Synopsis by Hal Erickson
After tersely informing the "FYI" newsroom that the new fax machine is not to be used for personal messages, an embarrassed Miles (Grant Shaud) receives a faxed love letter from a "Ms. X." Taking it upon herself to be Miles' "Cyrano", Murphy (Candice Bergen signs Miles' name to a return fax that is every bit as romantic, if not more so. If only she'd informed Miles of her "favor." In addition to a pre-Desperate Housewives appearance by Teri Hatcher, this episode also features a very funny "Dan Quayle" joke--and this before the Vice President had even said "boo" about Murphy Brown.
