    #1 - Patterns (2nd Version)

    S8:E20

    The original presentation received such extensive praise, the same production crew and cast were hired for a highly unusual repeat live performance, thus becoming the first live drama in television history to be broadcast twice due to popularity. Both shows were performed and broadcast live. Fred Staples is the newest executive in a large firm. He strikes up a friendship with Andy Sloane, the Vice President to whom he nominally reports. Staples is good at his job and the company's hard-nosed president, Walter Ramsey, is pleased with his choice. Staples has a crisis of conscience when Ramsey tells him that he's been recruited to replace Sloane, someone who has devoted his entire life to the company at the expense of his family. Sloane knows what Ramsey is up to but digs in his heels and refuses to quit. Tragedy ensues forcing Staples to make a choice.
