Dan (Fred Ewanuick) takes a trip down memory lane when he visits his high school workplace, Old Fort Wessex. Sadly, the Fort has seen better days, so Dan commits to his old boss, the Fort’s General, that he will do his best to turn things around. Meanwhile, Claire (Mary Ashton) plans to lure Japanese businessmen to Wessex and inadvertently creates a solution for the cash-strapped Fort.

From Farhana Uddin of the East York Town Crier:

• Writer running with comedy inspiration
  “There’s one character (in Dan for Mayor) called Mike. He’s always over-thinking things and screwing things up,” Mather says. “That’s a lot like me. I’ll get so worked up over something, just to have it blow up in my face.” Read more.

As the new Mayor of Wessex, Dan finds himself having to attend a variety of events from pig roasts to pancake breakfasts. With Claire on his arm, he is unsure whether she is a political asset or liability. Alan already has his mind made up and imposes himself as the Mayor’s handler by keeping Claire occupied. Mike tries to insinuate himself into a budding friendship with Jeff by pointing out that Mayor Dan doesn’t have much time for his old pal Jeff anymore.
