The episode opens with a news report about an upcoming congressional hearing that will determine whether or not a company called Lincoln Industries will receive government funding. The company is responsible for designing and building military weapons, and their success or failure will have a significant impact on the country’s military capabilities.

Jonathan is sent to Washington, D.C., to help influence the hearing’s outcome. He is tasked with meeting with Senator John Fowler and convincing him to vote in favor of funding Lincoln Industries. Jonathan realizes that he will need to employ some unusual tactics to sway Senator Fowler’s opinion.

Meanwhile, Mark Gordon (played by Victor French), Jonathan’s mortal friend and companion, is struggling to make ends meet. He has been unable to find work and is facing mounting bills.
