    4/10
    After the nice set-up from part one, Part two was a dud.
    In this second part episode, we knew from the last show that the newspaper received a photo of the Mayor looking as though he was paying a known prostitute. But we found out that the night the Mayor was suppose to be with the prostitute, he was with Mike's mother. Mike wants to keep his mother safe and refuses to tell the press the alibi for the Mayor.

    As for Paul situation with accidentally being shot by the security guard, that story fell apart. When the security guard's case went to TV and was going to be heard on "The People's Court" we all knew things were going to take a poor turn. Even though the situation had a humorous side, it was so unrealistic that it took away from the entire show.

    Was hoping for more in this second part but felt disappointed. The set-up from the previous show had us hungry for anticipation but the viewer was given only gruel. When looking back at this episode one can only think what might-have-been. It was part disappointing and part fairy tale. Not the way it should have ended.
