Treme residents get a welcome respite from a challenging year when Jazz Fest comes to New Orleans.

The city celebrates the election of Barack Obama. Desautel opens her own restaurant and LaDonna rebuilds Gigi's bar. Also, as the school band director, Batiste becomes invested in his students' lives.

A judge's ultimatum gives hope to LaDonna and Toni; Albert makes a stand; Antoine gets an airport gig; Janette takes her cooking skills on the road; Annie auditions for a Cajun gig.
