Season 2, Episode 25
When Nina suggests a double date with her and her boyfriend, Maya isn't interested. But when Nina and Roger arrive at her apartment anyway, Maya agrees to have them and their friend Michael in for dinner. Then, while Maya is out of the room, Nina and Roger take off. And after he takes advantage of the moment with a kiss, his back goes out, leaving him stranded. Meanwhile, after insisting that Finch participate in an inter-office paint ball match, an accidental shot takes Jack out of the contest just as it's getting started. Only after realizing he can't move does Michael reveal that he's both married and a Congressman. Because his wife thinks he's on a hunting trip in Louisiana, he cannot call for help. However, Maya is determined to get him out of her apartment. But when Nina provides some pain pills to help get him up and around, he passes out cold. Meanwhile, Jack won't forgive Finch for taking him out of the paint ball contest early. Following up on a lead, the police arrive at Maya's in their search for Michael. While successfully managing to hide him, Maya learns of Michael's reputation for philandering. And with Nina's help, she dumps the unconscious congressman on the street dressed in women's clothes. Finally, as Michael struggles to explain to an inquisitive press, Finch redeems himself with Jack after throwing himself in front of an exploding soda can.
