Effective little drama that works well overall. Murray receives an offer from another station as news producer. Lou convinces him to stay by making him co-producer, without consulting Mary. Mary hates the idea but can't tell Murray that so goes along with it. An indecisive and overly cooperative Murray soon turns everything into a muddle.
The funniest part is the mixed-up film for Sue Ann's restaurant segment. It's a pretty obvious comedy bit, but it works. The worst part is the horrible scene where Ted (who has developed into a much nicer person in recent seasons) goes on an aggressive diatribe about 'chicks taking over the world'. It plays like a desperate move where the episode underrun so they tapped out an archetypal 'Ted acting crazy' scene. Trouble is this is the season 1-2 Ted not the Ted that he has recently developed into. Also it isn't funny.
While it is presented as a comedy gag that Lou plays both Murray and Mary to get them to come around to his idea on their own, in reality Lou has both done Murray out of a great job with the competitor, then sent Mary the message he's happy to move her back to assistant producer. The assistant producer bit was a trick to make Murray willingly give up the job, but in reality the person in Mary's position wouldn't forget that in a hurry.
