Complete story — includes the ending

Leslie, Ben and Tom conduct a series of television, radio and newspaper interviews to promote the harvest festival. However, during one interview, Ben is confronted about his past as an 18-year-old mayor, during which he made his city go bankrupt. The socially awkward Ben struggles to respond to these questions, and the story becomes increasingly about him rather than the harvest festival. With Leslie's encouragement, however, Ben finds his confidence and insists his mistakes are in the past, which steers the coverage back to the festival. Meanwhile, Andy struggles to do everything April hates with the hopes of stopping her from moving to Indianapolis. After Ron encourages April to stop stringing Andy along, she finally forgives Andy and kisses him. Meanwhile, Ann and Chris agree they must sort out the future of their relationship before Chris moves back to Indianapolis.
