Dan records mayor Mullins having kinky sex and uses the tape to make him drop reelection and support his own run for office; Deb can get her divorce if she endorses him sixty more days, till after the election; she decides to milk the time, spending a fortune on a  candidate s wife s look  (wardrobe and even a personal trainer Hans) while dumping his cloths and uses a tazer to enforce a distance in bed, but his revenge is as sweet. Peyton and her dad try to get okay again with each-other and her late ma. At the ball many kids enjoy or toy with alternative identities, while Haley only wants to drop her rock star status and get Nathan back. Lucas tells Haley about his heart disease after Haley saw him steal from Karens till now Dan no longer pays his medicine. Nathan asks Chris Keller to help Haley, strictly with her music: done, but the lout also steals a kiss in an identical costume as Nathans.
