North of North : Episode 8

Feeling stuck in her life in her tiny Arctic community, Siaja decides it's time to shake things up during the annual Spring Festival, but her plans are derailed by personal upheavals.

Siaja struggles to pick up the pieces and prove herself capable of handling more than just her messy personal life.

Siaja’s first day of work goes awry when she accidentally starts a fire at the dump and Alistair and Kuuk visit the community center to discuss Ice Cove's candidacy to host a polar research station.

With Kuuk’s help, Siaja forms a plan to shake up Elder’s night by coaxing children to attend, hoping to raise the Elders’ spirits. Meanwhile, Neevee seems to run into Alistair everywhere she goes.

Ice Cove is shortlisted for the polar research station, so Siaja proposes they host a baseball fundraiser to afford upgrades to the community centre to better their chances. Helen is coerced into a winner-takes-all bet by the rival town’s leader.

Love is not in the air in Ice Cove as Siaja re-enters the dating world in epic style, Neevee and Alistair reach a turning point, and Kuuk has a surprise visitor.

The community comes together for an exhausting multi-day search for Ting. Siaja entrusts Alistair to babysit Bun during the search.
