Corner Gas season 2 episode 4, titled Whataphobia, follows the quirky residents of the small town of Dog River as they navigate their daily lives and unique challenges.
When a new health food store opens up in town, Karen becomes convinced that she is suffering from a rare disease known as "Whataphobia," which causes her to fear anything that is not organic or natural. Despite her family and friends' assurances that she is healthy, Karen becomes increasingly obsessed with the idea that she is sick and starts to take extreme measures to avoid exposure to anything that she perceives as unnatural.
Meanwhile, Brent and Hank are tasked with fixing the town's broken water tower, which proves to be a more challenging task than they had anticipated. As they struggle to repair the tower, they must contend with uncooperative equipment, inclement weather, and a group of overeager townspeople who are eager to lend their unhelpful assistance.
Things come to a head when Karen's paranoia reaches a boiling point and she begins to sabotage the health food store. As tensions rise and emotions escalate, the town is left to wonder if this latest crisis will be the one that finally tears them apart.
Through it all, the residents of Dog River prove that they are a tight-knit and resilient community that can overcome even the biggest of challenges. With its mix of heartfelt moments and wry humor, "Whataphobia" is a must-see episode that showcases why Corner Gas is one of the most beloved Canadian television shows of all time.
