* ItsAlwaysSpring: The bulk of the episode takes place in and around Regina, Saskatchewan on November 16, 2003, the date of the Grey Cup final game that year. Since the show is filmed in the summer, the trees are green and leafy and the weather is depicted as warm enough to only warrant light jackets. However, in real life, daytime temperatures that time of year in Regina are often below freezing and the trees are mostly bare by then.

In this episode, all plots are tied to the characters trying to reach the Grey Cup. No one makes it.

A Plot: Lacey and Brent are on their way to the game when they run out of gas. Too prideful to get help, Brent goes out in search of gas, while Lacey secretly calls a tow truck. After being stranded out behind a farm house, the two have a "moment", but are interrupted.

B Plot: Oscar and Hank take some time to stop by Oscar's old buddy's house, but are shocked to find that he's dead. Oscar decides to help himself to the guy's belt, until he's caught and they're thrown in jail.

C Plot: Davis and Karen make it all the way to the stadium, but can't find their tickets. In an attempt to buy tickets from a scalper, Davis accidentally solicits an officer posing as a prostitute and is hauled in.

D Plot: Emma and Wanda stop for some dollar store shopping before the game. They run into trouble when Emma is accused of stealing a bracelet, something Wanda had cheaply bought her as a Christmas gift.

In the end, none of the groups actually make it to the Grey Cup. Not willing to admit this, they all lie to each other by saying they saw the game and it was great.
