- The story of the Grant siblings - Howard E. Grant, Helen Callbreath, Larry Grant and Gordon J. Grant - now in the twilight of their lives, and their connection to their mother's First Nations (Musqueam) heritage and reconnecting to their father's southern Chinese heritage is told. Their parents, Agnes Grant and Tim Hing Tong, met when he emigrated to Vancouver from China in 1920 and worked on the leased farmland on the Musqueam Reserve in the southwestern corner of the city with his family. Because of the racist policies of the Canadian government of the time (as demonstrated through the Indian Act and the head tax), Agnes and Tim were separated when they began to have children, who lived mainly with her on the reserve, with Tim having lived most of his married life in Chinatown. Despite being denied Indian status, the four offspring got to know their Musqueam heritage well living with their mother, who was one of the community historians and storytellers, while they, out of circumstances even beyond not seeing their father much, even when they did live with him in Chinatown, did not know much about his side of the family, especially as their Chinese Vancouver area relations were hesitant to visit the homeland and the ancestral village for fear of not being allowed back in Canada, that fear, again, due largely to the historically racist policies against the Chinese. Ultimately with the encouragement of their extended family on their father's side in Vancouver, the three brothers, with some of those extended family members, head back to China and their father's ancestral village of Sei Moon in Guangdong province to reconnect with that side of their heritage, not knowing if they would be welcomed seeing as to their First Nations blood on their mother's side.

- As dawn breaks and most of the city still sleeps, the long-time merchants of Vancouver's Chinatown are hard at work. They haul out their produce stands and set up their makeshift vendor carts in preparation for what they hope will be a busy day. But, like many ethnic enclaves in urban centres across North America, their clientele is dwindling. This once vibrant and thriving neighbourhood is in flux as new condo developments and non-Chinese businesses move in and gradually overtake the declining hub of the Chinese community. Everything Will Be, from Sundance award-winning director Julia Kwan, captures this fascinating transformation through the intimate perspectives of the neighbourhood's residents, diverse merchants and new entrepreneurs, who offer their poignant reflections on change, memory and legacy. A public art installation erected on the roof of a local real estate mogul's contemporary art gallery - housed in one of the oldest buildings in Chinatown - illuminates in neon the words 'EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT.' Night and day, this sign looms over Chinatown. Everything is going to be alright. The big question is - for whom?

- Octogenarian brothers Bill Wong and Jack Wong have owned and operated Modernize Tailors in Vancouver's Chinatown for sixty of the business' ninety year existence. Despite having engineering degrees, they decided on taking over the family business, started by their father, out of circumstance. In its heyday, Modernize, once the largest tailor shop in the city, had twenty employees, but now in an era of buying clothes off the rack, it is down to a staff of two, a coat maker and a pant maker, both who have been with the company for fifty years. In their advanced ages, Bill and Jack have to decide what to do with the business, they neither wanting it to die with them or having a family member take it over out of family pressure, without a want or aptitude of tailoring. And as one interviewee states, the number of tailors that are born in the city every year (to take over the business) is zero. Regardless, Bill and Jack's younger more famous businessman/philanthropist brother Milton Wong has purchased the property across the street, the business' original site, for the brothers to live in retirement with a small storefront which they can use to continue a hobby business or to sell to whomever might want to buy the business. Currently, there are three potential roads Modernize could go after they move. One, the only guaranteed of the three but the least desirable, is that the business can fold whenever Bill and Jack decide to retire. Two, local part-time fashion reporter, J.J. Lee, a faithful customer and an architect by training (a career which he has not pursued), has expressed a desire to apprentice with the brothers only to take over the business if he shows a true aptitude in tailoring, that aptitude which is not a certainty. Or three, David Wilkes, the tailor at the local outlet of upscale Holt Renfrew, also a faithful customer, has also expressed a possible interest in taking over the business, especially if imminent job prospects with tailors in London's Savile Road, arguably the center of upscale menswear in the world, do not come to pass. The issues with two and three are that they are only expressions of interest, and that J.J. and David, while having their hearts with Modernize, may not see the business as being a true practicality in their lives.

