Rossi finally gets an episode more or less to himself here. Goaded by Lou Grant for being to disconnected from his stories, Rossi checks himself into a mental health facility to find out how inmates are treated. He then discovers that it's a lot easier to check in than out.
Larry Hankin (who played Kramer in the "Jerry" pilot episode of "Seinfeld") has a fairly large role here. He plays one of the inmates who is too doped up to think clearly, but has some good insights into the lives of the inmates.
Another trivia bit: Rossi checks himself in as "Carl Woodward," an obvious tip of the hat to Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward ("All the President's Men").
