Big Al has a bad gold haul so he opens a new pit while a rookie miner gets Chris' dozer stuck in the mud. Karl struggles to find gold after heavy rain messes up his operation, and Bernie pushes his plant to the limit.

Big Al's gamble on a new pit pays off; Bernie almost loses another crew member after he argues with son Justin; Ken & Guillaume race to sluice before Ken leaves for the birth of his 1st child. And Karl's team tries to sluice 200 oz. of gold in a week.
