Episode Overview
Della successfully brings Dominic Foy back to the hotel for a follow-up interview. Meanwhile, Stephen Collins listens in from the adjacent room, using a hidden microphone to guide Della's questions. When Foy reveals that Sonia was pregnant and claims Collins didn’t care about her, Stephen bursts into Foy's room and violently confronts him. Foy ends up in the hospital. Greer informs Cal that George Fergus had persuaded her to hire Sonia Baker, despite her lacking the qualifications of other candidates. Cameron has a story ready but faces censorship from U-Ex oil and Westminster, leading him to publish brief headlines instead. Consequently, The Herald assigns a new editor to handle the headlines. Cameron, with Della as a witness, presents a document to Cal, asserting that he will retain the copyright for the final article.
