Plot

Audrey wanders the local farmer's market and enjoys the food there until somehow, it all goes bad and spoils. Also nearby, the McShaw brothers are opening their restaurant, Second Chance, with great care. One is a fantastic cook and one has a background in business. The brothers are old friends of Duke's and he brings them a surprise which they must buy without looking at it. This is apparently an old game they have from when they were younger. Audrey first suspects the brother who is a cook, but he is not the cause. After the opening night, when the food goes bad in the middle of their grand opening, Audrey realizes what is causing the food to go bad. Apparently, when Bill eats something and gets upset, all the food associated with what he's eaten goes bad as well. In order to save the building that has been in their family forever, the brothers give Duke the Second Chance using their old "surprise" game. It works because once he takes the box, he has to keep the surprise. Duke accepts and agrees to take care of it because Jeff and Bill are like brothers to him.
