This episode starts with the family returning to their home in Eden Falls and the police arresting Cael for the school break in. He and some boys used to run a business to change students' grades. Wayne posts bail and sets up a meeting with the parents of the other boys to figure out a way to keep them out of jail. Since the police took Cael's fingerprints, he would have a record for life. The fathers agree to donate $1Mio for a new school gym.

Unfortunately, the Dean of the school insists to punish at least one of them, so Cael takes the fall to protect one of the boys. Wayne is very upset, but Cael prefers his integrity to anything else.
After moving into the new house, Sam immediately gets to work on a new mural in his room. He stumbles over some bloodstains and seems to have some idea about what happened to Pete. Sam decides to clean up and not to tell anyone about his discovery.

Wayne receives a call from his assistant, informing him that Hugh missed the investor meeting for Bayou Hill, the $150Mio project they had been planning so carefully. Wayne finds Hugh in a cheap motel doing push-ups in his underwear getting ready for a visit from a prostitute. All attempts from Wayne to convince Hugh to show up at Panco (Hugh’s Real Estate firm) are futile.

Dale suddenly shows up at Panco, blackmailing Dahlia and Wayne for a job. He insists to have a job at Panco, so he can monitor the progress on the Bayou Hills deal. He is afraid that Wayne will play him for a fool again.

Quinn is introduced as a traditional Irish Traveller who spent the last 20 years in prison for murder and has just been released. Dale meets him secretly and brags about his position at Panco. Quinn immediately seizes the opportunity to show Dale that he is the boss and scares Dale into pursuing his would-be job at Panco even more vigorously. Dale visits Dahlia in her home and threatens her life. Although Dalia would prefer to kill Dale, Wayne offers him a job as the mail boy at Panco, where Dale immediately starts reading the mail and checking all facts on the Bayou Hills project.

Quinn returns to the Traveller camp, where he is met with content from Ginni. Apparently, Quinn killed her father and uncle. Ginni takes a shot at him, but only injures him. With her attempt on his life, the Traveller code prohibits her from taking any other action and Quinn refuses to retaliate. The old account seems settled and Quinn is welcomed back into the clan.

While Dahlia is out on a drug run with Nina, she listens to a moving story at an AA meeting. After she talks to them, she decides to report to the authorities for her parole violation, obviously trying to clean up her act.

Can I just say 'Wow'. Every week I keep thinking it can't get any worse than it is, they can't shock me more than they already have - and yet, here I am again But I do have to admit that I miss the occasional wisecracking and banter between the characters.

Just a few thoughts:
I really liked that Cael stood up for the "innocent" guy. Even though it was also his typical rebellious behavior, I still liked that he did it.

I was shocked to see where Nina gets her stuff - an AA meeting at a church out of all places?!

Also, pretty intense scenes with Dahlia this week. For one, when she realizes that Wayne was lying to her - she couldn't have been more hurt and disappointed. And what the heck was she thinking going to the parole office?! However impressive this decision might be and even though I do actually 'get' why she is doing it, it can only complicate things, whether in Eden Fall or as a traveller.

So, why do you guys think Dale is teaming up with Quinn?

Good episode. I never thought I'd see Dale scared of a freakin nutcase like that.

This was probably my favorite so far from season 2. Right away after returning Cael is in trouble.

I really enjoyed this episode for Cael/Noel's part in it. He did a wonderful acting job. It was both commical and then turned to serious. I agree with his statement towards his father 100%. I am really glad, actually, to see that he got kicked out of the school. It didnt suit him.Now, hopefully we can see him back to doing more cons. (And hopefully even lead back to Tammy )

Oh I didnt catch that either. That does make more sense now. Didi seems to have a lot less interest in being a buffer this season.
I also liked Cael's role. He was definatly one of the characters that needed attention.
Wayne really does seem to be losing all the moral he had, it's like green is the only color he can see anymore.
