But the next day Margo is not quite willing to believe that's all that happened.

Deciding to go after the new investigative reporter position Jack has created, Susan reluctantly seeks professional advice from her old high school rival Maddy Piper, now an established and aggressive journalist - who quickly infiltrates Susan's professional and personal lives by double-crossing her, getting the story and the job, and displaying considerable interest in Jack.
