Bon Cop, Bad Doyle
While on vacation on the Southern Shore, Jake uncovers a sophisticated smuggling ring from St. Pierre. An offshore boat equipped with a catapult fires cartons of cigarettes onto the beach, and Jake takes a carton of Player's Lights in the head. While Jake recovers, the intended recipient drives up on an ATV, and makes off with the goods. Jake tracks the smugglers to a Discotique on Miquelon, where he gets his dance on. His moves attract the attention of a gay mime named Lucien who has info for sale on the smuggling ring. One striptease later, Lucien's info leads a sexually confused Doyle to the smugglers, and a boat race ensues. The smugglers catapult dead fish at Jake's boat and blast annoying Great Big Sea songs to dissuade him. The chase ends at the old French Fort in Placentia when the smugglers are tripped up by an innocent bystander, Liz Chafe. Jake catches the smoke ring, and recruits Liz to St. John's to work at The Picadelly. Jake tells her "The Pick" is perfect for the "Placentia Bay Hot."
