Summary

Danny is busy getting to grips with Spearfish Lake Appliance and being a brakeman with Chris or Dave. He helped Josh & Phil take the dogs to the airport, having helped pack food and equipment that had been sent on to Shelly in Alaska. Danny and Tiffany help Candice run the UP-200 where she takes Rookie of the year with another top 10 finish. John arrives to pick them up from Tiffany & Josh's, and jokes about Candice doing the Iditarod. Candice replies next, and tell John that she's going up to stay with Shelly and provide support at Nome. John doesn't yet know of the plan for Candice to race the Iditarod. Bud and Jane arrive back and lend the motor home to Gil & Carrie. Before they set off, Jennifer & Blake have the family over for a meal. After everyone has cooed over Jeremy, eaten well, joked about Brandy's cooking, and discussed what Gil & Carrie would do whilst away, Jennifer & Blake announce that there would be a newspaper story naming him as gay. They explain the background so that the family know how they intend to deal with it. Tara also decides to be more open about her being lesbian. (compare Blue Beauty Chapter 16). After Gil & Carrie leave, Danny gets a little lonely, although Jennifer & Blake try to help, Danny is aware of how much family life he's missed out on. He supports Brandy and the Basketball team, but as they don't finish well enough, Brandy takes off to meet Phil at Nome. Phil finishes 8th, and Blake calls Danny for a finish party.
