The Lure of the Labrador Doyle

Jimmy Doyle, Mal's brother and a long-time resident of Labrador's south coast, insists that Rose and Tinny finally be brought up to meet him. Given Jimmy's tendency to over-drink Jake decides that he should tag along to keep an eye on things. Des decides to go because he won't have anything to do if he left in St. John's without the Doyles.

Of course, as soon as they they arrive Tinny gets up to her usual saucy hijinks and refuses to participate in any of the planned activities. The upside is that while everyone is away for the day Tinny gets to walk around downtown Forteau. Not surprisingly, Tinny notices a strange boat with some bulky boxes.

When the rest of the Doyle clan returns from a day of adventures Tinny fills everyone in on what she saw. They all decide that Jimmy's plans need to be put on hold and that the suspicious boat needs to be investigated. (Of course, we can't forget that Jimmy is a Doyle and therefore naturally endowed with private detecting skills.)

When the Doyles finally have enough evidence they call in Leslie to make a drug bust.

Surprise, surprise, the shipment was just the annual coastal boat delivering the town's supplies. Leslie is not impressed. As soon as Jimmy sobers up he realizes that by not recognizing the boat he has tarnished the Doyle name. Will Leslie ever be able to trust the Doyles again? With the RNC still have any resources after their failed large-scale helicopter and boat based bust in Labrador?
