 In this winter wonder episode, Dan enjoys investigating the Karmakazi-snowboard scene, where sabotage of fuel tanks upset everything, at the side of model Candace  Candy  LaRue; the hotel owner, who might have planned this to get modern fire equipment, and his ex accuse each-other; barman Sam hates the very sport. Meanwhile Zoe -who turns out Candy s former best friend- takes her nieces -whose minds and phones remain home-focused- on a  working parent guilt  ski trip to the same Dells. Candy gets Zoe s blessing to go for Dan, while Zoe s lover Marcos turns up after his volleyball tournament was canceled. They suspects Josh Dickens who has his own physiotherapist and would have lost the sponsorship without the delay but has an alibi. Julian finds out that Ryder has returned to Columbus without even telling Taylor.
