- Marilyn's family (Whirlwind) totem is unveiled and causes a feud. Shelley has hallucinations of dancers. Joel grows jealous over Mike and Maggie.
- Shelly is suddenly having hallucinations about dancers. First a troupe of seven ballerinas toe-dance down main street without Floyd seeing them. When she goes to see Joel about her problem, she sees him doing a tap dance in a tux and top hat. Back at The Brick, there is a flamenco dancer and guitarist. Having only gotten a suggestion from Joel that maybe she should see a psychiatrist and a declaration that she might have residuals from some bad acid, she learns from Leonard that she needs to get married to stop the dancers. "Life is a dance and you need a partner. She rushes to Holling and insists they must get married tomorrow. Leonard is also responsible for triggering a feud between the Bear and the Raven clans in Cicely when he unveils a new Whirlwind totem pole. The Bear clan take offense at a fish symbol on the fourth tier. There is disagreement between the two clans over this portrayal of Harold Whirlwind. In 1934 he started a salmon cannery using money he claimed to have found in a jar. The Bear clan contend that he embezzled the money from Roland Killdeer's auto repair shop. Leonard eventually comes up with a compromise solution in the form of a nearly identical companion pole that does not contain the fish symbol for Harold's tier. As all this is transpiring, Joel is still troubled by the meaning of his relationship with Maggie and their little horizontal tango episode. He sees her being publicly demonstrative with Mike, yet he knows there remains so animal attraction between the two of them. They talk it over and decide to express the two of them as "mutually desirous incompatibles".—Garon Smith
- Shelly is visited by dancers - ballerinas in the main street, a tap dancer in Joel's office and a flamenco dancer in the Brick but the solution comes as a surprise to her and Holling. Elsewhere, rivalries flare up between the Bear and the Raven clans after the unveiling of a new totem. Turns out that Bear clan have taken offence at a couple of fish on the totem, which have something to do with the finding of a coffee jar full of money. Or it may have been embezzlement, depending on who you believe.
