The Mayor's father has died-- but it ain't all bad.

In this episode, we learn that the Mayor's father has just died and word is spreading through the office. We know from a previous Thanksgiving episode, that the Mayor and his father did not get along well but it still comes as a shock that the Mayor seems to be fine with his father's death. And it is even more bizarre when the Mayor arrives late for his father's funeral wake and starts cracking jokes. It really seems that it does not effect him. But as the story plays out we will learn that it just may hurt the Mayor more than he knows.

Also in this episode, James misinterprets some words by Caitlin and now James thinks that Caitlin is in love with him. The problem is that Caitlin was just being nice but James is the only one not seeing what is going on in their relationship.

This was not a bad episode as the storyline kept the viewers entertained with constant laughs. The story about the Mayor's father was humorous throughout and there was some good lines as James believes that him and Caitlin are a pair. A well acted episode that played out well. Good watch.
