Charlie, who is now a tenured professor at Cal Sci, is approached by Larry to help him understand the math behind the voting system. Despite not being a member of the Academy himself, Charlie agrees to help his friend. Together, they analyze the various methods used to count and tally the votes. However, they soon discover that the voting system is not as secure as they thought it would be.
Meanwhile, Don is tasked with investigating a series of burglaries that have been occurring throughout the city.
