When the rival news station's dashing young news anchor asks Kelly out on a date, Chuck cannot help but wonder if the anchor has ulterior motives. Thinking that he is trying to steal Kelly from WURG to work for his own station, Chuck butts in to tell him to back off. However, it may be Chuck who needs to back off and accept that someone may be interested in Kelly for reasons other than business. Meanwhile, Gary is assigned to cover a convention for people who wear animal costumes, and Marsh experiments with some original sign-off lines.
