Jim is hired away by a hot US morning show in New York City where he bites off more than he can chew of the Big Apple and is soon escorted out of the country by the authorities.

George fails a Kafeaesque job evaluation in ways he never could have imagined. A valued veteran newsroom employee dies. George's empathy is qualified.

A sniper kills again. A dog dies in the office, a power lunch goes wrong and George regrets ever having used the handicapped washroom.

George's dream date is just that: nothing more than a dream. The intelligent segment producer Karen (Karen Hines) dumbs herself down for sex and Jim (Peter Keleghan) makes a book deal.

George (Ken Finkleman) hires a temp from an old established WASP family thinking that connections will pay off. When they don't, it's George that pays.
