Traffic
Richter's having an unusual panic attack that results in him deciding to exit the Qwopter and continue to fly it while standing on the runners. Edith tries to calm him down, but Richter admonishes her not to get hysterical, then signs off before either Edith or Graham can get any actual traffic out of him. Edith sets a Google news alert for "helicopter crash."
Interview
Derek the Intern sits down with the Pipesmen's representatives, Richard Therpston III and Ralph from the Geological Society, for an interview about why the Pipesmen are calling for Alex's impeachment. Dick Therpston is sick of explaining it, so he leaves it up to Ralph. Apparently the Pipesmen have been trying to bring light rail to Therpston County for 18 years, although they haven't told anyone about it because they're a secret society. Every time Therpston County has an election, Pipesmen all cast write-in votes for "a train" as a protest. However, in the election following the death of Richard Therpston, those votes were counted as being for "A-Train," aka Alex, helping him win the position. Ralph therefore argues that all votes for "A-Train" should be counted for their light rail project instead, meaning Alex is not really the aldersm'n and the Pipesmen get their train. Edith points out that when she wrote in "A-Train," she did actually mean to vote for Alex. Big G-Money tells the "pipefriends" that since nobody knew about the train (because it's a secret!), all the "A-Train" votes were, legitimately, cast for Alex, and the Pipesmen should calm down and try lobbying Alex instead. The Pipesmen accept this idea and Dick Therpston starts planning to make Alex a full member of their society.
