The Lake

Justin brings Billie, the daughter he gave up for adoption, to the lake where he spent summers as a boy. Billie is determined to return to the city, but a new friend could change her resolve. A revelation about their former family cottage gives Justin a new purpose.

Knowing Maisy needs the Boathouse board’s approval for her renovation, Justin enlists help to snag the President seat out from under her. But as usual, things don’t quite go according to plan. While Justin scrambles to salvage the election, his plans for an afternoon with Billie get lost in the mix. So Billie takes the time to conquer her fear of dark water and figure out Killian’s intentions.

Excited that Billie’s surprise visitor is her birth mom and his teenage best friend, Justin wants nothing more than to spend time with them. Problem is, he’s firmly in the doghouse after Maisy’s cookout. Exiled and adrift, Justin finds himself drawn into helping with Opal’s drag routine for the Boathouse Talent Show. Teesa signs up Billie and herself for the the show and explore the past.

Faced with the murder cabin being sold, Justin decides to reveal the Trust to Maisy with an offer to dissolve it in exchange for a buyout. Never one to compromise, Maisy strands herself and Justin on a floating dock until they can come to a new agreement. Meanwhile, Billie and Killian go on a psychedelic quest for contraceptives, and Victor grapples with body issues.

Justin and Riley’s relationship is put to the test after a spontaneous wedding goes awry and Billie makes a daring decision that could risk a prestigious internship that awaits her in the city. Meanwhile, Maisy reckons with life-changing news about an old enemy: her mother, Mimsy.

Justin makes a deal to obtain evidence that could prove his arson theory while Billie struggles to adapt to the harsh physical demands of tree planting. Meanwhile, Maisy attempts to draw out her mother’s lies with a boring AGM, but nothing seems to crack Mimsy’s veneer.

Maisy uses the anniversary of Derrick’s death to get Mimsy to confess to burning down the Boathouse with Justin’s help. Desperate for any opportunity to avoid her sibling love triangle, Billie agrees to go to Derrick’s anniversary dinner in exchange for Justin promising to get her a job from Maisy.

When her parents come for a visit, Billie has to make good on her lie that she’s been giving tours for the lake for her summer job. Justin and Riley pose as a happy couple to secure a property for the Boathouse rebuild while Maisy struggles to deal with the reality of her mother’s illness.
