While out talking to another PI firm Jake encounters a recent college grad, Paul Murphy, who seems to have a different, yet insightful, take on the private detecting industry.  Without consulting Mal or the Doyles, Jake hires this young'un and asks him to help them re-imagine how they go about private detecting.  As Jake has always known, with their small budget they will have to do more with less and find value where others aren't looking.

Of course, it's not long before Jake experiences some reluctance on the part of the other Doyles to accept the approach suggested by this new member of the Doyle team.

What Paul sees is that fighting crime is all about the numbers.  He suggests a few crime hotspots for Jake to stake out and just wait for crimes to happen.

Before anyone, particularly the RNC, knows what's happening Jake and the rest of the Doyle's are foiling most of St. John's crimes before they are even happening.  Of course, the Doyles soon realize that if they keep foiling crimes before they are committed that there will be no one to hire them to solve crimes.

The Doyles and the RNC realize that Paul Murphy must go if they are to keep their jobs and livelihoods.  With Leslie acting as a conduit a scheme is hatched to plant evidence on Paul and then promise him that unless he leaves the province for good he will end up on jail.  Problem solved.
