Plot Overview

Hank Muller visited Hester and offered to pay for demographic information about her former book customers. Hester impulsively refused but agreed when Hank suggested she tell Martin the money came from back commissions. Phillips plotted to have reporter McGinnis arrested, request Peter to release him, then put the screws to Dalton when he refuses. Jim Mitchell told Phillips he needs an ex-con who's also a good mechanic to work in his garage. Phillips suggested hiring Martin Spode. Mike silently delighted over Dalton's sweaty reaction to Audrey Veniard's photograph of the man at the election rally. Phillips vowed he'll make Dalton prosecute or release any person Phillips wants then phoned a salivating Peter with a "hot" investment tip. Martin boiled when he walked in on Hester and Hank giggling uproariously. Hester tried to soothe Martin, but he left. Hester threw Hank out of the apartment and instructed him to never come back. Phillips' instinct about Peter's greed was on the money when Dalton arrived in 26 minutes. Jim Mitchell stopped by the Spode apartment with a job offer. Although Hester was skeptical, Mitchell badgered her into encouraging Martin to accept the job.