- The OCU's report on the grow-op shooting is released, the report stating that there was a fire department inspection notice posted which was a major cause of the outcome. Most officials are not happy with the report findings and question the accuracy of the report, these including Da Vinci, Savoy, Leary, Komori, Welles and Forrest. Although Jacobs is satisfied, he still needs to carefully spin the report findings. He and Klotchko decide to lay whatever police blame on Ferris' shoulders. But Ferris decides she is not going away, so Klotchko needs to do something to placate her in her chosen career path. Leary is still doing his independent investigation of the incident, but a pissed off Welles decides to file a formal complaint to the police complaints commission. Not wanting an all-out war between the police and fire & rescue, Da Vinci tries to intervene, which may be a misstep on his part. At City Hall, Da Vinci and his team do their last minute canvassing for the slot machine support, tying the slots to the hiring of more police officers. And Da Vinci's negotiations with the Port Authority and Billie Simms about development on the waterfront and the transfer of Crab Park to the City proceeds to a near conclusion. The squat at Crab Park seems to be a long term proposition, but McNab's bigger concern is finding out more about the man calling himself Joe Friedland. With the investigation on the pedophile ring, Curtis tries to insinuate himself into the investigation to cover his own tracks. After conferring with Homicide, Leary does speak to Curtis to try and get whatever valuable information about the basic framework of the pedophile ring, especially Dubreau's involvement, while taking any information about Curtis' own involvement with a grain of salt.
- 2005–200644m7.2 (22)TV EpisodeThe Mayor proposes a drop-in center for the hookers in the fenced and gated red-light district for their health and safety - they would be required to go there following any business transaction in the district. He now needs to sell the concept to everyone, the biggest hurdle being Jacobs. However Da Vinci, Mah and Berger don't see it as an issue as they can get rid of the chief under the ploy of an early performance review tied to budget overruns in the department. Da Vinci learns it may be financially costly as they may need to buy-out the chief's contract. Jacobs and Klotchko meet with union chief, Earl Sweeney, to discuss police department PR problems. Although the aboriginal community is uncertain Leary can accomplish anything, they cooperate with him on his investigation of the repeated rapes of young aboriginal boys, including the deaths of Garth and Dennis. Messner admits that he knows more than he previously told Leary. Leary also receives information that the perpetrator could have been a radio talk show host and that the police may have been involved. Ferris and her gang of renegade constables decide to take down what they suspect is a biker grow-op regardless of if there are any other investigations on the house. There, they find that the fire department, in a new initiative, has placed a notice on the door stating that they are investigating the house, a suspected grow-op, as a fire hazard. This measure clears out the house, which irks Ferris and her gang who want the glory. Based on a tip, Carter brings in a youth, Colin Rainier, as a suspect in the Lost Lagoon beating death. Rainier implicates some of his colleagues, among which are a bunch of girls, led by someone named Katie. Kosmo and Finn investigate a series of car shooting deaths, some of which look to be mistaken identities. Tom Venice gives Da Vinci short notice that he is selling the racetrack. Da Vinci negotiates with Manning possibly to buy the track. Zack convinces Friedland to take the squat to Crab Park instead of the touristy Queen Elizabeth Park. Zack and Da Vinci also know that Jacobs has a mole in the squat, but Zack doesn't yet know who it is. Just as they are about to move, the police raid the squat and haul off Friedland while Da Vinci, Zack's supposed protector, is doing a PR stint with Billie Simms.
- The Red Light District opens relatively smoothly, despite both the johns and the girls being wary about the openness. Businesses in the area are starting to rally against it, the business coalition led by Mina Basra. Klotchko and Sweeney get tipped that the city is doing a search for a new police chief. The city starts their interviews and get valuable first hand information on the value and effectiveness of cross training. There seems to be unofficial cooperation happening already with the fire department posting inspection notices on suspected grow-ops, which has the effect of the house being vacated. However Ferris and her gang have different ideas, Ferris who wants to make a name for herself in the police ranks. Klotchko and Jacobs also do whatever they can to thwart the fire departments measures as well as the success of the Red Light District. Despite the police raid, the squat successfully moves from the Watson's Building to Crab Park. However Da Vinci is dismayed to learn that Zack has taken a leadership role in the squat, which would not look good if that were ever made public. Kosmo and Finn continue their investigation of the drive-by shootings, one of the deaths who looks to be the victim of mistaken identity. The real target of the shootings seems to be an ex-police officer, Vijay Kumar, who was fired from the force due to suspicions of corruption. In his investigation of the aboriginal boys' case, Leary discovers the name of the suspected ex-deejay involved, his name being Anthony Mottola. Mottola's daughter provides Leary with some incriminating evidence against her father. The evidence also points to there being an organized pedophile ring. Both Manning and Woo independently show interest in buying the race track, only if the slot machines are approved.
