Located in the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, Quebec's Les Îles de la Madeleine are the destination on this episode. The islands are mostly French-speaking, but a small Anglophone minority, including 14-year-old Terry Lapierre also make their home here. Terry joins Jennifer and Jamie in a body-surfing expedition of the seaside caves, before taking them out on his family's boat, to learn how to fish for Mackerel, just one of the fish caught off the Islands. The hosts soon realize that fishing is the island's most important industry.
