Washington Holiday - 32

King Josif of Romania was planning on requesting admission to NATO and the hard liners in his country threaten to kill his daughter, Princess Alexandra- a spoiled brat, if he does. They shot her bodyguard, while at a function, as a warning to the king. Webb convinced the SECNAV to assign Harm as her '"escort" to official functions while she was in the country. While at a formal dinner she went to the bathroom and had another woman give H her clothes and tell him she had gone out the window. H followed her to a nightclub, where she was drunk and refused to return, so H had to carry her through the crowd. H met a new neighbor, Meghan O'Hara (played by Nancy Chambers, DJEs wife, the future "Singer") who said she was a reporter for a newspapers society column and tried to get "chummy." The king, who had been unhappy that H was "so young" when he first met, sat and talked with him after he retrieved her from the nightclub. The princess continued to flirt with and seduce H, appearing at his apartment one evening. Interpol was able to catch the assassin of the bodyguard and got names of his accomplices; namely, Vartan Kepish who was on the king's staff. Webb exposes Kepish and also said that the other assassin was a woman. The time came for the king to announce his intention for joining NATO and a military base, but he couldn't put his daughter at risk. Instead she got up and announced their intention. O'Hara, who was the assassin, had killed a maid and guards and was in the balcony behind a curtain with a rifle. H spotted the gun, pushed people out of the line of fire, and climbed to the balcony. O'Hara had the drop on him but hesitated killing him, so was shot by the secret service. H held her in his arms as she died. H was presented a "Romanian Medal" for his service to the crown.

Harriet was assigned to Norfolk & Bud was flummoxed. He made a date with her then stood her up due to a flat on a bridge without a spare. When he finally got to her she had accepted a date to the NATO ball with Ensign Nestor. B bumbled into asking someone from the office to the ball. M & H had to finagle to get them together at the dance.
