When his high school on-again-off-again girlfriend Stacey (Warehouse 13's Joanne Kelly) shows up to town with her new husband, Jake's heart hit a bit of a brick wall despite his new relationship with Constable Leslie (Krystin Pellerin), but things only got worse when she asked him to find out if her husband was "going out on her." You gotta love the Newfie expressions
Doyle made himself an idiot again and again for this girl, but it was totally in keeping with the way he behaves around most of the women in his life, and really showed that, despite what you may think, he has in fact come a far way since high school. I must commend the choice of having a record come to a screeching halt to moment he saw her, with a quick cut to a juke box malfunctioning. Cliches can still be awesome when used correctly.
Then again, Doyle getting into a car chase with the RCMP, and only ending up in jail under suspicion of murder, with no charges being levied for the first offense is a little unbelievable. Of course, since Frank, the bad guy in all of this, accidentally shot himself in the neck and is now not worth rolling on despite his connections with the Montreal Mafia, I suppose it's not such a big deal.
The most memorable part of the episode, though I did enjoy it all very much, was when Rose (Lynda Boyd) confessed to Malachy (Sean McGinley) that she was married and that her husband had just got out of jail. Her difficulty in admitting the fact, and Malachy's short, dismissive, and slightly cruel answer suited the pair perfectly, and I am anxious to see how the whole thing will work out.
Whether or not Jake and Leslie will work out, however, is another story. I would say they are cute, but I don't entirely get the attraction. I mean, I understand how a person could be attracted to either, but...well maybe it's that I don't believe Krystin Pellerin is in love. Which is unfortunate, and gives me more desire for Jake to reconcile with his wife, who is also crazy just like him.
