She meets Havenites Conrad Brauer and Duke Crocker, as well as journalists Vince and Dave Teagues, before discovering that Lester was thrown to his death by a local woman named Marion Caldwell.

Her curiosity is awakened and, after solving the Lester case, Parker chooses to stay in Maine, using several weeks of her accrued vacation time.

After solving the bizarre destruction of a bar called the Rust Bucket with Nathan, Audrey is offered a position with the Haven Police Department by Chief Wuornos, who cites Parker's willingness to "see things as they are" as a valuable trait.

In the beginning of season one, Nathan rescues FBI Agent Audrey Parker when her vehicle runs off the road and crashes through a barrier.

Another case involves the bizarre behavior of doctors and patients at the Murray Q. Frederickson Psychiatric Facility, when Nathan suffers a psychotic episode after falling victim to Ray McBreen's metaphysical power.

Nathan pursues a relationship with animal-rights activist Jess Minnion, though he experiences anxiety over being intimate with her because, as we find out, he can't feel physical sensation.

After she leaves, Nathan discovers that he is able to feel the touch of Audrey Parker, and though he keeps the discovery to himself, he begins to find excuses to be in physical contact with her.

Chief Wuornos, Nathan's father and one of the guests, explains the strange circumstances, saying that a shape-shifter must have been posing as the hotel owner for years.

Nathan has to act quickly to clear himself: he seizes Audrey, kisses her and then shoots her because he can't feel her touch and he knows that the chameleon has taken Parker's form.

In the season's final episode, Max Hanson, who once lived in Haven, is paroled from Shawshank State Prison and returns to the town.

After Duke is arrested when his "stolen" gun turns up on Tuwiuwok Bluff, at the scene of Jonus Lester's mysterious death, Audrey clears him of suspicion in the case.

Duke later acquires a stuffed marlin that once hung on the wall of the Shiny Scupper Restaurant and inadvertently buys the deed to the Second Chance Bistro from Bill McShaw for $20.

He later helps his son, Detective Nathan Wuornos, track Duke Crocker's boat, the Cape Rouge, when it is hijacked with Audrey on-board.

In his anger over the argument, Garland fails to prevent a fissure from cracking a street as Hansen tries to escape, resulting in the parolee's death.