- The investigation of the grow-op deaths gets under way. Jacobs, in an effort to distance the police department from the killings, calls in the Organized Crime Unit, stating that it is their jurisdiction since it is purported that a major drug organization is involved. This is only one area of disagreement as Chick, the lead investigator, states that the grow-op involved was a "Mom and Pop" operation. The other major disagreement is between Ferris, Winters, by association the police department and the fire department. Ferris and Winters emphatically state that they saw a inspection notice at the grow-op issued by the fire department, that notice which was not recovered at the scene. Ferris and Winters imply that the fire department, protecting their own, took the notice away from the crime scene. Komori flatly denies that a notice was issued at that house. After Da Vinci gets police and fire together to discuss the situation amicably, an inspection notice is found at the crime scene, five days after the fact. Leary's investigation into Dubreau gets deeper. Leary investigates a former charge against Dubreau, that issued by a former street hustler, Manny Zapata. Zapata names a former narc as an accomplice of Dubreau's, that narc being Brian Curtis. The Red Light District gets a little quieter following the beating of a john. Both the johns and girls in the district are nervous. An official citizen's coalition of purported business owners of the district has lodged a complaint against the district. Mah however can't find any of the "names" on the coalition as being business owners of the area. It seems as if Billie Simms may be involved. Da Vinci tries to maintain control of the squat at Crab Park, especially as it is on federal land and the Port Authority, to whom the land belongs, wants the land back for major development. Katie is brought in for questioning regarding the gay bashing death in Stanley Park.
- A basement suite fire claims the lives of two, Daniel Dupont and his infant son Peter, the house which was owned by Daniel's father who is distraught over the incident. Da Vinci and the fire investigator are about to rule the fire accidental, until Daniel's father offers some information about threatening shoplifters at Daniel's collector LP business and until the investigators find some cigarette butts outside the basement suite's window. Rose Williams, who helped Da Vinci with some robbery information, tries to use this case as a stepping stone into Homicide. Kosmo, in her continuing investigation of Alex Mills, wants to dig up a newly poured concrete floor in one of his abandoned houses, Kosmo thinking that Alex's wife, Sarah, is buried underneath. Some new evidence prematurely stops the excavation at the house, but not before Chick finds a body, however not that of Sarah. Despite finding the body, Kosmo can no longer hold Mills, but convinces Kurtz to allow her to conduct an undercover surveillance operation on Mills. Kosmo is somewhat surprised at Kurtz's choice of the undercover operator. At the archaeological dig site, Sunny discovers more bodies in shipping crates and a separate body with a bullet wound to the head. Chick surmises that the separate body was someone of Chinese descent. The Chinese community becomes involved, wanting to ensure the bodies get a proper burial. On a personal front, Leary and Sunny's relationship seems to be on the skids.
- Two suspicious fires are investigated. The first is a car fire which killed the car's occupant. And the second is on the exterior of Kosmo's house, the fire which took place while she was at home. Evidence indicates the two were set by the same person. Sue is rushed to hospital on a possible OD. As with all of Curtis' cases, the murder charges against Sue are going to be stayed of which she is unaware, leading to her taking an extraordinary measure while in the hospital. In preparation for the announcement of his candidacy for mayor, Da Vinci brings his team together to discuss his platform, including the controversial issues of expanding the number of safe injection sites and creating a red light district. However some leaked news indicates that there is a mole in Da Vinci's team working in part for his political foe and possible mayoral candidate, the acting mayor Joyce Simkins. Da Vinci uses this mole for his own purposes. He also learns he has an ally in the opposing camp. Leary accuses Simms of knowing and covering up that Tuan was behind Summers' death. Chick and Carter monitor Tuan's movement, thinking he is being aided by Simms to flee to the States while Leary tries to secure an arrest warrant to nab him before he flees. Leary receives pressure from Jacobs and Klotchko to do something he doesn't want to do in this case. What Leary decides to do is based on where he sees his professional future. And the perpetrator of a slew of bank robberies is found dead, the perpetrator well-known to those in the Police Department.
