Ep 13. I Love Lacey

In the thirteenth episode of Corner Gas season 1, titled "I Love Lacey," the focus shifts to Lacey Burrows, the owner of the new coffee shop in town. With Brent LeRoy being a regular visitor to her shop, it's no secret that he has feelings for her, but Lacey seems oblivious to this fact.

Brent's desperation leads him to recruit Karen Pelly to help him win Lacey's heart. Karen agrees to act as a go-between for the two, but things don't quite go as planned. Meanwhile, Emma struggles to give up her old gardening habits, even when Hank tries to get her to switch to more modern techniques. And Oscar causes some chaos when he attempts to do some DIY repairs around the house.

As the episode progresses, we see Brent continue to struggle with his feelings for Lacey, and his attempts to win her over. He tries to impress her by helping out at the coffee shop, but his efforts are largely unsuccessful. Meanwhile, Lacey remains oblivious to his advances, and Brent's frustration only continues to grow.

Karen's attempts to help Brent only seem to complicate things further, rather than improve his chances with Lacey. And when she tries to intervene again, it leads to a massive misunderstanding between all parties involved.

As all these storylines unfold, the characters of Corner Gas continue to shine with their distinctive personalities and quirks. From Oscar's stubbornness to Hank's obliviousness, each character adds to the show's humor and charm.
