Episode Summary: "Confessions and Coffee"

A new day dawns at Sharkey's Place as Kirini attempts to bring life back to the bar's morning routine. Enter Magda, a talented cook from Veracruz, who literally cooks her way into a job by serving up a perfect omelet and promising a menu of authentic Mexican cuisine and hand-roasted coffee . As Magda begins to fill the void left by Myra and Elsa, the local community—including a melancholic Boots and a storytelling Captain Gordon—reconverges at the bar to share "lusty tales" and gossip about the mysterious "Witch of the Maple Fields" .

The evening takes a chilling turn during open mic night. While Boots Moran tests out a gritty new crime novel , an unexpected guest known as Father Joe delivers a harrowing "confession" that leaves the room stunned. The night ends in typical Sharkey's fashion: the recently paroled Aiden and Caiden return to the stage for a comedy set that, once again, devolves into a barroom brawl when Caiden’s "demons" get the better of him .
