charlotte, her editor, was an exposé on a gay wedding, Stanley and Geoff's wedding to be more precise. Sault, as Geoff's maid of honour, is reluctant to tell her "bride" of this news. When she eventually does, Geoff flatly refuses. One would think that Stanley would reject the idea as well, but when he hears about the possible free swag associated to spruce up their otherwise sparse festivities... Meanwhile, Bobbi, with newly received secretarial school diploma in hand, gets her first temp job at the chiropractic office of Dr. Jordan Cohen. Bobbi is excited about the job since she is physically attracted to Jordan. She wants so much to be in love and be loved again, both for herself and for finding a father for Robbie. Luckily for Bobbi, Jordan is as equally attracted to her and he asks her out. Before him asking her on this date, Bobbi secretly rifled through Jordan's private things to find out more about him. She finds only one possible skeleton, which she thinks is a wife named Angela. After their date which included an exciting romp in bed, Bobbi discovers that Jordan's skeleton is not exactly what she thought it was. His skeleton?: he hates children. It really is rather a morbid fear of children. Bobbi initially keeps news of Robbie from Jordan, but when it looks that they are mutually falling in love, Bobbi ultimately has no choice but to tell him. Because of his deep feelings for her, Jordan tells her he will try to not let Robbie get between them. Regardless of if things between Bobbi and Jordan work, Yuri (Robbie's biological father), newly arrived back at Robson Arms, is willing to support Bobbi and Robbie in any way they need.
- 2018–TV EpisodeIn the Friday, March 17, 2023, edition of Focus BC, host Richard Zussman speaks with federal Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre about current issues affecting British Columbians, such as housing affordability, and Nanaimo Mayor Leonard Krog on rising crime in the community and mental health and addiction support.
- The killer: Marion Reader, an aging woman with a bad back, whose twenty-eight year old mama's boy of a son, Owen Reader, came back to live with her to take care of her. With her telephone sales job and his online selling of military memorabilia, they are now unable to make the monthly mortgage payments on her long time house. As a side hobby, she does kitschy folk art: paintings of her cat, Mathias, inserted onto existing painted canvases. As a means to earn more money to make those mortgage payments, she attempts to sell her folk art at a local café. The victim: Julia Conrad, a girl Friday at a high end art gallery. Julia is found dead shot point blank apparently when she was out for her morning run. Homicide's initial suspect is Julia's boss, who is openly disapproving of Julia's plans to open her own art gallery, which would then be "the competition". But when they learn the gun that was used to kill Julia is pre-WWI vintage in poor condition, the fact of such a reported stolen gun by Owen Reader leads them to the Reader house. Although they learn of a connection between the Readers and Julia, they have no motive or logical reasoning to suspect either of the Readers. However, the extent to which Owen and Marion will go to protect the other may bring that motive to light.
- The killer: Derek Caster. The victim: London Montgomery, the grown daughter of wealthy industrialist, Neville Montgomery. Six months out of drug rehab and seemingly clean during that time, London is found dead from being poisoned on what was the night of her birthday party joint drug rehab facility fundraiser. Betty suspects that the drug was purposefully given to London as what she believed was cocaine. Oscar recuses himself from the case when he learns that the last person to text London before she died was his father, Franco Vega, who has a thing for younger women like London. As such, Franco becomes a prime suspect. Because of the need for extra human resources on the case, Boyd asks Angie if she is willing to be temporarily placed back in Homicide from her desk job in Recruiting which she requested six months ago following Oscar killing to protect her, and her and Mark's ten year secret coming to a head. The desk job has not rejuvenated Angie as she had hoped, and as such she is itching to get back to Homicide permanently. The detectives learn that London was working through a twelve step program, and was on step nine - making amends - with one person who did not accept her apology probably the killer. Working through the evidence and learning the nature of Franco and London's relationship, they learn that London's death is indirectly related to Neville's business dealings, which they suspect will play a major role in their future work based on the outcome of this case.
