This is Like Sleepless in Seattle, but not at all Like Sleepless in Seattle

Season 5, Episode 7

Jennifer is still covering the never-ending NYC Blackout in 1977, while also bringing the Gino and Carrie stories up through the 1950s. Murder! Mob hits gone wrong! Kidnapping! New Identities! Casinos!

Jen rolls her eyes at art students who present cardboard from the garbage as their latest masterpiece. Dana is outraged at a historic rich woman's (REAL!) cat costume and proclaims that you have too much money if you show up at a party with a Maine Coon on your head.

The girls imagine what it must have been like to be in a mafia staff meeting - did the mob bosses use an overhead projector? Was it a weekly staff meeting? Were there donuts?
