- The magazine has a new majority stockholder, Cynthia Drummond-Randolph, or "Cissy" as she is known to her friends. She's beautiful, stylish, wealthy, philanthropic, conservative and everyone at the magazine is nervous about meeting her. The only person who isn't nervous about meeting her is Norman, who has a chance encounter with this beautiful woman without knowing who she is. Norman is not exactly her type, both in a personal and professional sense, as she does not trust or understand free spirits such as him. After touring the operation, she not only recommends, but orders Tom to outsource photographic services, which in essence means firing Norman. Tom, although realizes he cannot fight her through official channels since she controls the Board of Directors and can manipulate the stockholders, does the only thing he can do to support Norman: if Norman goes, Tom goes. Eddie supports Tom's decision, but Tina and Mrs. Livingston thinks it's a mistake. Norman wants to make it easy for Tom by quitting. It seems that Cissy has won this battle as Tom decides to stay, that is until Cissy implies that the real reason for her decision is not a financial one, but a personal dislike for Norman's type. Tom again decides to quit as for him, this battle is all about freedom. Tom's direct comments to Cissy initially offend her, but she later realizes that he may be right. She herself needs to have a little more freedom in her life, and she's willing to retain the status quo at the magazine until she figures out if freedom is really all it's cracked up to be.—Huggo
