Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 7/31/02

Julian and Jamie try to get the scoop on a Matthew Sheppard-like murder in Nebraska. With Jamie otherwise occupied, Janet helps Ethan cover the raid of an immigrant sweatshop that utilizes child labor. I24's falling ratings prompt Jack to force Peter to get Bill a female co-anchor -- which Bill's contract and ego forbid. Janet's publicist, Lori, tells her that a powerful senator has a thing for her, and recommends she use him to her advantage. Peter hires Lloyd's replacement, Phil Milner, a demanding chronic complainer who's disgusted with his new surroundings. Jamie talks to the killer's lawyer, Benjamin Farmer, who insists it wasn't a straight-gay thing but a white-black thing (as both he and his client are black), and who wants I24 to pay for an interview. Ethan discovers that Jack and I24's attorney, Martin Peltz, are trying to kill the sweatshop piece because the network and the sweatshop are affiliated. The DA doesn't pursue hate crime charges, or even murder ones. Jamie begins to question being partnered with Julian (in more ways than one), and soon asks Rachel to assign her a new producer.moreless
