Suffering a PottyEmergency, Dan is impeded in his desperate drive home by the immovable gridlock. He fails to get home in time, and, feeling it's now personal, decides to rid the city of its horrific traffic. He takes special aim at Helicopter Hal, a traffic reporter who profits from the gridlock. Meanwhile, Elise is designing a new, non-lethal bioweapon for the government. It causes a long period of vertigo. After hijacking Elise's chemicals and Helicopter Hal's chopper, Dan inadvertently drops the bioweapon and the wind carries it to Bakersfield.