- The four couples competing to win the home they will totally renovate are introduced. They are: engaged Disa and Russell, who want this to be the home in which they will start their married life; daughter and father Crystal and Ray, the latter who wants to help his daughter and her boyfriend start their life as a couple; married Nina and PJ, who want the house to be a home that their extended family, most specifically Nina's mother, can feel secure in; and life partners Charlotte and Sean, who want to be able to tell their future children and grandchildren how they came about their house. The couples size each other up, as well as the four tear down houses. They are given a quick challenge to decide which couple will be working on which house. They are thrown into the fire when they learn their first renovation will be the living room, for which they are given a $7,000 budget and a seventy-two hour time frame to complete. The team whose living room renovation is deemed the best by the judges will win a train trip to Jasper, and accommodation at the Jasper Park Lodge. They all have the challenge of transforming what was built in the mid-twentieth century into current day sensibilities. One couple runs into some early difficulties in doing structural work before getting the OK from their contractor. The couples are excited to show the judges what they are trying to accomplish in their home. They will also get a good idea of what will impress the judges in the future as they hear the evaluations.
- The next room to be renovated is the kitchen and dining area, with a budget of $12,000 and seventy-two hours to complete it. The winning couple will be awarded cooking lessons and a trip to Paris. As three of the four couples have already torn down the wall between the living room and the kitchen, they are wanting to tie the two rooms together in look and feel. However, they may have some challenges in doing so as they may not be able to control one of the main aspects of the room. Crystal and Ray do not have the living room tie-in room constraint as they were the one couple who did not tear down the adjoining wall. Not tearing down that wall may give them problems regardless because of the long and narrow space within which they have to work. One couple has a major disagreement with their contractor, which may prove to be costly. Although always an important factor, functionality will be a more important evaluation factor than usual.
- The teams are given the unusual challenge of transforming whatever the smallest bedroom in their house is into anything but a bedroom. They have forty-eight hours and a $4,000 budget to complete the challenge, with the winner receiving a one-week Caribbean cruise for their efforts. Charlotte and Sean decide on a media room, after discussion Disa and Russell decide on a combined office and reading room, Crystal and Ray also decide on an office, and after discussion Nina and PJ decide on a kids play room, more specifically a ball pit and a climbing wall. Wanting to buck the trend thus far, Cameron issues a challenge for the men, which affects some teams more than others. With hours left, Jeremy inspects each house and has concerns with each. Ultimately the judges choose what they consider to be the most complete room, functionally and aesthetically, as the winner.
- The couples are excited by their challenge room this week - the master bedroom - if only because it means they will no longer have to sleep on the floor on air mattresses after it is completed. The things they will not have to shop for are the mattress and box-spring, which are provided for them. They have a $4,000 budget and twenty-four hours to complete the renovation, with the winning team receiving a spa getaway to Kelowna. Charlotte and Sean are aiming for a calm west coast styled oasis. Disa and Russell are continuing their Scandinavian theme, with their major piece being a wall to wall and floor to ceiling wood headboard. Crystal and Ray are going for sophistication, and for the room to stand out from the other rooms in the house. Nina and PJ are going for function and simplicity with glamor, with their featured item being a wallpapered headboard that will extend onto the ceiling over the bed. The twist Cameron throws at them is that they must incorporate four items, two from two different groups of knick knacks with one person from each couple going to a different group of items, and choosing without communicating to their partner. As the twenty-four hours counts down, the questions are whether the bigger projects, such as Disa and Russell's wood wall which requires over nine hundred pieces of wood to be cut, or the items which some couples ignored, such as Charlotte and Sean's meringue ceiling or Crystal and Ray's floor, will come back to bite them in the end.
- With their last few challenges having such tight time restrictions, the competitors are happy to learn that they have seventy-two hours to complete their bathroom renovation, which arguably is one of the more difficult rooms in the house to do. The winning team will receive one year's free house cleaning services. Charlotte and Sean want to continue their west coast modern theme with a surf feel. Disa and Russell want to do whatever they can to make what is probably the smallest of the four bathrooms seem larger. Feeling the criticism from the judges in the past, Crystal and Ray are going to scale back their spa inspired design, with an existing claw foot tub one of the benefits already there. And Nina and PJ want to create a zen feel, which they may not be feeling themselves as they work on the reno as they have decided to rearrange the room fixtures. With the renovations well underway, Cameron throws them what may be their biggest challenge to date: they will have to complete one other room renovation within their remaining time, namely the laundry room. Throughout the process, Disa and Russell run into two major issues which could throw them out of the running. The other couples may see Disa and Russell's problems as karma for Russell's actions regarding communal tools. In the end, a decision by one team for function over style and a decision by another team for style over function may not sit well in the eyes of the judges.
