The Social Doyle

Jake finally decides to "get with the times" and asks Des to help him set up a Facebook account. Unfortunately, Jake discovers he only has two friends - Walter and Rose. Jake quickly gives up on "The Facebook" and decides he might have better luck with ChatRoulette.

Winter's Doyle

Because it's winter and winter is cold Jake decides just to hibernate instead of risking the frost-bite he would be sure to get by going shirtless in St. John's in February. Crime rates skyrocket in Jake's self-imposed absence.

Just in time for Oscar Season: Doyle Story 3

The Doyle Knight

Jake looks up the meaning of the family name Doyle online, and discovers it means "dark foreigner." Jake is so pleased with this, he insists that everyone call him "the dark foreigner" and the name of the show to be changed to "Republic of Dark Foreigner."

Everyone is annoyed, but Jake goes farther, trying to look and act mysterious, and playing his new theme song "Hot Blooded" on bust.

City council places a dark foreigner signal on top of city hall, so that whenever the dark foreigner is needed, he can see the glowing sunglasses in the sky. Council then convinces the dark foreigner that they need him to be the villain for St. John's for a while, and Jake happily runs off into hiding. Everyone sighs in relief that Jake is having a timeout.

Doyle Story 3

Jake finally starts to come to terms with the fact that he is really nothing more than an abs bearing boy toy, the Ken doll of private detecting. Apparently no one takes him seriously, or even really wants him in their lives for more than a few years, Malachy included. How will Jake come to terms with this realization about his uselessness? Easy, a death-defying escape/road trip with Walter, all the while being chased by the evil Martin Poole (their only real enemy). Fortunately they make it through the death trap that is the Holyrood power plant and back to St. John's, where they find a new bar to take them in and appreciate them anew.

True Doyle

While working on a case Jake is kidnapped and given a truth serum. Shortly after the serum is administered and the needed information given up Jake is released in a cow field in the Goulds.

Amazingly, the serum seems not to be wearing off - meaning that Jake can't tell a lie. Not surprisingly this state of affairs proves problematic (and humorous) in the private detecting business and causes Jake to botch a big case for the Doyles. But where it really impacts Jake's life is in the realm of lust. How is he supposed to play both Leslie and the hot crown prosecutor if he can't lie to one or both of them? What if one of them asks him if he loves them? Finally, Jake is forced to admit who he loves the most. The answer, not surprisingly, is himself (Nikki turns out to be in second place).

The Doyle's Speech

Jake is to be called to testify in a case that is being prosecuted by the elegant and educated hot crown prosecutor. Jake realizes that he should have something of a speech prepared with which to impress his audience, and that he should do his best to diminish his Goulds accent (so that he can appear as refined as possible for this hot mainlander). Walter, though he too has a bit of a Newfoundland accent, is enlisted to help Jake mainland-up his speech for the court appearance. Because the b'ys decide to hold their elocution lessons in the Duke over a few pints they are less effective than hoped for, and they cause Jake to forget to prepare for his appearance. Not surprisingly, Jake's fourth rate testimony wrecks the hot crown prosecutor's case, causing the perp to go free, and causing the hot crown prosecutor to be less than impressed with Jake. Fortunately for Jake, Leslie is kicking around on a back burner somewhere and just needs a phone call to be brought back into play.

The Doyles Are All Right

Jake eventually comes to the realization that he is more than just a Doyle, he is also 50% of whatever his mother was. Though Malachy is hesitant to provide many details about his mother, Jake is eventually able to figure out her maiden name and track down her family (he does have those Doyle detecting skills after all). As expected, Jake takes an interest in this new family and wants to get to know them and which genetic traits/powers he may have because of them. Obviously, through all of this Mal feels spurned. Wasn't he a good enough father? Can't Jake just be happy to be a Doyle? Eventually Jake realizes that even though he may be technically 50% of whatever his mother was, functionally he is 100% Doyle.

127 Doyles

In the midst of the confusion of a large Doyle family reunion someone absconds with the roast pig. Immediately the Doyle family jumps into actions and begins investigating the theft. Several different groups of Doyles are followed, which allows different detecting styles to be highlighted. As usual, Jake and Mal take a Jake getting punched in the face approach, Faustus employs some of the mysticism of the East, while Mal's brother Jimmy reverts to his backwoods stylings. All the while the Green Bay Doyles just look on and laugh (they have already consumed the missing pig).

How to train your Doyle

In the days after her marriage to Mal, Rose sets about getting her stepsons to behave properly and to treat women with respect. Of course neither Christian nor Jake respond well to having a new wannabe mother figure telling them what to do. In fact, both boy rebel and end up treating all of the women in their lives with even less respect, which is a fairly impressive feat when you consider who it is we are talking about. It is only when Jake and Christian realize that having Rose put in a good word for them might be of use do they start trying to endear themselves to Rose.

The Last King of Doyle

Jake travels to West Africa to put his medical degree to use, and volunteers for Doctors Without Borders, because he's that kind of guy. He returns to Newfoundland to discover that the province has lost Labrador to Quebec and seceded. Newfoundland is now an independent country, the Democratic People's Republic of Newfoundland. Jake meets the Dear Leader and Man of a Thousand Songs, Ron Hynes, and becomes his personal doctor and PI. Hynes' leadership is inspirational, but Newfoundland falls on hard times and hits bankruptcy...again.

The international courts decide to divide Newfoundland into territories based on geology: the eastern half is governed by a group of West African countries, and the western half is governed by the League of United States' Appalachian States. These new influences and the rush of immigrants from both parts of the world divides West and East Newfoundland further, until civil war breaks out.

Jake ends the war, reunites the country, helps deliver a baby in a taxi, and beds more than the usual number of ladies.
After Doyle crowns himself King of Newfoundland, there is still enough time left in the episode for Newfoundland to invade Russia.
