When he gets to work in the morning, Rob and his staff scramble to create scripts for The Mountainmen, while detectives snoop around LGT, investigating the disappearance of Kendall Gifford. Rob and his staff try to untangle the sticky web created by Sandra Cassandra's sexual harassment lawsuit against Casting VP Malcolm Laffley and LGT, and Parker Meridian's demand for a top-dollar renegotiation.
