Ep 1. Rise 'n Shine!

In Moonshiners Season 2 Episode 1, "Rise 'n Shine!", the audience is introduced to the same cast of characters from the last season of the show. Tim Smith, Tickle, and Jim Tom are amongst the group of moonshiners that plan to make the most of their stills despite a recent increase in moonshine raids by the police.

The episode begins with Tim and Tickle receiving word that the police are on the move. Afraid of getting caught, they make the decision to move their stills to a new location deeper in the woods. While driving to the new location, they run into a police roadblock, causing them to make a quick escape on foot with their stills in tow.

Jim Tom, on the other hand, is making his moonshine like usual, but has decided to try out a new recipe for a higher quality product. He explains that this new recipe might be harder to make but will be worth it in the end.

Meanwhile, Jeff and Mark have teamed up for a new business venture. They plan to transport their moonshine across state lines to sell it at a higher price, but are met with challenges of crossing the border undetected.

As the episode continues, the moonshiners are faced with a series of setbacks and close calls with the law. Despite these obstacles, they are determined to continue making their moonshine and supplying their customers.

One of the highlights of the episode is Tim's run-in with the police, where he outwits them and manages to bring his still safely to its new location. Another interesting part of the episode is the trial and error of Jim Tom's new recipe, which ultimately earns him praise for the quality of his product.

Overall, "Rise 'n Shine!" sets the tone for an exciting season ahead, with the moonshiners facing new challenges while also perfecting their craft. The audience is left wondering what other obstacles the moonshiners will have to overcome and what new developments will arise in their ongoing battle with the law.
