    Another Perez

    A couple of unique situations. Perez, the guy who has never gotten over the killing of a little boy in an accident (he was totally cleared), saves a family from a fire. But there are a lot of questions. The garbage men continue to ply their trade and things get really disconnected. Another face enters the picture and things are thrown into turmoil. Patsy is going to the orthodontist who apparently likes to be active when his pretty patients are under gas. We get the results of the election as well.
