Key West S1:E5

Pilot

Lottery winner Seamus O'Neil (Fisher Stevens) quits a dull factory job to become a newspaper writer, a la Hemmingway, in Key West. His first story: a heated mayoral campaign.

The Second Day in Heaven

The good news: Seamus's million-dollar lottery check arrives. The bad news: it's only $32.59 after deductions.

The Great Unknown

Flu-stricken and short-staffed, Seams vows to the paper out if it kills him—and it might; a mysterious, filry stranger captivates Jody; Gumbo faces up to the 10th anniversary of his beloved wife's death.

Less Moonlight

Laurel, the passion of Seamus's life, intends to reclaim him; JoJo wins a "slave" for a day: Chaucy; and Rikki peddles exotic marital aids to island housewives.

The Greening

Two ne'er-do-well friends for Seamus's youth want to take him to Africa; a gentlemanly navel officer take Savannah by storm; Chaucy's drinking problem resurfaces.

Act of God

As Hurricane Andrew bears down of the Keys, tourists and townsfolk prepare to evacuate—except for a few loco locals who get ready to party.

Gimme Shelter

Seams, JoJo and Rikki scrounge for shelter while their digs are being fumigated; and Savannah is visited by a stern nun form her school days, who's come to ask a favor.

Crossroads

No write-up available at this time.

We the People

Everyone suffers when the Government blockades tie island to find illegal immigrants, but most of all JoJo, whose visa has expired.

Compadres

Seamus assumes the duties of fatherhood when an illegal immigrant abandons her newborn; Gumbo's pink-ribbonrd gator takes a pouder; the death of a libidinous admiral compromises Chaucy.

The System

Seamus's slice-of-life article about Gumbo's bar enables Chaucy to shut it down; Hector's dream of producing quality cigars goes up in smoke.

Heavy Metal, Heavy Hearts

A "moonstruck" dolphin follows Savannah and Seams home from lobster fishing; JoJo and Hunter strike gold in an underwater treasure hunt; Hector pressures Chaucy to issue a dredging permit.
