A big night out on the town results in a car flying off Pearl Bay's condemned bridge. Several of the locals are under suspicion until Grey points the finger at Reg, the local garbage collector with a drinking problem. If Laura sentences such a popular local, she risks alienation, and when she isn't invited to a Jelly bash, she decides it is time she conformed with the local women.

In just 24 hours, corporate lawyer Laura Gibson's life is decimated. She is passed up for partnership, her son is expelled, and she discovers her husband has squandered their life savings and has been cheating on her. Desperate to escape, she accepts a job as magistrate of a small coastal town and packs her kids into the station wagon, headed for Pearl Bay.

As the news of Carmen and Max's affair infiltrates the town, Carmen heads to the city, feigning excitement about a job interview. Max feels guilty, but Carmen insists she is not leaving Pearl Bay because of him. When the new local administrator forms plans to build a tunnel between Pearl Bay and Port Deakin, Meredith and Bob form an unlikely alliance and call for a complete Port Deakin boycott.

In times gone by, Diver Dan, Angus, and other local men formed a syndicate to share the cost of an Armani suit they could call upon for formal occasions. The arrangement had gone without incident until Laura's sister, Trudi, arrives in town, and the men battle to impress her. Trudi herself is focused on trying to patch things up with her sister, but Laura's hostility runs deep.

While Laura's on a one-way track to the altar, Max announces he has accepted a lucrative job with an international newspaper and will be leaving Pearl Bay-and Laura-behind. Of all things, a trivia night question causes Max to reassess his life. Meanwhile, Bob launches his mayoral campaign with Morton's backing.

Laura suffers the fallout of a canceled wedding, while Miranda and Craig are arrested for trespassing after protesting at the tunnel site. When Laura learns all the police and legal authority in town are Morton's Port Deakin stooges, she quits her position as magistrate. The townsfolk pray for a miracle to save Pearl Bay, and Laura and Max have a momentous choice to make.

Laura desperately wants to be honest with Warwick about her night with Max, but the moment constantly eludes her. With the rocky Jelly marriage creating bad PR, Morton threatens Heather into supporting Bob to keep face, but Heather fights back. Max's investigations into Morton's enterprise reveal shocking information.

The locals brace themselves to be reconnected with the outside world as Bob proudly awaits the opening of the repaired bridge. Carmen's due date has arrived, but with the baby failing to make an appearance, she worries something has gone wrong. Laura and Dan decide to consummate their mutual attraction, come hell or high water-which may literally be the case.
