- When Arnie refuses to cut Mr. Smith in on the sale of his now valuable land as previously agreed, Mr. Smith vows to bring Arnie more water than he could ever imagine - and soon after, the rain begins.
- Simon tactlessly offers Brendan a loan so he and Molly to come on holiday to Italy. When Arnie refuses to cut Mr. Smith in on the sale of his now valuable land as previously agreed (offering him a mere $21 for the time he spend locating water), Mr. Smith vows to bring Arnie more water than he could ever imagine - and soon after, the rain begins. Before long the drought-weary valley is flooded and the rising waters are threatening to overwhelm the town. Upset by the disaster he believes he's brought on, Mr. Smith tries to conjure up an end to the rain. Molly, who has refused to abandon the farm, goes out into the storm to search for him. The rain soon ends but Mr. Smith is not seen again. Arnie's land meanwhile has turned into a worthless swamp after being flooded out by the underground stream Mr. Smith located. Brendan and Simon's strained friendship is mended in the process of rescuing Ted Marshall from a dam, and afterwards Brendan has a good laugh at a muddy Simon wearing his $100 "Gucci gumboots." Simon announces he and Vicky will be vacationing is Tasmania, and Maggie tells a surprised Brendan that he's also made a sizable contribution to the flood fund.
- While sitting down for a drink with Bob at the pub, Father McBride scolds him for being a lapsed catholic. With him and Molly just struggling to pay the bills, Brendan doesn't appreciate hearing Simon talk about his plans for a grandiose six week European vacation - or his suggestion that he and Molly come along. Ted Marshall, a man known to have a drink or two, blames his driving his car off the road on a nonexistent flash-flood. He later sees the event as a vision of a coming apocalypse and warns that the end of the world is nigh. Mr. Smith, a tinker and a hawker, arrives in town armed with a cart full of trinkets and a lifetime's worth of stories from his world travels. When he uses his goanna oil to "heal" Esme of a torn ligament and Bob of his bad back, Cookie sees a business opportunity. Bob gets them the goanna, but extracting the oil proves the hard part - and milking doesn't seem to be the answer. Arnie also sees profit in Mr. Smith and asks him to use his divining powers to find water on a parcel of land he wants to sell.
