Episode 1
Finding David
Wed, Mar 16, 201622 mins
With David's proposition to Stevie on the belief that the Roses will finally be leaving Schitt's Creek for good then finding out that the sale of the town doesn't go through, David, in emotional turmoil, steals Roland's truck and goes missing, now for three days. While there are some people, seemingly including Stevie, who are truly concerned for David and making sure that he is all right, some people have other things on their mind. Roland is more concerned about the state of his truck. Moira is concerned about how she believes David is supporting himself at her expense. And Alexis is focused on making her and David's twin beds into one king sized bed for herself, while being in a moral conundrum of having had sex with Mutt, with who she wants to do it with again, but technically being engaged to Ted. On the other end, if David is alive, he will be exerting his "Davidness" on any poor sole who may have tried to help him.
Episode 2
Family Dinner
Wed, Mar 16, 201622 mins
Johnny, David and Alexis realize that no one in their family knows how to cook, while Moira tries to convince her family that she does and that their former cook's enchilada recipe was her own family recipe. Moira is determined not only to pass down life skills specifically to David, but show him and the rest of the family that she really can cook. But first, she has to convince a less than enthusiastic Jocelyn to borrow her kitchen to prepare the meal. Meanwhile, Johnny is looking for somewhere quiet away from the motel as an office. Bob thinks he has the perfect space for him, that space which may require some negotiation between the two on some other matters. David and Stevie have a disagreement about "how over" she is about their situation. And Alexis' difficulty in telling Ted that she wants to break their engagement may be more difficult if she knows something that Ted has done.
Episode 3
Jazzagals
22 mins
Moira learns that Jocelyn leads a women's a cappella singing group called the Jazzagals. As a professional performer, Moira is somewhat offended that she has not been asked to join. Once Moira does make her want to be asked known to Jocelyn, they may come to an impasse in the group's audition policy versus Moira's "offer only" policy. Johnny, who has made arrangements with Bob to use his garage business as an office space, may find that Bob's long absences, while providing Johnny with some solitude to do work, offers its own challenges. David is dismayed to find that his cashmere sweaters are being moth eaten. As such, he, without the necessary skills, decides to build a cedar chest to house his beloved sweaters. And Alexis has been absent now for ten days, she now staying with Mutt. Mutt has his own feelings about his and Alexis' unofficial cohabitation.
Episode 4
Estate Sale
22 mins
Johnny and Moira go to a local estate sale auction, where they wonder what ever happened to their old possessions. Jocelyn spots what looks like a new mattress at the sale and wants to buy it at the auction, but Moira will do anything to get the mattress to replace the broken springed one they are currently sleeping on at the motel, despite she and Johnny not having the money to buy it no matter how much it will cost. Where the mattress ends up may be a bigger issue for Moira than what happens at the auction of the item. Meanwhile, Roland asks David for a favor: to go shopping with him to pick out a blouse as a surprise gift for Jocelyn. Despite enjoying shopping, David is already reluctant to do this favor, but it takes on a new distaste when David learns why Roland is getting Jocelyn this specific gift. David may regret doing this favor even more when it seems that Roland doesn't actually appreciate his taste in the matter. And Mutt gets Alexis a surprise gift: a bicycle, to do double duty as transportation and exercise since she no longer has access to a spin class. Beyond the aspect of the bike not being a car, Alexis has another secret reason for not wanting the gift.
Episode 5
Bob's Bagels
22 mins
As Johnny, Bob and Roland are at the garage cum Johnny's office, Roland asks Johnny why he needs an office, namely what business is he thinking about starting. As he has no concrete business in mind, Johnny, purely as an example, mentions that he sometimes craves a good bagel but that there is no bagel shop in town. Later, Johnny is surprised that Bob is running with the idea of opening a bagel shop with no true business plan in place, basically running by the seat of his pants while continually asking Johnny what needs to be done to realize the "plan". While Johnny tries to convince Bob that there is no "plan" and only a scant outline of an "example", Roland has his own ideas as a wannabe not so silent non-investing partner. David has decided to apply for his first ever job, working at an upscale high end boutique in Elmdale, the interview to which he requires Stevie to drive him. David is horrified to learn upon his arrival that the upscale boutique is the Blouse Barn, Wendy the owner who he insulted the one and only time he was in the store. David is even somewhat more horrified when his interview is extended beyond what he thought would be a quick boot out by Wendy. This extension requires some outside assistance for David to succeed. And Alexis is in bed with a cold. Without money, Moira mourns the fact that they can no longer foist their medical problems on professionals, and as such Moira may actually have to, gasp, touch a sick Alexis.

David has started his job at the Blouse Barn. A comment that Wendy makes about David using the company credit card for improving the store takes a change in meaning in David's mind leading to he trying to improve the state of his own life.

With news of what was Moira's triumphant appearance in front of town council, localized rumors abound that she is running for the council seat made vacant by Ray's resignation, which she has no intention to do, especially in a backwater town like Schitt's Creek. Those rumors make Johnny think of running instead, he who has campaign war room experience. Moira learning of someone else who is running changes the complexion of the ballot. Now that Alexis and Mutt have broken up and Alexis has moved back to the motel, Alexis wants to hang with anyone - primarily who most closely resembles her peers in town, such as Twyla and Stevie - just because she doesn't know how to be by herself. Alexis decides to see if she can really enjoy her own company and not go nuts. And David learns that Stevie is going to a bar to cruise in order to get laid. Much to Stevie's chagrin, David invites himself along so that they can be each other's wing person.

