With the Mayor possibly being assassinated, Mike runs away.

After an incident at a pier opening where the Mayor thought someone was shooting at him, all of the sudden the Mayor gets paranoid about being seen in public. Plus the fact that Mike, ran away from the Mayor when the incident happened, makes the Mayor feels almost betrayed by Mike's actions. The Mayor is looking for a new right-hand-man and it looks like it may be Paul.

Also Arthur is going to propose marriage to Nikki. Arthur seeks the advise of Carter but thinks that Stuart is Carter. So now Arthur is taking advise, which we know will not have the best intentions, from Stuart about what Nikki wants.

The incident with the Mayor has some humorous lines and funny gags. The time where they are reviewing the tape, while in the Mayor's office, is some funny stuff. The advise from Stuart was a little over the top and really did not seem believable, but it was nice enough for a time filler. The Mayor's incident was well done and good enough to make for a good watch. An enjoyable episode.
