Muckraking reporter Wayne Sheridan wants to connect Randall's administration to organized crime. Several staffers make this easy, including Randall and Nikki. Randall gives a sanitation contract to a mobster, whom Nikki is dating.
The colleagues praise Niki for her latest date Tony DiMarco, finally a classy man. Scandal reporter Wayne Sheridan taunts Mike with a scandal exposing the mayor as mob-broiled. Indeed, Tony got a sanitation contract during a hunting trip, but it's too late to put straight, so Mike, whose regular therapist handed over to father-figure Dr. Petersen, needs to choose a fall guy.—KGF Vissers
When Mike has a personal crisis he goes to a psychiatrist to help him resolve it. It seems like Wayne Sheridan who has it in for the administration says he has them when he discovers a link to an organized crime figure Tony Demarco. It turns out that he is Nikki's current boyfriend and he has done things for the other staff members and the staff has done things for him. Mike thinks it's OK till he finds out the mayor awarded a contract to his company. So the only alternative is for Mike to throw someone under the bus. Question is who. And this whole things interferes with his attempts to get together with Caitlin.—rcs0411@yahoo.com
