Storyline

All staffers prepare for the mayor's annual costumed ball. However it's also quarterly budget vote time, so Mike has set up Stacey with swing vote councilman Pete, who proves mentally unstable enough to take literally mike's advice not to resign but become 'captain New York'. James's Danny-rendition easily out-stages Paul's lame act at the city hall auditions to perform with the mayor, yet he takes pity on his unfair and haughty competitor. Stuart lacks guts to dump Deirdre, who stills acts jealously possessive, so he fakes a affair with Nikki. Written by KGF Vissers
