Home Alone
After a winter cooped up in the cabin with Rich and Pan, Gloria can't wait to be alone. But when the men ride off on a treacherous hunt for missing cattle, she discovers springtime in the wilderness brings out more than the flowers.
Charades
The discovery of Kit's secret identity prompts a trip to town. There Pan rekindles his torrid affair with the widow Franklin. Rich manages to locate Kit's father, but when the man shows his true colors, Gloria unites her partners to assure Kit's place on the ranch.
The Stud
Money woes and male competition are front and center when Gloria's best friend Muriel arrives at the ranch with Connor, an ex-beau of Gloria's. Rich is worried that city life may reclaim his bride, but Pan's running bid to obtain a prize stallion will prove once and for all who's ""the stud.""
Sex, Lies and Narrow Escapes
Inept ranch hands, calving cows and nosy neighbors keep interrupting Rich and Gloria's private life. It's going to take the RCMP, a copy of ""Lady Chatterley's Lover,"" and a moose testicle to get them back together.

Rich's obsession with clearing more land for hay leads to a risky plan to build a giant harrow. When her prize new horse is pressed into service to pull it, Gloria discovers that building the world's biggest cattle ranch is a costly dream.
House Guests and Fish
Rich didn't know the widow Franklin would be the house guest from hell. Distraught over her son, who's missing in action, she's browbeating Gloria into domesticity and attracting the dubious attention of a pig farmer - a situation which could force Pan to take drastic measures.
The Shape of Things to Come
When a big-city mining promoter shows up prospecting, Rich and Pan figure it'll be easy money guiding him in circles. But their mark proves to have big-city savvy, boundless energy, and a grand vision of the future that threatens to ""civilize"" the north.
Wild Horses
Rich has double booked himself--Gloria's thinks they're celebrating their first anniversary, and Pan thinks they're going wild horse hunting. The solution? Rich takes the wife wild horse hunting, and Gloria learns some hard lessons in frontier living.
A Year and a Day
Gloria takes advantage of Pan's absence to have a romantic evening with Rich, but champagne leads to Truth or Consequences and the going gets tough. The going is tough out on the trail, too, where Pan faces a crisis of his own.
