Jennifer takes over the Spectator, impressing Hawk. Dan offers her an info‑tainment show, and her first story involves a personal ad from a mother seeking a daughter born November 14, 1972—a date that unsettles her.
Tanner confronts Ginger about her past as showgirl Genevieve. She denies it but privately studies a clipping about a showgirl tied to an heir’s death, remembering a clash with Howard over someone named Rusty. Brian questions her about Tanner; she brushes it off.
Molly moves into Julie’s penthouse and is praised for her heroism. Tanner promises to distance himself from Ginger. Her birthday party is planned, with Jennifer and Hawk invited.
Howard orders the personal ad reprinted with a black border so “the birthday girl” will see it. Molly reads it and tells Julie she thinks her mother may still be alive.
