The episode begins with Yardak having a meeting with President Abigail Ritter to discuss what’s happening with the people of Chenpar Atlan and the upcoming presidential campaign of Vice President Thomas Van Orden. It doesn’t exactly end the way Yardak hopes and he states he may take it up with the UN. Even though the conversation had a few barbs, the president and the ambassador part on good terms.

With the upcoming election in Atlantis, Yardak has been in pretty constant contact with back home. Atlantis has also sent Yaradamo to help rally those in the offshore village of Chenpar Atlan to consider returning to Atlantis to take part in the vote.

In a bright spot of positive mental growth. Ruby and Dr. Bellum agree to scale back their therapy appointments as Ruby has gotten herself into a good place. 

Tension in Riverside

Walking into Centennial Nails & Spa, Yardak is delighted to see Atlanteans working there and they start their day of pampering. In the midst of getting their nails done the Atlantean workers are ushered away and human workers take their place. Two uniformed Riverside City police officers show up to the spa shortly after asking speak to the owner about undocumented workers as the Atlanteans run out the back door. The Hive helps with covering for the workers and the cops soon depart.

Driving home after finishing up their mani-pedi the gang passes by a pro-Atlantean protest which they stop to support and Bethany and Ruby start filming. The group of Atlanteans want Yardak to speak to share their message but Yardak says that it’s time for the people of Atlantis to have their voice heard. The police, in riot gear, arrive to forcibly move the protest. Yardak yells that the group has the right to assemble and have their voices heard. Yardak throws a huge force field around the group of protestors who then use their water to help him strengthen it. The police back off realizing they can’t do anything with the force field there and leave them be to continue their protest.

After all the chaos of the day they all decide to go get a much needed drink at Jack’s. A few Atlantean’s walk into the bar as Pam heads out to go feed Cafe and Bodega. Yardak convinces them to take a trip back home to Atlantis sure they get their vote in. Wrapping up their drinks they head over to the Lazerhut to check in on the dogs with Pam.

They find themselves with Ulabrin back in the Atlantean royal palace. She informed them she believes there is a plot to interfere with the vote in Atlantis and launch an attack and she needs their help. Ulabrin has brought in two allies: Uladion, sniper and former comrade of Yardak’s, and more surprisingly, Prince Yarkalen.
