In this episode, the doctors of NYC flee, shots are fired, and severe head trauma ensues (in 1788 no less)!  All of this before we find out how the Sultanate of Morocco ties into Federalist No. 3.  The guys continue their critique of Jay, allowing for only a modicum of relief due to his injuries, before attacking Jay’s hypothesis that our new country will be led by philosopher kings and warrior poets.  The Anti-Federalists are heard to cry foul at Jay’s straw man argument.  And in the end, Jay concludes by asking, “Does anyone really want to end up like Genoa?”
