Paper Cuts
Leo, the head of business affairs and known as the Angel of Death, comes down to tell Kate to cut her operating costs by 5%. This is because of increased charges from the papers insurance company, caused by the number of lawsuits filed against the contents of Mike's columns. She works out that the only way she will be able to do this is to fire someone.
Getting over the Hemp

Alan gets a new mobile phone that he takes great pleasure in showing off to everyone. Before long though he begins to get frustrated with the continuous calls he keeps getting from his wife.
High Noon
Mike and Kate have an argument over editing his column down. Mike is so annoyed by this that he contacts the New York Times to try and get a job with them. He thinks that by doing this he will be able to force Kate's hand and get what he wants. Retaliating Kate gets in touch with Jack Stein, the other top columnist in New York, to try and see if she can persuade him to take over Mike's column.
The Sandwich
Mike gets a phone call telling him that he is being awarded a great honor, Sid's deli is naming a sandwich after him! He takes all his friends, and Kate, to the deli to try out 'his' sandwich. While there he is shown the man who bought the first ever 'Mike Logan' sandwich and Mike wants to have his photo taken with him. As this is about to happen the man suddenly chokes on the sandwich and dies, leading to headlines announcing the fact that 'Mike Logan kills a man'.
Mike & Kelly & Max & Kate
The paper is holding an advertisers party and Kate tells Mike that he has to go to it. He never has done and tells her that he never will. He goes to their boss Max to get out of going but this backfires when she flirts with Max to get him to agree with her instead.
United We Fall
The printers are in negotiations with the management in an attempt to avert a strike. The talks fail and the strike starts. Mike leads the reporters out with them and they protest outside the New York Sun building, demanding a better deal. Mike feels that he is doing his part to help the printers but is then hit by a dilemma. He is about to get the best story he has had for a long time, but unless he can get the printers back to work another paper may scoop him on it.
The Black Book
A high class madam is arrested and she comes to the paper with her black book, full of the names and numbers of her clients, many of whom are important people. This includes the DA who is prosecuting her and, much to Kate and Mike's surprise, Alan. Do they decide to go ahead with publishing this book and causing trouble for Alan or do they pass on it, knowing that she will probably sell it to another paper anyway?
