Joe and his crew are in the final stretch of their gold mining season in the Yukon. With only a few weeks left to meet their goals, tensions are high as they face one obstacle after another. In this episode, titled "Home Stretch," the team races against time and Mother Nature to extract as much gold as possible before winter sets in.
Joe's first priority is to move his dredge to a new location that he hopes will be more bountiful. But with the river already starting to freeze over, he must act fast before he loses the chance to move his valuable equipment. With the help of his experienced crew, Joe manages to safely transport the dredge to its new location, where they waste no time getting to work.
Meanwhile, Ken and his team run into trouble when their water supply freezes up. Without water, they can't run their wash plant, and their gold mining season is in jeopardy. Ken takes matters into his own hands and tries to thaw out the water lines himself, but he quickly realizes that this is a job for a professional. Frustrated and running out of time, Ken turns to his son's plumbing expertise for a solution.
Over at Karl's operation, the crew faces their own set of challenges. They've hit a patch of gravel that's full of clay, making it difficult to extract any gold. Karl must come up with a creative solution to sift through the clay and find the precious metal that lies within. His plan involves using a special kind of carpet that can trap gold particles, but he must first convince his crew that this unconventional method will work.
As the days tick by and winter draws closer, Joe, Ken, and Karl must all work tirelessly to meet their goals. They battle the freezing weather, equipment failures, and their own personal demons as they try to strike it rich in the harsh terrain of the Yukon. As they approach the end of their season, it becomes clear that this will be a make-or-break moment for each of them.
