Sue Ann keeps working at the station, but in various unpleasant jobs, including voice overs with a cigar smoking jerk and a kids show with spiteful puppets. Mary is furious that the only reason she was given this role is that Lou didn't have the courage to face Sue Ann.

The boot is on the other foot

OK episode. Sue Ann's show is cancelled. She can work out her contract at WJM, but is unhappy with the demeaning roles she's given.
Lou gives Mary 'responsibility' for hiring, forcing her to deal with Sue Ann who wants to come work in the newsroom.
Ends with a poignant 'looking back' scene. It was good but would have worked better if there weren't so many of them in this final season.

A great play on the characters, plus Prima Donna puppets

Just watched this and busted out laughing as much as the first time I saw it. Lou being a softie at heart when it comes to Sue Ann, and knowing how to manipulate Mary. Mary's recognition of manipulation, and getting a spine. The miseries lined up for Sue Ann, and best of all the Prima Donna bunny puppets, and Lou checking them. Pure comedy perfection.
