Dennis knows he's on to a story when he learns that residents of The Latitude Lofts, a building owned and occupied by an artists' co-operative, are afflicted by fibromyalgia. But his probing is met with resistance - from the co-op members who have already sunk their savings into the building; and from his new senior producer, Kennedy Marsh, who considers the premise as dated as the ""yuppie flu"". Kennedy's criticism further incites Dennis, who is already upset that he was passed over for the senior position in favour of this young upstart - a ""virtual VJ"" - from a popular tabloid show.

There's a mess of personal and professional tension when a young boss, Kennedy Marsh, is brought in to jazz up the show, do snappier stories and attract a younger audience. She used to produce a tabloid-TV program and everybody is suspicious and resentful of her. The thing is, Kennedy Marsh is a tall, blond drink of water and there is quiet, almost-sexual tension between her and the dead-serious Dennis.

A highly-charged story about air rage turns into a brouhaha between Kamal and Deaton as each tries to exert his own spin on the issue. Kamal and Deaton have been trapped in a plane for nearly two hours while the pilot waits for ramp attendants for the jetway. Suddenly, one of the passengers, Ross Glatt, flies into an uncontrollable rage. Flight attendant Cheryl Pittis tries to calm him, but Glatt is out of control. Then Kamal notices a passenger catching the spectacle on a handicam, and his instincts tell him this will be great news footage. Glatt - a professional cellist as it turns out - is finally overcome by a fellow passenger, and about to be sedated when the Emergency Response Team storms the plane. All this, Deaton remarks, for what turned out to be plain old-fashioned air rage. Kamal is just thankful the incident happened while they were on the ground. Otherwise, they might have had fighter jets preparing to shoot them down.

In the existing climate of post-Sept. 11, the newsm

Isobel struggles to uncover the true motives behind an environmental group's fight to save a contentious piece of land.

The brains of a top CSIS agent are splattered all over the windshield of his car and speculation is running high on whether it was suicide or murder. Some say George Barkin was being forced into retirement so he committed suicide; others whisper that he was setting up ""business relationships"" in China; or that he was a double agent. But whatever the reason for his demise, there's bound to be a media frenzy around the incident - and The Eleventh Hour wants to be the first ones in.

At the centre of all the controversy is a young woman named Lyn Sing, a Chinese citizen who's been working at the Embassy, and who is somehow linked with the now notorious CSIS officer. Maybe Sing's just a damsel in distress; maybe she was part of Barkin's espionage activities; or maybe even a suspect in his death. Megan wants an exclusive with this 'woman of the hour', but Donohue's instincts tell him that with all the news outlets clamoring for her, Sing will end up in the driver's seat, dictating her demand