Differences that she notices in him in combination with she no longer being with Mutt make her quietly reconsider her decision about Ted. And Johnny has to reimburse Bob for what he learns was the expensive raw milk he took in the garage refrigerator, believing at the time it was regular commercially available pasteurized milk from any store.

Alexis doing her father this favor, which eventually involves Roland, doesn't turn out quite the way Alexis and Johnny envision.
Episode 9
Moira's Nudes
22 mins
In the heated election campaign, Moira learns from her opponent Jocelyn of some nude photographs of her on the Internet. Admitting the existence of such photos to her family, technologically challenged Moira has to get those around her who she trusts to help her find those photographs and remove them from cyberspace. This task ends up being more challenging than Moira hopes, but in the process she begins to have bittersweet thoughts about the existence of the photos themselves. Meanwhile, Twyla cannot extend credit to the Roses for their meals at the diner anymore, this news which she passes along specifically to Johnny and Alexis while they are eating breakfast together there. Johnny, admitting that he has overextended himself this month, turns to the one person in the family who is actually working, namely David, who should be flush with cash, especially as he has no commuting costs since he has been given a work vehicle for the commute between Schitt's Creek and Elmdale, news which both Johnny and Alexis would like to exploit for themselves. David actually accessing any of that cash is another matter. Their cash situation also makes Alexis contemplate a job offer, it which would be her first job ever, from a source that could make the employee/employer relationship uncomfortable: ex-fiancé Ted.
Episode 10
Ronnie's Party
22 mins
After learning that Jocelyn held a campaign party to woo prospective key voting groups, Moira feels she has to do the same. She starts working for Ronnie's endorsement, Ronnie who implies that she and a group of women are open to lending their support to whichever candidate is willing to work toward the wants of their key demographic, a party for who Ronnie will hold at which Moira can speak. Moira makes some assumptions as to what that key demographic is, which may make an ass out of her if her assumption is wrong. Meanwhile, Wendy, David's boss, is having problems in her personal life. Despite not liking kids, David feels he has no choice but to agree to Wendy's request to act as a sitter for her teenaged stepdaughter, Mandy. David may find that he has more to overcome in connecting with Mandy than just the differences in their ages. And Alexis, who wants to be treated like a professional, learns that there is more to being Ted's medical receptionist than just socializing with Doris, Ted's chronic hypochondriac client, who is in the clinic every week with issues around her relatively healthy cat, Mittens. An issue concerning Doris may dictate whether Alexis makes it past her first few days in the job.
Episode 11
The Motel Guest
22 mins
The Roses' peace and quiet at the motel is interrupted in the middle of the night by a new guest who has moved in next door. They will learn that that guest is Roland, who is trying to hide the fact that he and Jocelyn have had a major fight, he lamenting in a loud and specific way of his grief. Roland and Jocelyn's problems lead directly and indirectly to Johnny and Moira facing the state of their own marriage, as they deal individually with Roland and Jocelyn. This situation makes Alexis think about moving out on her own, which she believes she now can do since she is earning an income. She has found in the classifieds what she believes is a potential apartment in Schitt's Creek. That apartment could end up being another point of contention between the siblings.
Episode 12
Lawn Signs
22 mins
What few campaign lawn signs Moira had have all gone missing. While she is uncertain what happened to them in her tizzy, Johnny is certain it was the opposing camp of the Schitts that had something to do with it. In speaking to Stevie, Johnny gets a clearer picture of what happened. Through it all, Jocelyn and Moira come to some conclusions about the election and what the results mean. Meanwhile, Wendy has overextended herself in all the changes David has made at the store, and as such she has to fire him solely because she can no longer afford to pay him. But when he learns that an Australian company also named the Blouse Barn will be paying Wendy $10,000 for use of the name in North America, David smells a rat in that the Australian Blouse Barn probably stole the name from Wendy. When Johnny offers what David considers no useful advice on the matter, David, to save his job, turns to the one person who has probably dealt with the law more than anyone else he knows: Alexis.
Episode 13
Happy Anniversary
22 mins
It's Johnny and Moira's anniversary. Because Moira makes it obvious to Johnny that she expects something special to happen to mark the occasion, Johnny decides at the last minute to have a special dinner for two at a restaurant in Elmdale that Roland and Jocelyn had mentioned to them as the most exclusive in the area, and to which Roland and Jocelyn were going to take them to as part of Moira's "welcome to town council" package. That dinner for two becomes a bit awkward when part of their current lives and part of their past lives converge unexpectedly at the restaurant that evening. Meanwhile, Alexis learns second hand from Ted that Mutt is having a party at the barn, to which she was not officially invited. Both Ted and Alexis have to decide if they will swallow their pride and attend the party, the latter who does not know of a certain fourth in what was their triangle. At the party, David and Stevie have a pissing match of sorts in picking up "Jake", that pissing match based partly on the fact that Stevie was listed in her senior class yearbook as the one most likely to get the guy.
