    **EPISODI 1 STAGIONE

    Homecoming

    A new season in the ski resort town, and Whistler celebrates with the grand opening of the Beck McKaye Training Facility. Quinn returns home from university to attend the dedication to his brother and discovers that, while everything else is different, his feelings for Carrie are as strong as always.

    Blindside

    Quinn fights for a spot on the Whistler snowboard team and is sideswiped when he finds out that Carrie may have moved on. Carrie's torn with a choice between rekindling things with Quinn or taking a chance on her new, charming boyfriend, Griff.
    Adrien's nemesis, Jada, tightens the screws of her control over the resort, forcing Adrien to take drastic action. Jen fights not to act on her attraction to her new lodger, Derek - a hot, young cop only a few years older than her son.
    Ryan's winning at the casino, but losing at life. After getting beaten to a pulp by a gang of thugs who couldn't win at the tables, Ryan's forced to reassess his life and realizes there's one thing missing: Nicole. Given their history, Nicole's twice shy, but will she realize her true feelings before it's too late?


    Hazed and Confused

    Quinn's commitment to the snowboard team is put to the test during the club's hazing ritual, Hell Week. The team's star boarder, Travis, would like nothing better than to see him quit. As if that wasn't bad enough, Quinn discovers that his mother is having a secret affair with Derek.
    Carrie and her roommate, Leah, struggle to make ends meet when their former roommate takes off with the rent. Carrie's new boyfriend, Griff, steps up to help out while Nicole tries to walk the fine line of respecting Carrie's independence and being her big sis.
    Adrien tries to woo a foreign investor so he can regain control of Varland Resort, but his scheme looks doomed to fail when he comes up against Jada's new weapon - Ryan. Jada has not only hired Ryan back at the resort to keep tabs on Adrien, but she's given him Adrien's old job.

    Passion Plays

    Quinn tries to get over Carrie by getting back into the dating scene and who better to help him than Leah? But is Leah interested in being more than just a wing-man? And what's Quinn going to do when a girl he's dating turns into a stalker?
    After promising Nicole that he wouldn't tell Carrie the truth about her lineage, Adrien finds more creative methods for getting to know her, including offering Griff sponsorship from Varland Gear.
    Nicole uses a charity art auction at the resort as an excuse to meet a local artist she admires, Elias Noth, only to discover that he's not only brilliant and talented but also a drop-dead gorgeous pain-in-the-butt. Nicole turns on the charm to secure a donation for the auction, but in spite of his acerbic attitude what she wants is much more than art.


    Always a Bridesmaid

    Quinn, Griff and Travis go on a backcountry boarding trip that leaves Travis injured. Quinn stays behind to take care of Travis while Griff gets help, but as night descends, the temperature plummets and fog socks in the mountain. Though a rescue seems impossible, Ryan refuses to stand idly by and risks his life to try and rescue his nephew. While Quinn struggles to survive, his friends and family can only wait, terrified the mountain will claim another McKaye.

    A news report on the Whistler Snowboard Team spawns contention between Quinn and Griff just before they travel with Carrie and Leah to a snowboarding competition in Washington State. From Carrie's car breaking down, to nearly getting busted for drugs while crossing the border, their trip doesn't look like it can get any worse...

    Meanwhile, Adrien attempts to get his resort back by making his estranged father an offer he can't refuse - one that comes at a great expense to Adrien. Ryan discovers Jada is up to more than he could have imagined and has to wonder just what kind of person he's working for.



    Rules of Attachment, Part 2


    Jen starts to find Derek's attention a little claustrophobic, but she breathes a sigh of relief when Derek appears to take a shine to Nicole - how could she possibly suspect what he's really got planned?
    Carrie struggles with the decision to tell Quinn the truth about Leah and Travis - a truth with potentially devastating consequences. While she weighs her friendship with Leah against her history with Quinn, Carrie realizes she might not be just trying to "do the right thing".
    Adrien is compelled to visit his father for the first time in years when he learns that Jada has been interfering in his affairs. Despite Jada's best efforts to keep them apart, Adrien must find a way to get to his father, but will it be a warm reunion or will Adrien discover that some things never change?
