Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 7/17/02

An avalanche in Colorado believed to have buried the vice president forces the I24 team to drop their plans to be first on the scene. Julian mixes business with pleasure and proposes to Jamie, who accepts, then regrets it. Mel argues with Madeline that their son, Russell, never gets to spend time with either parent, as they both work. For her first project, Peter pairs up new intern Lauren Sabusawa with their vendetta-seeking head of consumer affairs, Lloyd Fuchs, on an SOY field assignment regarding recliners. Bill is angry to hear the network's 18-49 female bracket hasn't met expectations, except when Janet is on screen. Janet uses the avalanche to sweettalk Peter into giving her something substantial. Peter and Rachel feel guilty when I24's VP Richard Sloan -- who would have been on vacation with his family had Peter not called -- is killed in a car accident on his way to work. A source tips the team off that the VP went up to Colorado to cheat on his wife with a would-be actress -- and has the video to prove it. I24 are first to report that the VP died, burying the affair angle in the process.moreless
