Caitlin goes Sci-fi for a young rich man.

Evey main character has some part to play in this episode as three different situations are cycled. The first one involves the Mayor's ex-wife writing a tell-all book which includes his sexual inadequacies. The Mayor calls a halt to all events and lets Charlie fill in for him. It is not long before the Mayor misses the limelight.

Meanwhile, Caitlin is dating a young rich man that has a quirk. It seems the man, Tim, has such a love for science fiction stuff that he goes to conventions dressed as characters. When he invites Caitlin to one of the meeting, things get weird.

There was also a plot about Paul chewing nicotine gum but they went no where quickly. This seemed to be an average show that gave everyone some face-time on camera. And with the writer having to give everyone a bit part - it takes away from from the main situation and weakens the entire production.
