Episode 1What Ralph Left Behind60 min
Even though they brought in Tiny Bellows, Ricky is not convinced that Dottie and Brandi are legitimate bounty hunters, so they go after Tommy Van Slyke, a bounty hunter himself who is on the run after a shooting. The Thorsons think they might have an advantage in tracking Tommy because he was one of Ralph's closest friends.
Episode 2The Kid60 min
The Thorsons get custody of an amiable, talkative young man wanted on a minor offense, but he soon involves them in more complicated and dangerous matters. Also, Dottie and Brandi try filming a television commercial.
Episode 3Springing Tiny60 min
Dottie and Brandi are tracking down Dupree Scaife, a specialist in stealing SUV's. Dottie goes to see Tiny in jail looking for leads. Tiny, resigned to his stay in jail, nevertheless maintains that he is innocent of the murder charge that placed him there. Dottie begins to look into leads in Tiny's case as well as Dupree's. Brandi discourages her, thinking that proving Tiny's innocence isn't their job. But she's also concerned about the growing affection she sees between her mother and the convict.
Episode 4Scattered60 min
A dissatisfied Brandi leaves school and strikes out on her own with a different partner, looking for the same quarry as her mother.
Episode 5Surprise Party60 min
To try to round up the maximum number of bail-jumpers with the minimum amount of effort, the Thorsons put out the word that they're having a party with food, beer and football on a big screen TV. They hope that about a half-dozen skips will show up, but when party time arrives the number attending is more like thirty. Dottie and Brandi have their hands full with their unsavory guests, nosy neighbors and curious cops, but their real problem is that one skip, a big, violent, dangerous one, realizes that he's in the house that used to belong to Papa Thorson.
