When you have their jobs, there's no such thing as a peaceful vacation...

Sam and Nick are ready to get out of DC-and the White House-for a much-needed vacation to celebrate their second anniversary. Due to ongoing political pressures, they decide to scuttle their plans for a return to Bora Bora to stay closer to home at their favorite oceanfront house at Dewey Beach in Delaware. But before they can make their escape, Sam is summoned back to work to deal with yet another crisis in the ongoing investigation into former Lieutenant Stahl. Just when they think they've seen the full scope of his depravity, there is more. Sam leaves Gonzo, Freddie and the rest of the squad in charge of a new investigation of a murdered college student while Gigi and Cameron deal with the Internal Affairs Board and plot their strategy to respond to a lawsuit from the Patrick family. Meanwhile, Nick's mother is working on a plea deal with an unexpected new advocate who wants her to reconcile with her estranged son.

As always for the first couple, nothing ever goes according to plan, but the chance to spend a week mostly alone is just what they needed until their children, family and friends join them for the final weekend at the beach.

It's March in Dewey, and Sam and Nick are snuggling in front of the fire as they prepare to begin their third year of marriage.
