Much to Neil's delight as a high profile measure to improve life in the city, he has just opened the Innovation Center - "I" - staffed by a group of millennials who Mikaela and Tommy in particular see as a welcome addition in being a like minded part of their generation. Despite being a progressive, Arpi, on the other hand, sees it all as a waste of taxpayer money. Things take a turn when James, lead of the I-Team, tells them that innovation starts from within, and as such I-Team members will be shadowing Neil, Arpi, Mikaela, Tommy and Jayden among other senior staff to see how they can innovate at City Hall itself. Mikaela in particular can see through the jargon to understand the true purpose for the shadowing, she, as Neil's Chief of Staff, who does whatever she needs to to protect the office as she knows it. In believing it solely an imposition on her work life, Arpi makes it her mission to evade her shadow. And Neil's shadow will be following him and Orly to the DMV as she long ago made an appointment to take her learner's written test, which requires the presence of a guardian. In Orly's over-analysis of the situation, Arpi will demonstrate why she doesn't need anyone to tell her how to innovate.
