THE LAKE – created by Julian Doucet – Season Two – limited spoilers
Couples are the focus of things. Wayne Moore (John Dore) is living in a sea plane he does not know how to fly because Jayne (Natalie Lisinska) threw him out of the house after he traded their boat for the plane. Their four children, quadruplets born circa 2004, are not pleased about the situation and want their parents back together. (Olive, the eldest, is so upset she has given up weed.)
Justin’s daughter, Billie Barnes (Madison Shamoun), wants to be part of a couple but hasn’t quite gotten there. A group of tree-planters headed by Ivy Buisson (Max Amani) is working nearby this year, and Billie finds herself attracted to both Ivy and her brother Forrest (Jhaleil Swaby). (She doesn’t find out till later that the two are related.) The situation is sufficiently distracting to influence Billie’s career decisions. Naomi (Lisa Codrington), Bilie’s adoptive mother, is surprisingly understanding about her daughter’s indecisiveness, leading one to suspect that Naomi might be having problems at home, though no such thing is mentioned.
