- When Hilary is slated to star in a Broadway play, she clashes with Jeffrey and the writer over whether it should be a comedy or drama; Betty starts to investigate Scott after Victor's revelation.
- Just when Hilary Booth (Melinda Mullins) is particularly frustrated at being consigned to the backwaters of Pittsburgh radio, her old mentor sends her young writer Euripides Moss (Harry Hamlin), who has a new play for her and her husband Jeff Singer (Hugh O'Gorman). Feeling an opportunity to get back to Broadway, she suggests to her sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Sweet (Louie Zorich, Peggy Cass) that they might finance the play, to which they agree enthusiastically, but insist on a local tryout. Hilary decides to broadcast the tryout on WENN and appoints Mr. Foley (Tom Beckett) director. In rehearsal, Jeff and HIlary disagree on whether to play it with comedy or as a straight drama, and the Sweets confuse things further by strongly urging each of them in the opposite direction, so that when the on-air performance comes, it becomes an incoherent mess. Moss bursts into the studio demanding that they play it one way or the other, and when they can't decide, he puts it to a vote. Mr. Foley is about to cast the tie-breaking vote when Gertie (Margaret Hall) enters the studio to say that Pittsburgh has called to vote --that the show be canceled. Moss gets a job writing the Sweets' hardware catalog, and Jeff and Hilary exchange sweet nothings.
