Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Once again, Murphy (Candice Bergen) lets her temper get the better of her during a TV interview, which ends when she storms off the set and leaves her guest--a prominent military officer--hanging in the lurch. Finally building up the gumption to put his foot down, producer Miles (Grant Shaud) suspends Murphy and orders her to spend two weeks resting up at home. The situation reaches the crisis stage when network executive Eugene Kinsella (Alan Oppenheimer, in his first series appearances) begins dropping "subtle" hints that perhaps Miles overreacted...but by this time, Murphy may not be all that keen about returning to work.
