Some Time, Some Station

Thanks a Lottery!
After Mr. Eldridge reveals a winning lottery ticket, he must decide what to use it for; Betty is tasked with cutting costs at WENN, with Mr. Eldridge's position on the cutting block; Hilary continues to give Jeffrey the cold shoulder.
You've Met Your Match
When the station runs a dating contest where the staff members are randomly paired, Hilary schemes to rig the contest so that she does not get paired with Jeffrey.
And If I Die Before I Sleep
Can WENN beat radio station WTN in Philadelphia's record by staying on the air nonstop for three days? And with no sleep? You can certainly bet they're going to try! Witness the breakdown of coherent speech, the ability to sleep sideways on a stool, the genius of ping pong balls and india ink, and why Eugenia Bremer needs her morning cup of coffee.
Hilary's Agent
Antony and Cleopatra have found their way to Pittsburgh and Hilary wants the title role! Unfortunately, her agent Wilbur (although he calls himself Brian), has neglected to see to Hilary's best interests in securing the part for her. So she decides to take matters into her own hands. Enter the creation of Doris Snithing (Snively). Will Hilary manage to not only get back to Broadway but get herself a spectacular new agent? Or will her sudden case of multiple personalities backfire?
Birth of a Station
Proof once again that if you're waitressing in a roadhouse, never fall for the man who delivers oranges and grapefruits. When Pittsburgh is shut down due to a strike, the WENN crew gets a real emergency on their hands with a woman arriving to see Dr. Talbot. Which would be great except that Dr. Talbot is a character on one of their shows and Cora is about to have a baby. Will the ambulance get there on time? Or will all of Pittsburgh share in welcoming a new little miracle?
The Follies of WENN
As if the Winthrop brothers haven't had enough of WENN. Luke Winthrop pleads his case before Betty and Scott that his school is in dire need of one thousand dollars or it will be forced to close. What to do? Put on a burlesque show, of course. Maple, Eugenia, and Betty get their own solo numbers, Hilary gets to hold an audience in the palm of her hand...or glove, and Scott and Jeff do a comedy routine. Unfortunately, all this is taking place while certain residents of the Barbican Hotel for Women (Betty and Maple) are under scrutiny and if they're caught, they might lose their rooms. The surprise twist at the end is worth being raided for.
Pratfall
With the Golden Lobe Awards approaching, Jeffrey and Scott are competing against each other while Hilary must find the staff member who will cast the deciding vote for her award.
Work Shift
With the offer of a possible reward from a wealthy philosopher and author, the staff decide to switch positions for a day.
Past Tense, Future Imperfect
With her relationship with Victor now fleeting, Betty sits down with Maple and recalls her first days at the station.
The Sunset Also Rises
With the advent of television, Gertie pitches a script to Betty. However, the rest of the staff chimes in and has different ideas about how the plot should unfold.
At Cross Purposes
With a process server in the building, members of the staff cross dress in order to avoid detection and protect Jeffrey from being served a summons for abandoning his overseas wife.
All's Noisy on the Pittsburgh Front
Following the Pearl Harbor bombing, the male staff members consider enlisting. Hilary objects to Jeffrey's enlistment while Scott uses enlistment as an attempt to seduce Betty.
