Alex learns that his motive is to turn the island into one large real estate development. Because of this, Callie talks Alex into running against Brian. This move places Molly into a difficult position, both as a friend and an employee. On the friend side, Molly has to choose between voting for her father or her best friend. On the professional side, the Widow's Walk has been without a cook for a month already and Molly has been run ragged doing all the work, more of which will happen during the mayoral campaign due to Alex's absences and Callie's campaign plan. Molly is feeling unappreciated which may affect both her employment status and friendship with Alex. A savior may come in the form of Russian immigrant Boris Obolenski, who is new to the island. Boris is a Jack of All Trades including knowing how to cook for a large number of people. He unilaterally decides to take over service in the kitchen. He may have to do more work at the Widow's Walk depending on Molly. With the campaign, Alex realizes that one issue she faces is a dislike of public speaking which may be in direct conflict with being an effective mayor. However after the mayoral debate, Alex and Brian come to a compromise to achieve both their life goals. Meanwhile, Daniel hires Boris for his painting skill to paint the church exterior. From this job, Daniel learns the hard way that Boris is on the island waiting for his fiancée to arrive. Daniel later learns the full story behind Boris' stay on the island, the story and Alex's speech at the debate which leads to Boris' stay being a little longer than he first anticipated.
