Visitors from Southern California are overheard complaining about the Mexican food in Big Harbor. Maria enters the Harbor's Burrito Festival contest, rigged by DeLa Vega, who brings in ringers from Los Angeles. Debbi travels to San Francisco. Linda and Doug give-up for awhile.

Episode 6 – A Three Hour Tour
An homage to Gilligan’s Island with Uncle Jake as the skipper. While Debbi struggles with her long-distance relationship, a major storm beaches the ship overnight on a remote island (which they think is Vashon Island). No cell service or WIFI, and no supplies!
Episode 7 – The Patriot Invasion
While Debbi returns to SF, football fans from Boston take over the B&B during a weekend clash with the Seattle Seahawks. Off the field, it's the super-intense Bostonians vs the laid-back Seattlites. The contrasts become a contest which shows up in different clothing, foods, and local slang (“say your “R”s), prompting DeLa Vega to set-up a gambling den.
Episode 8 – Theft, She Wrote
While Debbi meets someone on the plane home, a mysterious theft at the B&B has everyone looking for the culprit. Angela Lansbury guest stars, and identifies the thief: Don Diego DeLa Vega. Meemo threatens the local judge, "Case dismissed." The chief of police vows to put DeLa Vega away.
Episode 9 – Canada is Only a Short Drive Away
Political humor about American citizens moving to Canada, while wacky Sally brings some Canadians to Big Harbor. Linda and Debbi double-date with men from Vancouver; one successful, the other, not so much. Debbi reveals she's pregnant.
