Finally, on their first date at a romantic supper club, Shane begins wondering if it's a date or not, as she sees the contrast of their relationship next to the extraordinary dance performances of a couple who express the longing of her heart. As Norman Gustafson) and Rita (Lowe) work alongside each other, their personal relationship hits a bump in the road. Together the POstables are asked to find a letter with a one-in-a-million lottery ticket inside. Oliver's father Joe (Harrison) and beautiful police officer friend Dale assist the investigation, which ultimately changes one couple's lives forever.
