In an attempt to entertain herself, Mary playfully crafts a funny obituary for someone listed in the WJM-TV files. Unexpectedly, the individual passes away the very next day, and the obituary ends up being broadcasted on air. This puts Lou in a difficult position, leading him to suspend Mary. In defiance, she responds by threatening to resign from her job.
