Little Mosque on the Prairie

Yasir and Baber decide to set up a Muslim cemetery.

Mercy's local public access TV station asks Amaar to host an Islamic-themed program. But when he brings Rayyan on as a guest she steals the show. Meanwhile, Layla faces the wrath of her father after a hair dye job goes wrong.

A veil-wearing newcomer arouses controversy and romance in the town of Mercy. There's trouble in Mercy when a mystery woman shows up at the mosque wearing a face veil. Sarah finds it oppressive. Fred finds it creepy. Baber falls in love. But he doesn't have a way with women so he enlists Yasir to turn him into a ladies' man.

Sarah's habit of buying lottery tickets runs her afoul of both Islam and her daughter. Meanwhile Amaar struggles to hip-ify Muslim youth day by re-branding it "Islamapalooza."

When Toronto Maple Leaf's star Darcy Tucker endorses a brand of beet juice made in Mercy, the company's stock goes through the roof. Sarah helps the Mayor re-brand the town as beet capital of Canada. But will the "beet train" lead them to riches or derail the whole town.

Amaar's old friend and rival Ali comes to visit Mercy and the competition starts anew. And a water shortage prompts Rayyan to turn Mercy mosque into the world's first eco- friendly "green mosque."

A Canadian Security Intelligence Service agent visits town, arousing suspicions around the mosque. Guest starring The Daily Show's Samantha Bee.

Baber runs afoul of a little-known Muslim concept: the evil eye. Is his run of bad luck the will of God? Or his own fault? Meanwhile Rayyan lets her conscience run away with her after inadvertently stealing a chocolate bar from a convenience store.

Baber can't give a keynote speech at a conference in Chicago because he's on the American no fly list. Amaar and Rayyan persuade him to fight the power by taking a day-long road trip to the American consulate. Back in Mercy, the Mayor wants to put a private bathroom in her office -- and Yasir will stop at nothing to get the job.

Christmas is around the corner and Sarah's blue. She misses the fun and pageantry of her pre-conversion Christmasses. Rayyan vows to make this year's Muslim festival, Eid al- hada, a little more Christmassy to cheer up her mom. And: the Christmas rush leads to trouble at the mosque, where Amaar and Magee come into conflict over limited parking.

It's New Year's Eve and Yasir is depressed. Another year's gone by and he hasn't reached the goals he's set for his business. Rayyan throws a dinner to cheer him up, and over dinner Rayyan, Baber, and Amaar share stories of where they were doing exactly five years ago.

When the "Welcome to Mercy" sign at town limits is destroyed, Sarah replaces it with a multi-lingual sign in Arabic, Ukrainian, and Chinese... but forgets the English.

The Mayor wants to scrap "Wheat Week", Mercy's beloved summer festival. It's Sarah's job to find a way to put a positive spin on the cancellation. And Yasir struggles to enjoy a football match on his new big-screen TV, while Rayyan and Fatima suffer from bad hair days -- which can happen, even under a headscarf.

There's trouble at Amaar's Koranic studies class when he intercepts a note from Layla indicating she's got a crush on him. He does what any good teacher would do: he runs to Rayyan for help. Meanwhile, when Yasir and Sarah help Fatima study for her citizenship test, they come close to driving her out of the country.

When Fred Tupper mocks Amaar's attempts to curl, Amaar sets up Mercy's -- and perhaps the world's -- first Muslim curling team. Rayyan's got natural talent, but is she so good that the team will lose her? Meanwhile Sarah uses Islamic tradition to get Yasir to pay for a shopping spree.

During Ramadan -- the Muslim month of fasting -- Amaar asks his congregation to give up their faults. For Yasir, it's lying. For Sarah, it's gossip. For Baber, it's anger. Meanwhile Rayyan and Baber must work together to replace the mosque's worn carpets.

Yasir is thrilled when he gets a contract to build a pumping substation in Mercy. One snag: he has no idea how to build one. So he brings in outside help: J.J., an engineer and the son of an old friend. But with a chemistry between Rayyan and J.J. will his presence in Mercy lead to more than just a job? Meanwhile, Baber forces Layla build her resume by becoming a summer intern.

Rayyan and J.J. quarrel over ice cream and the men in her past. And Sarah runs afoul of Muslim tradition when she dusts off her tap shoes for a talent contest.

Rayyan and J.J. have been dating for awhile, and J.J. -- under pressure from Yasir -- thinks marriage is the next step. J.J. agrees. Yasir agrees. J.J.'s father agrees. There's only one problem: no one's asked Rayyan. Meanwhile, Amaar tries to come to terms with his feelings for Rayyan before it's too late.
