Summaries

  • Johnny's apartment is being fumigated and he needs a place to stay. Everyone turns him down except for Bailey. Rumors start at the office that they are having an affair. Johnny is also afraid the new DJ will take over his radio time slot.
  • In the process of Johnny being flatly turned down by all the male co-workers he asks for a place to crash for a few days while his own apartment is being fumigated, Bailey gladly allows Johnny to stay with her. And in the process of Johnny asking for a day off, Andy instead suggests that he take the whole week off to recharge his juices, with Rex Erhardt, the midday DJ, asked to fill in Johnny's regular morning time slot and Bailey further gladly allowing Johnny to stay with her the entire week so that he indeed can treat the week like a vacation. These two items lead to a number of issues. While nothing sexually is going on between Johnny and Bailey - although Johnny would gladly oblige if Bailey asked - salacious gossip easily flows at the station about Bailey and Johnny, which Bailey does not appreciate and which may inadvertently affect how any of her superiors, whether it be Andy, Mr. Carlson or Herb, treats her professionally. And paranoid Johnny believes that Andy has the ulterior motive of giving him, as the old man past his prime, the week off to test Rex in his time slot in Andy's ultimate goal of either firing him, or worse giving him the least desirable Sunday morning time slot.—Huggo
