The Barber

Peleti begins a campaign to run for council on a Labour ticket in Flaxmere in order to give back to his community.

Peleti Oli faces being the first-elected Pacific Islander on the Hastings District Council and his cousin going missing at the same time.

Peleti's impostor syndrome sets in, as he believes the council picked the wrong person, and he has to confront some of the demons of his past.

Peleti takes the barber shop kaupapa to the men in Hawkes Bay men's prison, so they are able to talk about what's going on inside their heads.

Jonique's cousin has been missing for four months, and it's taking a huge toll on the whanau; Peleti is torn between his commitments at work and at home.
