Edna Hancock has wanted a stop sign for five years and as the mayor of Cicely Holling has not delivered so Edna decides to challenge him in an election.

Ruth-Anne tells Joel that if he doesn't become election commissioner she will cut off his line of credit at the store to the tune of $ 243.52. Joel reluctantly agrees and ends up bickering with Maggie over politics.

Chris celebrates the virtues of the democratic process but unfortuantely can not participate himself because he is a convicted felon.

Maurice fears that Edna's one stop sign is the beginning of the end of his utopian dream for Cicely as bureaucrats, zoning boards and special interest groups will inevitably begin to start taking over.
