Anchor Chuck is now convinced that Kelly Carr's daughter Gracie is his and wants to step up as her father, but Kelly refuses him any access. Failing to care properly for the goldfish that the station gave "big fish in a small pond" Chuck makes him look irresponsible, so he demands that servile "boss" Ryan replace it. Meanwhile, the professional bumbling and "collegial" abuse continues, in Gary's case extremely painful in every sense.

Gracie's class visits the TV station. Ryan sees a younger version of himself in chubby nerd Brian, but gravely underestimates that kid. When classmate Xander Tucker seems to bully Gracie, Kelly first forbids Chuck to intervene 'too macho', then grossly abuses the knave herself, which causes well-deserved trouble, while the kids' story proves quite innocent. Gary wins a bet and learns about Marsh's soft spot, a poet reminding him of his dad. Stutterer Montana is professionally outclassed by a schoolgirl.

Yet once there, Chuck proves charming company, while Craig walks out because Kelly can't keep her eyes off Chuck.

On a very slow news day Ryan decides to pad the broadcast with human interest stories much to chuck's annoyance. During the argument Ryan receives a call about a bank robbery in progress and that the robber has taken hostages and wants Chuck to negotiate. Kelly reminds Chuck that he is a father now and doesn't want him to go but Chuck reminds her that he is a news man and will be OK.