- In the Police Department, there are some assignment changes. Suki has moved into the Robbery Division. Curtis is now partnered with Marla, an old colleague of Suki's from the police academy. Suki sees Marla as just a female version of Curtis. Williams has been promoted to Homicide, where she's partnered with Shannon. And Kosmo and Leary are now partnered. This change may do Leary some good as he, who still deeply affected by Josie's shooting death, has given away all his home possessions and has started living out of his truck parked on the beach. Kosmo, Leary and Suki investigate a robbery/homicide - in an attempted robbery, a man assaults and rapes the elderly homeowner, and entering the basement suite with a grow-op, the man gets electrocuted in what looks like a booby-trapped operation. The authorities follow his known associates for more information. Da Vinci investigates the latest in a long string of suspicious deaths among the elderly shut-in population, who all attended the same church. Their collective deaths cannot be just coincidence. Elsewhere, Darcy Charles is working at the needle exchange. The police raid the exchange and in the process, Charles is assaulted, her glasses broken. Da Vinci not only counsels Charles on what she should do, but he also takes the matter up with the Mayor. A few days later, Charles dies, Da Vinci speculating from injuries suffered at the raid. Meanwhile, Curtis continues his blackmail of Pierce. Sunny will soon be taking a sabbatical from the Coroner's Office. And the Mayor makes a suggestion to Da Vinci, which Da Vinci seriously considers despite the outward impossibility: a run at the Chief of Police job.

There's a power struggle in Chinatown and they get involved in it.
- The actual cooking may not be the most difficult aspect of Anna and Kristina's latest cooking challenge, but understanding what all the unfamiliar ingredients are. They are tackling six recipes from "Chinese Kitchen", a cookbook that strives to provide its users with knowledge to cook authentic Chinese cuisine, and not the Chinese fast food that so many North Americans know as Chinese food. They admit that the actual cooking will also be a challenge, as food is more than just sustenance within the Chinese culture and as such it will be difficult to impress their guest chef taster, television chef Martin Yan. In the five hours of cooking, they are preparing basic cooked rice, hot & sour soup, sweet & sour pork, shrimp marinated in green tea leaves, beggar's chicken, and glutinous rice cake. They are most concerned with the chicken dish - the most difficult in their estimation - and the rice dessert, as Chinese cuisine is not known for its sweets. For the shrimp recipe, they taste test green teas to see if there is a difference between tea made with loose leaves and tea made with tea bags, which is generally made with what is considered inferior tea. And they test which material makes the easiest to handle chopsticks.
- One team member has to complete two laps of short track speed skating in under 90 seconds to receive their next clue from champion speed skater Michelle Pepin.
- The killer: social worker Charlie Monahan. The victim: Ken Leung, the deputy leader of the ruthless Golden Tiger Triad, the largest criminal organization in the city. The triad makes money in part through their illegal mah jong gambling den. Leung's bullet ridden dead body is discovered in his home, the murder weapon on the scene. His is only one of three concurrent homicides, Angie, Oscar and Brian each taking the lead on one of the three. The other two are Dr. Ronald Hanlon DDS, whose wife was away in Seattle receiving fertility treatments at the time of his death, and Andrew Gorman, a former juvenile delinquent who, according to his mother, was turning his life around. In the Leung murder, the detectives interview among others: Ken's brother, George Leung, the head of the triad who isn't speaking but who they know did not commit the murder; Teri Leung, Ken's estranged ex-wife who blames Ken for orchestrating their daughter being sent into foster care, the rationale being that if Ken could not have custody, neither would Teri; and Jessie Simon, one of the mah jong regulars who is in the hospital beaten up by Ken and his men for debts unpaid. Eventually, Betty is able to tie all three homicides together forensically, Angie further piecing together the probable rationale for Hanlon and Gorman's murders. That common bond and information from Jessie about "the tourist" at one of the mah jong games lead the detectives to Charlie. Although Charlie does explain his motive for killing Ken, he does not divulge the full extent of his plan. Meanwhile, Angie has so far not talked to threat assessment, despite Mark setting up the appointment for her. Her complacency in the matter may be short-lived.

That meeting in Hong Kong is something that Wolfgang has vehemently denied up to this point, that denial which may be increasingly difficult to maintain as a story. Wolfgang provides Eva with greater direction on her surveillance at the church, that direction which may be increasingly more dangerous, especially if Eva's assertion that the "organ lady" being suspicious is indeed fact. In the process, Eva and Miguel to begin to form a bond. Conversely, Wolfgang comes down on Rufus for not providing enough information. Something that Rufus has not divulged to Wolfgang is the dead body, which is more difficult to dispose of than he would like. On this file, Dee steps up her actions in ensuring that she takes over the business, while General Wu sets up a meeting between Wing Lei and Vince in that transfer of power. Through these goings-on, Wolfgang and Lily become closer.
