- Cicely has a blood drive which Maurice turns into a competition and a running bet. Maggie's old beau Jed comes for a visit. Ed hires a P.I. to help find out if a woman in town is his birth mother.
- Each year there is a blood drive competition between Maurice and his neighboring district business rival Llyod Hilligas. There is a $1000 bet riding on the outcome, so Maurice does not intend to lose again. He insists that everyone take part, even Chris who has a thing against needles. Things are going great until Joel suddenly starts losing potential donors because he cannot seem to get the needle inserted in their veins properly. He's lost his touch. During the drive, Marilyn reveals to Ed that he has a very unusual blood type - AB Rh-. There is only one other person currently in Cicely with this AB- blood - Jeannie Hanson. Marilyn says that blood type is an inherited trait which makes Ed jump to the conclusion that Jeannie may be his mother. Her age is about right. He his private investigator Reynaldo Pinetree to check this possibility out. Reynaldo invites Ed to join him for a stake-out on the Hanson home. They fall asleep in the car. Jeannie wakes them up and tells them to stop spying her. She insists there is no way that she is Ed's mother. During the drive, Maggie's hometown friend Jed Fleming arrives in town with his hunting falcon named Taylor. He makes some very direct statements to Maggie about moving to Cicely and buying some land where they can live after their marriage. Maggie is taken by surprise and asks for some time to reconsider. She eventually decides that she is more interested in Joel than Jed. One Cicely resident is upset at Jed anyway after his falcon takes out her small dog Chi Chi. He leaves. Chris has been promoting the blood drive on KBHR but not donated himself. Maurice forces him to go. Chris bravely sits down in the donation chair and Joel inserts the needle. He's fine until he sees the blood start filling the bag. He promptly faints at the sight. In the end, Maurice wins his bet. Hilligas throws the winner's plaque at his feet, muttering that he cheated by bringing in a cruise ship to help him. Ed and Reynaldo go fishing together.—Garon Smith
