In which Nancy is the Democratic National Convention offices! Nancy and Ned are tentatively back together, just hangin’, when a local political candidate is nearly shot.

Nancy, of course, can’t turn that down, even though it promises to cut into makin’ out time. Also featured: car chases, mysterious lanky guy with a shotgun, and a very convenient dumbwaiter.
