Corner Gas is a sitcom that premiered on CTV in Canada on January 22, 2004. The show is set in the fictional town of Dog River, Saskatchewan, and follows the lives of the town's residents, including gas station attendant Brent Leroy and his friends and family. Each episode typically revolves around a simple, relatable premise, such as a misunderstanding or miscommunication, and ends with a humorous and often heartwarming resolution.

The first episode of Corner Gas season one is titled Ruby Reborn. The episode begins with Brent in the gas station, trying to fix a broken toaster. He is interrupted by his friend and employee, Wanda, who is excitedly talking about renovations being made to the Ruby Cafe. Brent is uninterested, but Wanda explains that the new owner is a young woman named Lacey Burrows who has apparently inherited the cafe from her aunt. Brent, intrigued, decides to pay a visit to the cafe.

Upon arriving, Brent meets Lacey for the first time and is instantly smitten. He tries to impress her by buying a large coffee and insisting that she take his money despite her protests. Lacey, unimpressed, reminds him that she owns the cafe and therefore cannot accept payment for her own coffee. Brent, flustered, leaves the cafe and returns to the gas station.

Later that day, Brent and his friend Hank are at the dog park with their respective dogs. Hank suggests that they go to the Ruby Cafe to check out the new owner, and Brent reluctantly agrees. They enter the cafe and are greeted by a disheveled Lacey, who is trying to fix a leak in the ceiling. Hank immediately begins flirting with her, but she is focused on the leak and tells them to leave.

Brent returns to the cafe later that day with a bucket of tools and offers to help Lacey fix the leak. She reluctantly accepts, and the two begin to bond over their shared love of fixing things. As they work, Lacey admits that she is overwhelmed by the responsibility of running the cafe. Brent offers to help her out by promoting the Ruby Cafe at the gas station, and Lacey agrees.

The next day, Brent announces over the gas station intercom that the Ruby Cafe is offering a free donut with every cup of coffee. The promotion is a success, and the cafe is soon busy with customers. However, when Brent returns to the cafe to collect his free donut, Lacey tells him that the promotion was meant to be for locals only and that he will have to pay for the donut. Brent, feeling embarrassed, leaves the cafe.

Later that day, Lacey visits the gas station to apologize to Brent. She admits that she is struggling to establish herself in the town and that she is afraid of failing. Brent reassures her that he will continue to promote the cafe and that he believes in her. The two make amends, and Lacey gives Brent a free cup of coffee and a donut as a thank-you.

The episode ends with Brent and his friends gathering at the Ruby Cafe to celebrate Lacey's successful promotion. They offer their support and encouragement, and Lacey feels more confident in her new role as cafe owner.

Overall, Ruby Reborn is a charming and entertaining introduction to the world of Corner Gas. The episode's simple premise and relatable characters make it an easy and enjoyable watch. Viewers are sure to be drawn in by the quirky town of Dog River and its endearing residents, and will likely find themselves eagerly anticipating the next episode.
