Plot Overview

Sara invited Ed and Mildred over to wtach the election returns. Ollie and Phillips were gleeful that Dalton will no doubt win. Ollie voiced concerns about keeping Dalton's ego in check, but Phillips told him not to worry. Ed was grief-stricken that his comments might have cost Thompson the election. Everyone was thrilled when Thompson opened the race with a overwhelming lead. Mike commented that Dalton's dirty tactics might have backfired. Ed worried that if Thompson wins, he'd probably fire Ed for stabbing him in the back. Ollie and Phillips grew restless as the numbers held for Thompson. At the last moment, as larger precincts closer to Monticello closed, Peter Dalton won the election in a landslide victory. With an inflated ego, Dalton refused to phone calls from Ollie and Phillips after the election. Phillips laughed to Ollie that with enough rope, Dalton will hang himself... and Phillips will be delighted to supply the rope.
