It's beautiful dredging weather, but things are getting ugly. The Pomrenkes unpin their barge and swallow their pride and ask megadredger Hank for equipment help. Scott again demonstrates his vanishing act. Hank sweats the small details of cleanup. Zeke's recent incarceration leaves him in financial draught and he demands Emily pay up or give up her dredge. The Minnow's crew questions their location rights in the "public mining area". They fight off claim jumpers but a compressor design flaw impedes diver safety. Steve R. and Glen LeBaron search for a dragon. Vernon does not appear in the episode.
