"Won't Someone Please Help George Bailey Tonight" --
Personal and professional distress in the wake of the Atlantor investigation begins to take a toll on Rick (Billy Campbell).

For starters, he's grilled by a pushy talk-show host over his alleged involvement in business illegalities. Later, pressing financial and career anxieties precipitate a clash with Lily (Sela Ward); a climactic, angry showdown with Miles (David Clennon); and a chilling reflection. In a dramatic "interview" sequence, Rick recalls his father's death of a heart attack. "He died so suddenly and...his affairs were a mess. He basically left us nothing. He was 44 years old. I'm 43." Robert: Brett Cullen. Amanda: Christina Chang. Mason Gould: Don McManus.
