Beth has done a major remodel of the bail bonds office. However, before the guys can really enjoy the new leather chairs, Dog has them hunt down a bank robber.

Today, Dog gives his best to answer to two very different calls for help. The first is from his son Leland and involves a dangerous criminal and a fearful wife. The second involves a young woman whom he has never met before. This proves to be the greater challenge for Dog as it bring up difficult memories and painful emotions

Today's a double header for Dog. While one case involves trickery both will require compassion. Before Dog begins the hunt, he compares his fugitives to his pet parrot. Although they long to be free, some of them will never be able to handle their freedom.

Dog tracks down a fugitive whose refusal to return to prison was motivated by fear for his girlfriend.

Beth buys Dog a shirt with an embroidered chicken that looks like a dragon, but Dog explains he only wears shirts with pictures of either Jesus or a Harley-Davidson.

Baby Lyssa, who's just turned 18 and is studying to become a bondsman, gets to do some on-the-job training when she helps Dog hunt for Wayne, who's run out on a bond for second-degree assault.

Dog needs to hunt down his former housekeeper, Lisa. Luckily, Beth's nephew Jay is in town and is someone that Lisa won't recognize. Tim anxiously awaits the birth of his new baby.

The day starts with Tim playing with his daughter. However, Tim has a violent fugitive to find and he has no info on the guy. Hopefully the co-signer, Pandora, can help.

It's Christmas day, and Dog sets out to nab Raymond, who robs to support his ice habit, and give him a little Christmas gift - shiny new handcuffs. A passerby in Chinatown tells Dog that Raymond's asleep on a park bench, but when the team sneaks up, they find it's not their man. It's not until the next morning that the case is solved - in a very surprising way.

Dog is looking for Peter, a man with sexual assault charges and no respect for women. The parents and victims try to help, but all plans fall through. Can Dog find him before he leaves the island?

Dog, Beth and the posse are off to the Big Island for their wedding.

Dog's nephew Justin returns to help him capture another fugitive but his return is met with stiff opposition from Leland and Tim who say that the rookie bounty hunter doesn't take his job seriously enough.

Dog and Beth are finally getting married! They've been together for more than ten years but Dog is determined, as he puts it, to "marry his common law wife the Christian way."

When the team hunts for Steven, a fugitive with a history of domestic abuse, they seek help from his girlfriend, who's been a victim of his abuse. Meanwhile, Beth trains for a 5K race to help raise awareness about domestic abuse, but the boys don't think she'll make it across the finish line.

As Dog likes to say, "it's not the years it's the miles," and this goes for both men and machines. Those long hunts and the rides to jail take a toll not only on Dog but also on his vehicles. So he decides it's time to outfit the Da Kine crew with new SUVs. After a quick visit to their local dealership Duane and Beth emerge behind the wheels of two wicked whips, brand new top-of-the line SUVs.

Dog has two fugitives to catch, and he gets help from the unlikeliest sources -- the fugitives' mothers. First, Ginger's mother wants to revoke her daughter's bond because 18-year-old Ginger is selling drugs and running wild. Then Brandon's mother decides to revoke his bond because Brandon has a ice habit and mom thinks he'll be safer in jail.

It's been raining for days and the team is going a little stir crazy. Dog however has the cure--a good hunt. Maui has failed to appear on a drug charge and the team has just one lead. She was recently spotted during a bust at a local garage were stolen cars are taken apart to be sold for parts.

Dog decides to help two of his bondsmen buddies, Dave "Red" Widhelm and "Downtown" Bobby Brown.

Dog plans to make the bust by using Lyssa to lure Alvin out of his apartment.

Colorado bondsman Bobby Brown's got trouble and his name is Jackson. Weighing in at over 240lbs and standing six foot tall this bad boy has skipped out on a $10,000 bond.

Dog, who can never say no to a friend in need, agrees to come to the rescue and the hunt is on!

Dog is back hunting in the big city of Denver, but chasing fugitives on the mainland is more dangerous than ever. So Dog decides that the crew should get pepper-ball guns, which have much better range than pepper spray. Then they go after Clyde, a tough guy who proves elusive.

Dog's time is running out in Colorado. After a month of helping his bail bondsmen friends around Denver, he's got to get his family back home to Hawaii. But Dog wants one more capture before they leave. Friend Bobby Brown has just the jump for him--Michael, a young man who seems to have traded in a once a bright future for the darker side of life.
