An adoptee and casualty of the Sixties Scoop, Rayna now 45, is being welcomed back into her community in a public ceremony. As well as having to contend with a whole new community that seems to know everything about her, Rayna is getting to know her mother Molly Wasnoday whose passive aggressive nature is anything but welcoming. Rayna's life hits a low point during her welcome home ceremony when Molly has a confrontation with Henry and walks out, her daughter Stacia abandons her and Darryl unexpectedly shows up with further bad news.

In light of recent and unfortunate events, the Keetch family are forced to stay with Molly indefinitely. Myles is reluctantly enrolled in the reserve high school and both Darryl and Rayna search for employment. As it turns out, Darryl's knowledge and skill set is exactly what Chief Rowan Wasnoday needs to get re-elected. Rayna takes on the job of running the rundown Beezee lodge for less than minimum wage.

Darryl has charmed his way into the inner circle of Chief and council, spearheading a surefire business enterprise that will secure Chief Rowan's re-election. Rayna, now managing the Beezee lodge, discovers a young mother and her two kids squatting in one of the rooms. As the new kid in school, Myles gets targeted and bullied. At a celebratory Wasnoday dinner Rowan announces that Cannabis will be the base of his platform. His sister Tara, the reserves family doctor explodes -- Rowan's recklessness and greed will destroy the community. Rowan flippantly makes a suggestion to Tara that will come back to haunt him.
