Now, our first order of business,

as most of you are already aware...

Lexy Gold was honored today

by The Daily Examiner,

which published

an article and photograph

she submitted to their

Junior Journalism section.

Let's give her a round of applause.

- All right.

- Yeah.

Your editor, Jack Downey,

would now like to say a few words.

I would?

Uh, I mean, yeah, I would.

Thank you, Mr. Goldblum. Uh...

I guess I'd just like to say

that we're all proud

when one of our own is able to make

their way onto a more visible platform.

Especially a colleague from one

of our, well, softer news areas.

So, congratulations, Lexy.

Today The Daily Examiner,

tomorrow The Post.

- Yeah, congratulations.

- Yeah.

- Goddess on the mountaintop.

- Thanks, Jen.

I'm gonna need your copy

if you want to make the next issue.

- This story's kind of old news.

- You know what, Jack?

I actually owe you a thank you.

It was because you

wouldn't run my story

that I sent it to The Daily

Examiner in the first place.

Ooh.

Gertrude, you startled me.

I need to talk to you.

What more

is there to say?

I just don't understand.

Don't talk so loud, okay?

L- I... I never...

I never meant to hurt you.

Oh, really?

Then what did you mean to do?

What changed?

We made all those plans.

Orlando, I love you.

Okay, well, I don't love you.

That's what's changed.

Can you understand that?

I guess I'm gonna have to try.

I'm sorry I ever met you.

If you think I'll continue

to pass you in these halls,

you're sadly mistaken.

One of us has to leave Millington,

and I assure you

it's not going to be me.

- Hi, Miss Dawson.

- Hi, Lexy.

Hey, you.

About ready for bed?

Yeah. I just have to finish

answering mail for my column.

There just aren't

enough hours in the day.

Sorry I missed dinner.

The press conference

I was covering ran long.

The mayor was asking state

legislators to increase aid

to city schools, and let's just

say things didn't go very well.

It's okay, Dad.

That sounds pretty important.

Well, not as important as you.

Bedtime.

- And how was your day?

- It was okay.

Hmm. I, um...

...read your article.

Nice job. It's well written.

You've got a good theme.

I'd call it a heartwarming

piece of journalism.

- Really?

- Absolutely.

Dad, have you ever

written something that,

I don't know, caused

something else to happen?

Sure. That's what journalism

is all about, and you'll get there.

This is good work, Lex.

You should be proud.

I'm proud.

I'm really proud. I just...

I want to write a hard news

piece, you know? Like you do.

You don't start with hard news. You work

your way up to it. That's what I did.

How?

Well, let's see. I was
