Synopsis[]
K'nuckles becomes the new mayor of Stormalong, much to the town's dismay.
Plot[]
K'Nuckles keeps getting Dock tickets for ridiculous reasons (such as no whining) and reasons he can't control (no feeding the shark) with that said K'nuckles can't even go on Stormalong without getting a ticket. But Flapjack believes the Doc Hag must have a boss to complain to. They follow the Dock Hag into the mayors office.
They meet Bobble Headlady and ask can they see the mayor. Bobble Head Lady denies since he doesn't have an appointment and proves to be unreasonable with that said. Outside the Dock Hag and the Constible come out and try to arrest K'nuckles for unpaid Dock Tickets. K'nuckles and Flapjack escape back into the Mayor's house and despite Bobble Head Lady's objection K'nuckles just pushes her away and walks into the Mayor's office.
Much to their shock, they discover no mayor and after looking over some old documents, the duo discovers that Stormalong Harbor has never technically had a mayor -- while reading through the old documents, Flapjack discovers that when the city was first founded, the leaders at the time couldn't decide who should be the official mayor, so they just wrote "TBD" down on Stormalong's constitution. When Flapjack expresses confusion as to what "TBD" means, K'nuckles explains that it means "to be decided," which in turns that the founders never picked a mayor -- when K'nuckles realizes what this means, he makes himself the mayor of Stormalong, putting the captain's name on the documents. When the citizens of Stormalong see Captain K'nuckles is now the mayor, the Dock Hag refuses to believe while Constable Norm realizes that he himself has never actually seen the mayor in person -- the Bobble Head Lady also admits that she's never actually seen the mayor in person either but had simply assumed that the mayor (whoever they were) was just busy this whole time. Since nobody else can recall ever actually seeing Stormalong's mayor in person, they're forced to comply.
At townhall everybody in Stormalong was excited to meet the mayor but after seeing that K'nuckles is the mayor they all (humorously) assume it was a joke but K'nuckles says it's no joke and holds up the treaty he signed, proving that he's now technically the mayor of Stormalong. He bans the dock hag (they throw her out to sea with hungry sharks) and the constable (the townspeople beat him up off screen).
At first everything seems normal but the town has fallen apart everyone begins having 2nd thoughts and they decide to throw K'nuckles in jail. But Flapjack decides to nominate himself even though K'nuckles will still go to Jail Flapjack agrees to pardon him but K'nuckles still skeptical decides to go against Flapjack. K'nuckles bribes everyone with candy but Flapjack's (with a little help from The Colonel) decisions prove to be worthwhile. They fight and fight over who is going to win when in the end Lady Nickelbottoms's dog,The Colonel, despite not participating in the election, somehow wins. Flapjack and K'nuckles are both shocked that they lost to a dog (and one that never even technically participated in the election). K'nuckles is ultimately arrested and sent to jail by the rehired Constable Norm and the resurfed Dock Hag, and the episode ends with the Colonel jumping on Lolly Poopdeck's face after shouting "You're not the boss of me" at Constable Norm.
