Ep 3. Dog River Vice

Dog River Vice is an episode from the third season of the comedy series Corner Gas. The episode centers on the residents of the small town of Dog River who find themselves caught in the world of illegal gambling.

The episode starts with Brent, the owner of the gas station, serving a group of gamblers who come to town for a high-stakes poker game. Brent is initially hesitant to get involved in the game, but he is quickly tempted by the promise of easy money.

Meanwhile, Lacey, the owner of the local café, is worried about the impact of the gambling on the community. She is particularly concerned about the potential for someone to become addicted to gambling and lose everything.

As the night goes on, both Brent and Lacey become more involved in the game. Brent starts to win big, but he quickly becomes overconfident and begins to make reckless bets. Lacey, on the other hand, tries to take matters into her own hands by reporting the illegal gambling to the police.

The situation quickly spirals out of control when one of the gamblers accuses Brent of cheating. This leads to a showdown between Brent and the other players, with Lacey caught in the middle.

The episode is full of the classic humor and wit that fans of the show have come to love. From Brent's over-the-top bravado to Lacey's sneaky attempts to shut down the poker game, there are plenty of laughs to be had.

However, the episode also touches on some more serious themes. The dangers of addiction are a recurring theme throughout the episode, as Lacey worries about the impact of gambling on her community. Additionally, the tense showdown at the end of the episode highlights the potential consequences of getting too caught up in the pursuit of money and power.

Overall, Dog River Vice is a standout episode in the Corner Gas series. With its mix of humor and heart, it perfectly showcases the appeal of this charming small-town comedy.
