While some people might be scared of Murphy Brown while she's aggressive or angry, when she becomes too afraid to confront controversial topics on her new show, she becomes very scary to her fellow staff members. It all starts when during a very aggressive interview, the person she's questioning drops dead on the air, causing her to rethink her tactics. the staff would rather see her firing secretaries then bringing in Girl scout cookies and passing them out, and when she gets going on another aggressive interview, when her subject begins to cost, she becomes concerned again and ends up in a hysterical therapy session. We already know that Murphy's tough, but she's also a very private person so therapy may not be the best thing for her even if she went through alcohol rehab. More great writing and another excellent performance by the terrific Candice Bergen, the surprise sitcom star of the 1988/89 season.
