In the episode, Leslie (Amy Poehler) faces obstacles while trying to pass a soda tax, while Andy (Chris Pratt) trains for his upcoming police physical examination.
Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., Ben is prepared to fire his lazy interns, especially after one posts an unflattering drawing of him in the office, but instead decides to be overly friendly to them after learning that they are all related to, or have social ties to, powerful political figures.
Leslie becomes so nervous during the council vote on the tax that she binges on cheap soda and vomits, buying her more time to think it over.
Inspired by Ron's (begrudging) appreciation for her convictions, Leslie goes back to the council chambers and casts the vote that passes the tax by a 3–2 margin.