- The teams tackle the last room in the house, the second bedroom, as their next challenge. They have a $4,000 budget and twenty-four hours to complete the renovation. They are forced to use an item "found" from among a select number of items hidden in an antique store as the inspiration for the room. That item need not necessarily be used itself in the room, and the inspiration need not be literal. Charlotte and Sean, who have a movie director megaphone, decide on the metal and leather of the item as their inspiration for a movie glamor theme. Disa and Russell, who have a red toy car, decide on a travel theme, with a world map with their own travels marked as a focal wall. Crystal and Ray, who have a trumpet, go personal with a British military theme, based on photographs of Ray's grandfather, a trumpeter with the British military during WWI. Nina and PJ, who have a pair of crocodile cowboy boots, design a jungle themed room for their children. The evaluation of the judges is done in part on expectation, as the description of the rooms prior to the renovation often does not translate into what the judges were expecting as the end product. Another evaluation factor ends up being effort in relation to time.
- With all the rooms inside of the house renovated, the competitors are next asked to turn their attention to the outside. They have ninety-six hours and a $15,000 budget to transform the exterior of their house, the team winning this challenge who are awarded what most see as the best prize so far: $5,000 worth of outdoor recreational equipment and a trip for two to Japan to use at least the new skis. As the exterior includes the roof, they are all given lessons in roof safety, which additionally freaks some of the already freaked competitors. Unlike the previous renovations, these ones are done in full view of the other competitors, who may try figuratively to keep up with the Joneses. And a move by one competitor leads to bad feelings between neighbors.
- With their houses now complete, the four teams assess not only what they've done with their renovations but also what they think of the other three teams and their completed houses. Disa and Russell are squarely in the lead with three out of seven weekly wins and being on a roll, but them winning the house is not a guarantee as they all enter into what they learn is the final challenge: to redo in twenty-four hours what Jeremy and Cheryl see as the weakest renovation in their house. Charlotte and Sean are asked to redo their spare bedroom, the issues being to strip what is now painted over wallpaper, place something on an empty wall, and seal the headboard. Disa and Russell are asked to redo their living room, their issues being some finishes, including changing what is currently the high gloss paint job, and smoothing out the ceiling. Crystal and Ray are asked to redo their kitchen, basically finishing what they did not finish the first time around, including completing the tiling and grouting, installing some shelving and having a family photograph feature wall. Nina and PJ may have the biggest challenge in tying the two components of their great room together into one cohesive unit, those two rooms being the kitchen and living room, with the kitchen cabinet color, which was not their first choice, largely dictating what color scheme they can choose. The final twist in determining the winner is the third judge who will have an equal vote: the public, who Cameron takes through the four houses together so that each public voter sees the same thing at the same time, who do not have the history with the renovations that Jeremy and Cheryl have, but who are given "before" photographs to see from where the transformations began.
- The victim: Police Constable Greg Schultz. The killer: stand-up comic and Greg's older brother Murray Schultz. Greg's death is the first case for Oscar following his recovery and promotion to staff sergeant, Brian in his new position as Angie's partner, and the new homicide detective Mitch Kennecki, an overly cocky know-it-all because he is a legacy. Greg's death is initially deemed a suicide based on eyewitness statements, which include a selfie video with Greg in complete uniform in the background just before he stepped by the water and shot himself in the head. However, no one is able to identify Greg conclusively as the officer in question. Also despite the eyewitnesses, Greg's body and firearm, which was originally his father's, are not recovered from the water for several hours. But Oscar wants to be overly cautious before officially announcing that it is a suicide, and despite the pressure placed on him by new Police Chief Wells. Oscar has good reason to be cautious as Angie believes the person in the selfie video is indeed not Greg, but someone dressed to look like Greg, with his body dumped in the water probably several hours earlier. The case may be hindered by Mitch wanting to make a good impression on the Police Chief, he implicating Lori Schultz, Greg's widow, as the murderer. But the other homicide detectives begin to focus on Greg's estranged brother Murray, the motive for the murder much more complex than the reason for their estrangement.
- Graves embraces his dark side; Michael must prove his loyalty; Gina faces judgement.
