A Mayor lives under pressure.

20,000.

And maybe more from the casino.

Don't worry about the

limit, it's under the table.

Thank you.

Wow, okay.

Yeah, let's go win this thing.

Absolutely.

And if I'm going

to be redeveloping

the Hillview community for Ruth,

I just need to know

the Mayor's on board.

You mean rezoning Hillview.

We're gonna tear it up

and make shiny strip malls.

But what are you gonna

do with the residents?

They'll get bought out.

And the rest is up to them.

Your grandmother will be fine.

Estelle, this

isn't a strip club.

If you say so honey.

Most of them don't

care about money.

And I don't think

they're gonna leave.

Well that's where you come in.

For a city to flourish,

sometimes certain rights

have to be sacrificed

under a little law

called eminent domain.

It's your chance

to get grandma out

and into a home.

Estelle!

Oh you cutie you.

Yeah, it'd have to

be a really nice home.

With really hot attendants.

There's the ovaries.

I think we need

some shots huh?

You know I don't

want your shot.

I'm sorry.

Yeah or your money.

I'm not doing this.

Yeah, I'm not gonna do this.

There is something

wrong with you.

We can't do this without her.

Well, then we're not doing it.

Excuse me.

Okay.

Ouch, sh*t.

What are you doing?

I'm doing it my way.

You lame ass, b*tch

bribing, clit suckers!

Do you want a ride?

Sure.

These guys are skanks anyway.

Is something wrong

with your phone?

We need to talk.

Oh it's this guy.

What?

Where's Dave and Jeff?

Well if I remember correctly,

you gave Jeff six

weeks paternity leave

and Dave I, you're the boss.

Sh*t.

And I'm...

Just tell me one thing.

Were you planning on

redeveloping Hillview?

You were.

I was pressured into it.

Yeah.

I was just offered

the same deal.

And I'm not caving.

Amanda I swear I

didn't know it would

effect your grandmother.

But you've lost sight

of getting home.

After tomorrow the

mirror won't work.

Have you even been

looking for it?

Hello.

Hey hot stuff.

So Carol was doing a

cleanup in the alley

behind Valley Cafe and I

think we found your mirror.

Yes!

I can't

believe she found it.

I know, I know.

Alright, as soon as

we get the mirror

we're gonna go back

to Honker's, Pecker's

and we're gonna recreate

everything about that night okay?

Fine.

Hey.

Here it is sweetheart.

Oh!

Thank you so much.

Now you can look

at your pretty face.

This isn't the one.

What are you talking about?

That's the mirror, that's...

It doesn't have the

key thing on the end,

the handle is totally different.

This isn't the one.

For my sake I

was hoping it was.

Thanks Penny.

Well I hope you're happy.

Honestly, I kind of am.

I love it here.

The world is a lot

better for me here.

Is it, is it better?

Yeah.

You're turning

into an a**hole.

Really?!

Yeah, a little bit.

Because we've

been here six days

things aren't

working out totally

stacked in your favor.

Things flip and

I'm the a**hole?!

Yeah okay.

That's not what I meant.

It is exactly what you meant.

You know what, good luck.

Good luck tomorrow.

Oh good luck tomorrow?!

Good luck to you.

No, good luck to you!

You can't

storm off when we're

walking to the same place.

Happy election day everyone.

I'm glad you've

joined us for the

Mayoral Fishing event.

Anyone know where Maxwell is?

No, who cares, let's do this.

Excuse me.

Excuse me folks.

Dude.

We're gonna get schooled.

We're gonna be fine Marge.

Don't do anything

stupid, we can still win.

What's this we, I fired you.

You can't, I own you.

You've come prepared.

A Mayor always comes prepared.

You look dumb.

Here we go!

Which candidate will

be the best catch?

Good.

Thanks.

How 'bout this fresh air folks!

Too bad she's not

gonna catch any fish!

Looks like we got ourselves

a competition folks!

At least I've got my

priorities straight.

You're in my world now honey.

Aren't we supposed to

be keeping this friendly?

At least I've got a

plan for the community.

Oh you have plans?

You have a plan

for the community?

Yeah.

Do you guys wanna

see what kind of

planning skills Amanda has?

Let's see it, allow me.

Allow me to just, whoa!

She's got a big giant fish

on the end of this line!

Let's see here!

Oh no!

Forgot to bait the

hook, how embarrassing.

Oh sh*t.

Almost as

embarrassing as letting

a man strip the

pole away from her!

If she can't protect

her own fishing pole,

how is she gonna protect the

residents of Ellensburg?!

A lunatic, you

look like a lunatic.

I'm gonna find

that magic mirror.

And that I'm gonna Marty McFly

it out of here without you.

Okay, that happened.

Don't forget to vote folks

and we'll see you at the

election party tonight.

Oh dude!

Remembered all of

this gear, forgot bait.

No it's perfect, it's perfect

because Bret looked like

an over emotional man.

Right?

And Marge caught the fish

but that's like whatever.

You completely have

this in the bag.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Hey, I can hear you guys.

Sorry Marge.

Are we still cool?

Alright.

She's cool.

Thank you.

Nat was right.

You totally got this.

Thanks.

You seem stressed.

May I?

Don't worry.

You're the favorite.

And it's not like Bret

really had a chance.

Why is that?

It's gonna take

more than a few

pretty yard signs for

this town to elect a man.

That's ridiculous.

It's whoever's best for the job.

You're such a strong woman.

And I love that about you.

What are you doing?

This isn't appropriate Rick.

I wanna be more

than just your intern.

Amanda, Amanda.

I knew it.

Okay.

Dex.

Hey I used to

babysit you, remember?

Little slut.

So, this is what it means

when you have a meeting

or a dinner thing huh?

No Dex.

Typical woman.

Selfish, all you want is dick.

Dex!

Dex.

Come on!

Yeah, it's definitely

the head gasket.

No biggie.

Torque wrench.

The one that looks

like a Jedi weapon.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Are you crying?

Yeah.

Dude, why?

I could use some comfort.

Dex left me.

That's it?

Okay well let's go

get you some cock.

I just need you to be

here with me right now.

Look, maybe this is the

wake up call you need.

What?!

Amanda you're different.

I'm different?

Yeah you're different.

This whole week you've

been dressing weird,

wearing makeup like a boy.

I'm not surprised

that Dex bailed.

You'd rather discuss

a problem to death

than actually fix it.

You forgot what a freaking

light saber looks like!

Is it this one?

We're friends right?

Tell me what's happening?!

Oh my God, you

wouldn't understand.

Ouch!

Spit it out.

I'm telling you it's...

Ouch!

Look I promise I'll be cool.

Just tell me the truth.

Are you a lesbian?

No.

No?

No.

Great.

Stop it, you're

being an a**hole!

Okay, alright!

That's more like it!

It's good to see some of

the old you still in there.

Okay okay fine,

you wanna know?

You wanna know what happened?

It's gonna sound insane but I

will tell you what happened.

Yeah please.

Alright, apparently I
