No Helmet Required

Olivia is being sued! Warren has a heart attack! Jack goes back to Philly! Plus the saddest dinner ever. Boats: is a boat ever just a boat?

Contrived love triangle perpetuates among Olivia, Jack, and Stan (come on!). Seth 2's boat has feelings for Justine. John Bowman gets more mysterious. Grace has two suitors! Jack wants to build a canoe.

THE BACHELOR AUCTION for "pet adoption." How much would you bid for a date with Moon? Or John Bowman? Time to open your checkbooks, because hey, it's for a good cause.

In this special BONUS episode, Auntie Sarah, Auntie Caren, and Uncle Brian analyze the Cedar Cove characters using the Enneagram personality typing system. We read from The Ennegram Made Easy and Are You My Type? Am I Yours? (referred to as the "cartoon books" in the podcast) by Renee Baron and Elizabeth Wagle. If you want to learn more about the Enneagram, pick up these helpful and extremely readable books!

Cedar Cove meets the the prison-industrial complex! Lenny the felon pops up in town looking for work. The mystery of the trash fire. Stan goes to counseling! SEX WEEKEND IN SEATTLE! Woodworking with Bob Belden!

Seth 2 is missing in Alaska!!! Also, Jack and Bob go fishing, Olivia contemplates a sex weekend in Seattle with Jack, things continue to remain tepid between Mary Ellen and John Bowman, and the new cowboy, Cliff, gets a library card! Listeners, the sound gets a little buzzy for a few minutes in the middle. It subsides and the second half sounds just fine.

The Westin divorce, Eric is the worst, and Grace must save the library! Judge Lockhart adjudicates a bitter case that hinges on lasagna and gendered division of labor. Tension between the Griffith men escalates. Balloons and baskets abound at the last-minute save-the-library fundraiser.

The mystery of the dead guy! (The other dead guy, not the stroke victim.) Also, it's the Art Walk! Which is background to the continuing saga of Justine and the burgeoning desires of Mary Ellen (Grace's daughter) for hunky, taciturn artist, John Bowman. Also, our suspicions are confirmed that Eric is a ne'er do well. The main event is a murder mystery at the Thyme & Tide! (Jesus, Peggy, it's not CSI Miami. Apparently it's not even Murder, She Wrote.)

Jack's son Eric is a lazy millennial! Charlotte & the stroke victim. Jack and Olivia's love life receives whiny monkey wrench in the form of Eric, his weed-scented progeny. Charlotte finally learns how to knit. The saga of Justine and Seth 2 continues. We meet Cowboy Cliff!

Auntie Sarah cannot with the lack of helmet (on a municipal judge. no less!). Uncle Brian waxes philosophical about the tragedy of masculinity. Auntie Caren makes additional comments. Hot journalist complicates Judge Lockhart's career plans. Ian and Cecilia file for divorce. Justine is torn between creepy real estate mogul, Warren Sagget, and high school sweetheart , Seth 1. We learn about Dead Jordan.

In which all the cast members get tarted up (glammy hair and pencil skirts!) and flooded with golden light. We meet Olivia's best friend, Grace! Seth 2 replaces Seth 1; Uncle and the Aunties have opinions about this "update." Olivia's mom, Charlotte, befriends a mute stroke victim. We meet Bob & Peggy Belden, owner/operators of the Thyme and Tide B&B. EVERYONE LOSES THEIR MINDS OVER THE LIGHTHOUSE!!!
