Season 5

Jamie turns in his wildside to do a turn with the army, but he's not as successful at basic training camp as he thought he would be and is the worst in the unit. Sheri and Rachael are left in a bind since Noella took off with Mick to 'see the world', and are desperate to find a new roommate. Carol is furious when Elliot drops her after telling her she's finished, and refuses to pay her the money he owes her. Tia returns to Vancouver, and accepts Rachael's offer to move in with her and Sheri.

Sheri has been ""discovered"". A chance encounter with a modeling agent could lead her into all kinds of well-paying work, and out of the creeping boredom she has been fighting.

Jamie's squad hits day forty of basic training - and are free for a night of blowing off steam.

Sheri's new agent Roxanne is determined to get her client work, and an expensive new wardrobe is part of the plan.

Jamie hasn't just survived the Army's basic training; he's starting to thrive. Things are growing increasingly tense in the barracks though, and it's entirely his fault. Sheri is starting to enjoy a real burst of success with her career, and takes Kevin out for the weekend to celebrate. Rachael pushes Neill for a raise after he gives Tia one. (1997)

Tia is organising a Christian rock concert (Godapalooza) and wants everyone to be part of it. Carol initially refuses, as she is caught up in her recent problems with Nick, but when one of the acts cancels, she agrees to perform. Rachael wants nothing to do with the concert, but Neill heads there to unwind after a blow-out with her. Sheri shares with Kevin her feelings that Neill isn't sincere in his feelings for Rachael. (1997)

Kevin is a little out of his league when Richard Long asks him to hunt down Albert Cheung, an associate who owes him some serious money. Things get hairy when Long's daughter Allysia, who makes no attempt to hide her crush on Kevin, tags along. After Carol accidentally hits Nick with her guitar, he turns around and belts her, then tells her a story about a six-year-old boy he had to comfort today after his mother died. Jamie begins to realise that his father is a different man in the office.

Sheri gets a modeling assignment that just happens to be in the deep woods. While the other crew members watch reruns of Melrose Place, Sheri finds herself attracted to their guide, Rick. Kevin is in charge of 'babysitting' Richard Long's daughter Allysia for the day.

Jamie and his father go out for a night on the town, and each get tattooes on their butts. Sheri feels guilty about sleeping with Erik, which strains her relationship with Kevin. Tia starts to realise there's something wrong with Nick and Carol's relationship. Derek gets the job offer of a lifetime, but it's in Chicago.

Tia takes Carol out for the night to cheer her up while Nick is gone on a fishing trip, and when Carol runs into Angus from Godapalooza (Is Jesus in the House?), she agrees to a quick roadtrip to Salmon Arm. Rachael finds Sheri's picture of Erik, and Sheri admits to having slept with Erik, but says she doesn't feel guilty. Jamie's dad puts him in charge of the firm's daycare, which Jamie soon has running like a well-oiled machine.

Rachael is upset that Neill is more interested in trivia games than their wedding. Sheri and Tia more or less accidentally commit themselves to throwing her a bridal shower when Rachael accuses them of not caring about her. Kevin turns down the opportunity to spend the weekend with Allysia, but reconsiders when he learns Sheri slept with Erik a few weeks ago. Despite her Christian beliefs, Tia can't forget about Jamie, the only guy she ever really loved.

Kevin is still trying to recover from the knowledge that he and Sheri are finished with when he learns that Albert Leong, the man Richard Long had him locate, has been murdered. Carol leaves Nick when he beats her up, and moves in with Tia, Rachael, and Sheri. Rachael and Neill are failures in marital counseling. Tia and Jamie are finally back together. (1997)

Kevin is sweating it out at the police station. The cops want him to get damning information against Richard Long, by wearing a wiretap.
