== Episode ==
We open with a shot of several posters being put up; they are candidate posters; six in total and the first five we don't know but, the last one is a face we do know. Its Moe.
Slade: Still cant believe you went through with this.
Both men are watching the posters being put up by some city workers from the Window of Slade's apartment. Passing people regard them with curiosity and interest. Most just carry on with their day; more important thing to worry about that mundane politics.
Moe: Well we all need hobbies.
Slade: Hey there is a hobby and then there is.... whatever this is.
Tobias joins them at the window and we see a few of the others in the background; it looks like a makeshift campaign room has been set up. In the far back Toby and Penelope are playing with used paper while Amy watches over them.
Tobias: Nonsense my friend, even Churchill moved on from the horror of War in his own way.
Adam: Was this before or after Gallipoli? 
Tobias: Been brushing up on your history?
From his seat Adam continues to work on his laptop.
Adam: Hey like you said we all need a hobby.
Slade: Thought that was your class project.
A tense silence follows; its a subject in the back of everyone's minds that they don't really want to poke at right now, luckily they dont have to has the door is knocked.
Penny: Ill get it.
She runs to the door and opens it to reveal Michael, Cage and the rest of the gang.
Penny: Your back, how did it go? Did you get anything Good?
Cage ruffles her hair while the others come in and set things down; we can see that they have been putting up flyers around town and have got through quite a few of them.
Slade: So, how did it go?
James looks over and pats an empty bag.
James: We must have covered a few city blocks with those flyers and manifesto's 
Tamera: And, then some, geezus who knew you could still get away with printing that much on a public machine.
Slade: Hey they don't ask so I wont tell and besides its all for a good cause.
He looks over with a smile at Moe, in the background Nathan is flipping through the tv channels.
Slade: Got to get our fearless leader's face out there to the public 
Nathan: You sure about that?
All heads turn to him and we see there is a program on and its about the candidates. The others look surprised and come over to watch. 
Penelope: What the hell, turn it up Nathan.
He complies and we see the announcer is talking about one of the candidates; a young woman who is dressed in winter gear and looks to be a former sports athlete.
Announcer: Well we shall see if the spunky little Canadian spitfire will live up to the hype she generated wont we.
Karina: Shit, I've got a bad feeling about this.
Adam: You to because that guy looks quite familiar.
Penelope: Wait, your right.... dam it what was his name?
Tamera: Cooper Smith, he was a tabloid talk show host back before the fall.
Now the others look concerned.
Tobias: Its not any form of election without the monkey and the organ grinder.
We see a picture of Moe come up.
Slade: And where there is a monkey there is a lot of muck ready to fly.
Cooper Smith: So candidate number four a real man of mystery this one, humble one to.
He shows a picture of Moe's staff id working as a janitor.
Cooper Smith: Can we be to sure of that?
We then show surveillance footage of Moe and some of the others working with the military during the various crisis of the previous seasons.
Cooper Smith: A man we have learnt has close ties to the military of our city, especially during the crisis seems like a here but, what do we really know? Is the military trying to get their foot into politics now?
He pauses for dramatic affect before moving on.
Copper Smith: We will have the answers next week with our live coverage from the debates, remember to tune at nine sharp people....
Nathan turns off the show in disgust.
Nathan: Didn't take them long to turn this into a media circus. 
Penny: Isn't a Circus a good thing, people like the circus right?
Amy: Not this kind of Circus honey....
Penny: Oh.
She looks down and goes back to laying with her brother. Moe meanwhile is looking out the window.
Moe: I think we need to get in some practice.
Slade weakly chuckles.
Slade: Yeh public speaking in a nest of vipers... give me a walker any day.
There is a weak chuckle all around and we fade to black.
