Overview
Case Blackwell returns from illness to a gutted newsroom, drafting cousin Jace Lanfill as producer while half the staff remains ‘sick.’ The broadcast dissects the Trump–Zelensky Oval Office shouting match, stages a prank call with a Russian ‘Zalnova,’ runs an Amongst the Web session with a combative Crum, and stages a Munch & Crum debate on diplomatic yelling that the Rock-afire gorilla judges in Munch’s favor. The night closes with cousin Trent hosting a trailer watch party, the debut of needle-reusing network physician Dr. Brisket, and DJ Newsic’s musical rapid-fire headlines before Crum whispers a cat apology while quietly insulting his gorilla creditor.
