| Summary: | |
| Donna woke up to find the river in her backyard had completely disappeared. What will the townspeople do now that the river has re-routed itself after a flood? Should they reroute it back or leave it? And what will this do to the land? The final decision will be left to a vote after the townspeople debate both sides. | |
