Jim gets abducted while taping a feel-good pet segment in war-torn Afghanistan, and George is on the shortlist for the Order of Canada.

George and his staff of segment producers have a sudden interest in producing sitcoms - at $50,000 per episode all they need is one dumb idea.

Media tycoon Conrad Scott (Doug Lennox) visits the newsroom and is offered a life-changing gristly steak.

George is asked to lecture at the local university and, thanks to a bit of charm and a stolen thesis, wows the class enough to hold 'office hours'; with a very attractive, very young student, Lolita.

George's therapist falls into a coma after suggesting that George has latent homosexual tendencies.

It is the end of the world in all dimensions.
