It’s the penultimate episode of Season 1 of Sports Night, and we learn that Casey’s “plan” isn’t as much of a plan… or is it? Meanwhile the fellas can’t seem to find their pants, Dana confronts Gordon, and Jeremy can’t stop talking about blood. That all may sound a bit weird, but don’t worry, Lex and Brian have your back. Let’s go Sorkin’ In It.

Casey’s still mad that someone tried to blow up the building. Brian and Lex are mad because — no, they didn’t: It was a bomb threat hoax. There’s a difference, Casey. Meanwhile, Jeremy chases down a cricket story. Or a wicket story. We don’t understand it either. And Rebecca returns — only good things can follow, right? RIGHT?!

Casey and Dan can’t get over a bomb threat. Jeremy breaks up with Natalie, but it doesn’t take. And Dana gets pushed around by the suits in Isaac’s absence. Casey and Dan may be rattled, but Lex and Brian aren’t worried. We are here for you, dear listener, in your time of need.

The team is covering the sweet 16 and Bobbi Bernstein returns. She’s not the only one, because Rebecca’s “ex,” Steve Sisco, makes a surprise visit. The team is eagerly anticipating Isaac’s return, but they’re going to have to wait a little bit longer.

Finally, Casey has some very particular thoughts regarding cake, and your pals Lex and Brian don’t agree.

Jeremy gets some devastating news that’s eerily similar to news Sam Seaborn will get in a couple years in another universe. Dan is excited to watch a baseball game with Rebecca. Is the whole episode a home run worth watching? Brian and Lex are happy to tell you.

Jeremy’s writing to his sister, again. Dana’s fearful about losing Gordon, again. And an underdog is doing great, again — but this time, the Sports Night crew is mad at the athlete instead of supportive. Weird. Luckily, Brian and Lex are there to make sense of it all.

Gordon cancels plans with Dana. She mistakenly calls this getting stood up. Brian and Lex are annoyed by this. On the flip side, there’s a surprisingly intriguing subplot about Casey’s missing shirt. And since the episode is called “Sally”, you can bet there’s plenty of Sally, too. Yay?

Even when we like episodes, Brian can’t stand Sorkin’s titles. This is no exception. Dana’s going snorkeling, until she isn’t. We wonder if anyone truly LOVES snorkeling. Dan enlists Jeremy as the world’s unlikeliest wingman.

Teri Polo appears as Rebecca, and Dan is charmed (and so are we). She appears to be… less so. Everyone staff is worried about Isaac’s job, and no one at Sports Night can keep a secret. That’s a fact we told many, many people.

Casey and Dana become the absolute worst dates ever, and Dan is forced to cohost the show with a woman who hates him. On the plus side, Natalie gets the chance to shine, and Jeremy is — much like we are — quite impressed. But wow do find Casey and Dana difficult to like in this episode.
