    Another episode, another relationship.

    Everything seems to be going great for Mike Flaherty as he is back on the dating scene. He has meet a young beautiful woman that is in law-school named Gayley. They are the hottest item at City Hall and everyone approves of the match.

    During some City Hall business, one of the administrations favorite councilman is having a bachelor party. Mike tells everyone that since the councilman has been so good to the Mayor, the party at the strip club is mandatory for the male staff.

    But during the main performance at the club, Mike is stunned to see that Gayley, his girlfriend, is a stripper. He knows nothing of this until she comes on the stage. And with the press getting wind of the situation, Mike's career may be in jeopardy.

    Another episode that shows just how difficult lives become when exposed to the public eye. Nothing wrong with the story but it does seem that the writers could at least make one story where Mike does not end up hurt by the shows end. If you happen to be watching the episodes in order, then you know it has been a long time since Mike has been the winner when the credit roll. Just does not seem fair.
