Episode 36
First into the barn is Jessie, accompanied by grandparents Diana and Percy. They've brought an item that's entertained four generations of their musically talented family. Jessie's great-grandfather played in a band in the 1920s and strummed the little ukulele in a rowing boat around a lake to impress Jessie's future great-grandmother when they were courting. Now Jessie is keen for king of strings, luthier Julyan Wallis, to bring the ukulele back to life so that she can continue its legacy. The fix is like a surgical procedure for Jules, who needs to bolster a crack from the inside of the instrument as well as fix its ornate central rose.
Next, it's a soft toy SOS for Amanda Tatchell and Julie Middleditch, courtesy of Nicola from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. Parsley was a present from Nicola's dad when she was just five years old. As a child, she wasn't given many presents, so Parsley, who sits astride a metal bike and pedals when pushed, has remained very dear to her. By her own admission, Nicola ruined Parsley when she painted his face with lipstick, something she instantly regretted. Since her father passed away in 2020, Parsley has taken on even greater significance for Nicola. Now the toy needs a massive makeover to get him back to his former glory, but as usual the Bear Ladies relish the challenge.
The final visitors to the barn are father and daughter Carlo and Alessia, with a little reminder of family life back in their ancestral homeland of Italy. It's a 1960s split-flap clock made in Carlo's mother's hometown of Udine that horologist Steve Fletcher needs to get flipping again. Working with plastic and mid-century mechanics means Steve is well out of his comfort zone reviving this retro but much-loved timepiece back to its sparkling best.

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
