Mary's aunt, Flo Meredith, arguably the most renowned and well respected newspaperwoman in the country, is in Minneapolis to cover a murder trial. Mary loves and respects her Aunt Flo. By reputation, all those in the WJM newsroom also respect Flo Meredith, the newspaperwoman. That's why Mary is so disappointed when Lou and her Aunt Flo don't hit it off when they meet, as Flo's larger than life persona and attitude is too much for Lou to handle. Mary, believing that they just got off on the wrong foot, does whatever she can to foster a positive relationship between the two newspeople she respects the most, which includes inviting them both to her place for dinner. Will Mary's dinner party for three have the result that she wants?
