Outside Marion Caldwell's shop Brauer tells Audrey and Nathan he was clamming last night. Instantly a strange fog enshrouds them and Audrey has to knock Nathan out of the way of an oncoming truck in the fog. Brauer is gone, so they talk to Marion, who is planning on moving to Santa Barbara and buying a shop with Ted Ford. Marion supplies an alibi for Brauer last night. Nathan gets a call to say that the gun traces to Duke Crocker, so they go to his boat. Nathan sees a calender with a corner ripped off, but no Duke. He goes off in search of Duke. Brauer has known Marion since childhood and has always trusted him. She is worried about the Lester business so Brauer tells her to let him handle it. At the dock Audrey was waiting for Duke when a freak hailstorm struck. She runs for shelter and somehow is knocked out, falling into the water. She wakes up undressed in bed on Duke's boat. He'd saved her.
Back at the police station Nathan tells her the paper scrap she'd found comes from the corner of Duke's tide calendar. There's a number on it. Audrey checks the tides and realizes that Brauer's alibi doesn't wash because it was high tide. She finds him with Marion outside the shop and he confesses to killing Lester, claiming it was an accident. She starts to arrest him when a sudden wind blows her against her car. Recovering, she takes Brauer in. Vince and Dave Teagues, the editors of the Haven Herald go to the police station to give Audrey a picture of a woman that Audrey had reminded Dave of. While there she asks them if there had been reports that tied Brauer with freakish weather. Dave doesn't find any, but says there are reports about the Caldwell family. Audrey reconstructs the situation as Brauer protecting Marion and she being on the cliff that night, responsible for the freak wind that sent Lester off the cliff. Audrey connects Lester with Ford and calls Marion to ask if she'd given Ford money. Marion understands that she has been swindled and goes to seek revenge. Clouds, wind and lightning follow her when she confronts Ford, who was just preparing to skip town. Audrey arrives to talk down Marion and Nathan arrests Ford.
Audrey knows that Brauer loves Marion and persuades him to let his guard down and get involved with her in order to help her through her Trouble.
Audrey later calls Howard and asks for some vacation time. Howard is watching her from the distance. He gives her the time off and makes a call to tell someone that Audrey is staying.

Special FBI Agent Howard goes to Audrey Parker's apartment to send her to a town in Maine called Haven and bring back an escapee called Jonas Lester. Later Lester is seen chasing someone through woodlands with a gun. He reaches a cliff and is suddenly propelled into the air away from the cliff and is gone. The silhouette of Conrad Brauer is seen on the cliff. In the morning Audrey is driving into Haven, when an enormous crack opens up across the road. She swerves and finds herself dangling off a cliff. Nathan comes to pull her out and the car drops and crashes below. Audrey gets into Nathan's truck and she slams the door on his fingers, but he feels nothing.
