[edit] Plot
Instead of going to multiple time periods in one person's life, Dan continues to travel back in time to the same day: the day of the Game Three Earthquake. Several times during the episode he encounters a suicidal lawyer. The man is deep debt from a gambling addiction. Dan eventually learns that the man committed suicide two days after the earthquake. Dan confronts the man about his addiction. Dan tells him about his own addiction just as the earthquake occurs. The lawyer is almost killed in a building collapse. The shock of nearly dying gives him a new reason to live. Dan learns in the present time that the lawyer is a major crusader for the wrongly incarcerated.
[edit] Present
Dan has a deadline for a major story. His editor is pressuring him to work only on his assignment. Dan decides to help his editor by trying to prevent his editor's sister from dying in the Cypress Viaduct collapse. He fails to prevent her death but learns that the death was the reason that his editor overcame his alcoholism.
[edit] Note
This is the first episode that stays in the same date for all of Dan's travels.
