Miles suspends Murphy for her handling of an interview. So she leaves the office for two weeks and becomes miserable.

During an off week at FYI, Murphy & Corky co-anchor the network's morning show, and Murphy finds it's a job she just isn't made for. Murphy's new secretary has a passing resemblance to a ""dead"" celebrity.

To start a significant dialog, Murphy decides she will break the technicians' strike by bringing both sides together for cake and conversation.

While Murphy is throwing a birthday party for Gene Kinsella, Miles recognizes a woman he had a one-night stand with at a broadcaster's convention, Mrs. Kinsella. However, Kinsella thinks that his wife is having an affair with Frank.

A series of outrageous practical jokes, which start with a visit from ""Deep Throat,"" get out of hand.

Murphy changes her hairstyle to rebel against an appearance clause in her contract; the network's and the audience reaction is less than favorable.
