Why this must be read:
CSC has been sold and Dan has moved to LA, only LA isn't quite as he expected it to be. His show is doing okay but his new apartment unnerves him, he hasn't met any Laker Girls and his car is about to divorce him.
Back in New York, Casey is puttering around in his post-Sports Night life, making Charlie inedible sandwiches and writing a column for a magazine. He says he's taking a break from TV and he'll go back when he's ready, whenever that may be.
Meanwhile Natalie and Jeremy are taking their relationship to a very significant level. This inadvertently leads Dan and Casey to the realisation that they're not at all sure what they really need.
In this is a wonderfully understated story, Pearl-O has given us a portrait of two guys who are attempting to move on but are still too attached to their old lives to fully let go. It's not enough just to live day to day. There really is more to life than Laker Girls and sports. But are Dan and Casey ready to face this fact?
There's a lot going on between the lines in this story and it posses a level of humour and pathos that is so very Sorkin you almost expect it to have been written by the man himself. Pearl-O obviously has a great affinity for the characters and she has a good ear for the often complex language style used in his shows. I'm not sure if she's written any more Sports Night stories, but I certainly hope this isn't her last.
