Schitt's Creek

Moira prepares for the performance of a lifetime while shooting the Crows film in Bosnia, but fears the disillusioned director will ruin her chance at career revival. With Moira away and plenty of free time, Johnny digs into work around the motel, and can't seem to slow down.

A sleep-deprived Moira finds a stack of Johnny's old love letters addressed to Johnny from another woman, and for the first time ever, questions Johnny's loyalty. When a burglar holds up Rose Apothecary, demanding cash, David and Stevie bend over backwards to placate the criminal. Meanwhile, Alexis goes to great lengths to retrieve a heart-shaped locket Ted gave her years ago.

Alexis and Johnny devise a plan to impress an influential travel blogger who is staying at the motel, but when their plan puts Stevie in a potentially uncomfortable situation, Johnny worries they've gone too far. Meanwhile, David and Patrick search for a new apartment, but David quickly realizes they have very different definitions of a spacious one bedroom.

Moira's red carpet gown for the Crows movie premiere arrives with a price tag that causes Johnny financial stress, especially when he learns that the motel's hot water heater is broken. Stevie takes David on a road trip under false pretenses, and when he discovers where they're really going, he declares he's being kidnapped.

David and Patrick throw a housewarming party, and Alexis encourages Ted to take a break from work and let loose, but when he does, Alexis immediately regrets it. Johnny wants to prove to Roland and Jocelyn that he and Moira are capable parents, but once he agrees to look after Roland Jr., he's quickly reminded of how tough parenting can be.

When Jocelyn becomes disheartened on a gals' night out at the casino, Moira steps in to lend advice, but Moira soon worries she has pushed Jocelyn in the wrong direction. After accidentally walking in on Stevie in her personal space, Johnny attempts to navigate a conversation about intimacy in the workplace. Meanwhile, David emboldens Patrick to go on a date and test an open relationship.

Ted's mom, Cheryl, is in town visiting, and Johnny thinks she's being flirtatious with him. Alexis is initially skeptical, but eventually sees that he may be onto something. When Moira hears that Jocelyn is directing a local production of a musical that is close to her heart, she cannot help but insert herself in the action.

While Johnny is thrilled to be attending the regional hospitality awards, Stevie has secret plans of her own for the night. Alexis volunteers to audition for the role of Sally in Cabaret, but Moira pulls out all the stops to prevent it from happening. Meanwhile, David and Patrick's bathroom renovation is taking longer than expected, and a frustrated Patrick mishandles the situation with Ronnie.

Patrick asks David to sub in for the annual Schitt's Creek baseball game, and much to Johnny's delight, David agrees. But David's anxiety goes through the roof when he discovers that he's not just a benchwarmer. Meanwhile, Moira runs a particularly intense rehearsal for Stevie and the Cabaret cast, and Alexis is forced to step in and redirect her mother.

Johnny and Moira's afternoon plans are interrupted when they hit a cat and Johnny decides they must inform the pet owner, face-to-face. David runs into an old colleague at the flea market, but his suspicions are raised when he discovers that she is selling similar products at a competitive price. Ted and Alexis find a new place to try their romantic role play: David and Patrick's store.

David plans a surprise party for Patrick, and invites his parents to town. Johnny and David soon discover Patrick hasn't been entirely truthful with his parents about his life in Schitt's Creek, and Johnny accidentally lets some of it slip. Alexis drags Moira to a local soap opera convention to make a quick buck.

Johnny volunteers to fill in for Moira at the annual Mayor's Roast, but no one thinks he has the skills to succeed. David distracts Moira with dinner dates to keep her from finding out about Stevie and Patrick's private dance lessons, but worries he can't keep up the charade much longer. Meanwhile, Ted suggests that he and Alexis should take a vacation to the Galapagos.

Patrick takes David on a long, romantic hike, but David's non-stop fussing starts to ruin the mood. When Johnny helps Moira move furniture into the theatre, he is suddenly caught off-guard by some chest pain, sending Moira, Stevie and Roland into a panic. Ted and Alexis have their tarot cards read by Twyla, who sees something very dark in their future.

It's Opening Night for Cabaret, and Stevie is nowhere to be found, forcing Moira to scramble for a replacement. Meanwhile, David tries to make a big announcement, but keeps getting overshadowed by drama surrounding the musical. Alexis is starting to feel guilty about leaving her family, and Johnny's sentimentality isn't helping.
