Indecision

"Indecision" is the second episode of the first season of The Council of Averages.

Official Overview
Nic considers a presidential run.

Synopsis
Nic tells the others that he intends to run for president, to which Leighton responds "oh, cool, so you can spend even less time with us than you already do?" while Miles expresses concern that his seat in the Senate will be taken by a Republican if he doesn't run for reelection, since he fought tooth and nail to get his seat in the first place.

Leighton handcuffs him to a chair in the dining room with duct tape over his mouth. When Nic asks her how long he'll be there, she states that the deadline for filling his candidacy is in four days, causing him to freak out, she laughs and assures him that was an intimidation tactic, before saying that renowned reporter Charlotte Hofmann begins filming her analysis of the primaries in nine hours, and anyone who isn't included has no chance. Cue a montage of the nine hours that Nic is handcuffed.
