Charlie receives a call from an anonymous source at the beginning of the episode on Will's balcony, and under the pseudonym of "Deep Throat"(previously used during the Watergate era by former Associate Director of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Mark Felt), which is later changed to "Late for Dinner", informs him that he'll be receiving an email from the White House press secretary telling him "to get to work". "Late for Dinner" claims to be trying to establishing his credibility which Charlie finds preposterous, but nonetheless is later seen to be slightly bothered and worried about the credibility of the source, which had told him that the email will be sent at eastern 9PM.
Charlie later rejoins the party the newsroom staff were having in Will's house to celebrate the one-year anniversary of News Night 2.0, where Will was sabotaged into making a short (and humorous) speech by Mackenzie. The staff is later seen to be playing a game of charades (Neal), beer bar games, individual chess (Gary) and guitar jamming (Will and Jim as Maggie watches on), while Charlie is seen to be pacing around and checking the time.
•The episode drew 1.76 million viewers.
