Plot

Isaac (Robert Guillaume) and Dana (Felicity Huffman) begin to understand the precariousness of Sports Night's survival when the network axes the budget for the show's Olympic coverage. This development not only decimates the expected amount of coverage for the event, but also hints that some staff positions are in jeopardy of being eliminated -- leaving Dana anxious knowing that Natalie (Sabrina Lloyd) would be the first casualty. Still smarting after the end of his very short-term fling with a porn star named Jenny, Jeremy (Joshua Malina) finally comes clean to Natalie about Jenny's profession after Natalie starts picking on him regarding the breakup. Meanwhile, Dan (Josh Charles) begins to realize how much of an ass he has been toward Casey (Peter Krause) and begins to attempt to make amends while working with Jeremy to put on a Passover Seder that has an unexpectedly unifying effect on everyone. ~ Ryan Shriver, All Movie Guide
