When word reaches them that a storm is headed for town, Kate refuses to step in line, much to the grief of Councillor Bone. Koji discovers he's been given a jacket with an unfortunate history and Medium may have lost Kate a lot of money on the horses.

Not for the first time, Kate is being sued, but this time by Councillor Bone.

Koji discovers he is under investigation for working illegally, and things do not improve when he tells Kate what he really thinks about her grandson.

However, a stand-off cannot last forever, especially with the fate of the cafe and Koji's asylum status hanging in the balance.
