After hearing some of his old friends, who used to work at WURG, talking about him getting fired in Los Angeles, Chuck tries to prove he's still got what it takes to be a big network anchor. As the night's lead story continues to change, Chuck and Kelly argue over who will be taking the lead story, Chuck knowing his old friends will be watching the broadcast. Kelly finally ends up giving the lead story to Chuck, but unknown to his knowledge, the victim of the bear attack, which was the lead story, has a helium sounding voice.
