This episode is about everything. Scattergun. Centered is the news from the Alaskan government that Joel will not get a vacation because there is no replacement for him, leaving the town in danger. So our whiney medic decides to go on strike and withhold medical services. Of course, this leads to reprisals from the community. That's one thing. Then we have a guy who has decided that he will wander for the rest of his life, living off anything offered him, and scrounging for the rest. I found him to be mentally ill, but so what. In the most boring thing, Mike and Maggie end up getting it on, even though she thinks it will lead to his death. Holling apparently, hibernates like a bear and is asleep, leaving Shelly to do all the work. And finally, Chris is breaking into people's houses, stealing light bulbs, and drawing attention to himself again, leading to the grand finale. While entertaining, it's a mess of a plot.
