Paul goes to Tangerinre to help his friends save their tangeine crops. As the night goes on and Paul works intensely, running from one emergency to the next, he thinks of people in Lake Windsor drinking cocoa and sitting by fake logs. Then the temperature starts to drop. It goes down to 24. Luis tells everyone that if it stays this cold for ten more minutes he’s calling it off. Paul can’t believe it. As Paul stands looking that the frozen trees in the firelight, he realizes how tired he is. Luis sends the kids in to get warm. Theresa brings Paul coffee. He’s never had coffee before. His fingers are so cold he can’t hold the cup. Paul is empathetic to the plight of his friends and works all night to save the tangerines. Erik is a sociopath who only thinks about himself.
