Synopsis
As Mount Catherine erupts, a rival community leader uses the chaos to plot the mayor's murder.
Episode recap
Mount Catherine begins to erupt, and while everyone else evacuates, one man sees opportunity: with ash falling like a curtain, the town's mayor can be murdered and the mountain will take the blame. "Eruption" pairs the series with the great 1980s disaster-movie tradition — nature as the loudest character in the story — and threads a small, cold-blooded crime through the middle of the chaos. The team ends up fighting on two fronts at once, rescuing the endangered and unmasking a killer using catastrophe as camouflage. Five years after Mount St. Helens, no American audience needed the danger explained.
