When Lacey starts up an 'Employee of the Month' program at The Ruby, Wanda tries to get Brent to do the same, but finds that she has some hurdles to jump before she gets the appreciation she feels she deserves. Hank's new hobby is knitting, much to Emma's dismay. Oscar also has a new hobby: writing for The Howler, and Karen and Davis have to keep him out of trouble.
Oscar is on a mission to get rid of an errant mouse that has found its way into Corner Gas, but Davis has a soft spot for the little rodent. Wanda hurts her back, and both Emma and Karen try to help her, but aren't very successful. Lacey spoils things for Brent and Hank when they come up with a new game.
Tonight's edition of Midnight Movie House shows Joe and Emma Red performing Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" along with a special preview of "Miss Moossy Smells a Rat".
Dog River has a sister-town in Japan, and Emma and Karen have to find an appropriate present to send after receiving and losing a gift from them. Lacey wants to make Corner Gas and The Ruby 'green' and drags a reluctant Brent into her plans. Wanda fills in as bartender at the Hotel, and starts doling out advice that no one wants.
