Love It or Leave It, Change It or Lose It

Kevin is directing ""The Proud Land"", a western that features a clash in values between an older rancher and a young lawyer. Cast in the roles are Jim Grange, a venerable western star, and Justin Willemann, one of the new breed of Hollywood actors. Just as their characters clash on-screen, Grange and Willemann clash personally: One of their heated topics is their differing opinions of the VietNam war. Their disagreement finally erupts in a fist fight, and threatens the future of the film. Bracken and Kevin both work to mend the rift, but it takes a visit to a veteran's hospital to cause the two actors to realize that their feud is inappropriate.

Murder, Off Camera

Marjorie Grant is at home, preparing a romantic dinner for her husband, Kevin. He is still at the studio, running late as usual. He is detained by Diane Waring, who invites him into her dressing room for a drink. They wind up kissing, but Diane pulls away and sends him home to his wife. When Kevin arrives home, he finds Marjorie in the living room, dead from a blow to her head. His 9 year old son, Mark, is missing. The police investigation centers on a hippie couple who are found with the young boy. Kevin permits the couple to spend time at his home, hoping he will learn something that will prove them to be the killers. Ultimately it is determined that the hippies are not the killers; the culprit is the nephew of the housekeeper, who was trying to burglarize the home. Guest Starring: Stuart Whitman as Lt.

Jenny, Who Bombs Buildings

Century Pictures is filming a documentary about Jenny March, a young activist who believes that violence is the appropriate protest for society's ills. She is released on bond after bombing a bank, and the documentary is her opportunity to explain her unconventional views. Kevin is directing the film and John Bracken is serving as the narrator. Jenny develops a crush on Kevin, but threatens to leave the picture when Rachel leads her to believe that the studio really plans a fictional approach, with an actress playing the lead. During her anger with the studio, Jenny is reunited with one of her activist friends, and together they plan another bombing. Kevin tries to convince Jenny that she should refrain from criminal behavior, even to the point of romancing her; Jenny admits that she would succumb if Kevin really loved her, but when he admits that his feelings are only concern for her welfare, Jenny leaves him to join her activist friend, and is killed in a botched bombing.

Stage and screen actress Maggie Morgan agrees to work on a tv series ""Crisis Clinic."" She torments the cast and crew with her temperamental outbursts, so Bracken recruits Kevin to get the series back on track. Things go relatively well until a cast party when Kevin offers Maggie a glass of vodka. Unwilling to admit that she is an alcoholic, Maggie accepts the drink, then fails to show up the next morning on the set because she has fallen off the wagon. The basis for her alcoholism seems to be the loss of the custody of her young son in a recent divorce. The only person who can reach Maggie is Jyl Symington, a former actress and Alcoholic Anonymous pal. Kevin and John recruit Jyl to sober Maggie up; Jyl threatens Maggie that she too will return to alcohol if Maggie doesn't sober up. Maggie is touched by Jyl's sincerity and returns to the set, sober and ready to work. The series is an ultimate success and Maggie is once again a sought after actress. Note: Guest Stars: Janet Leigh

The Nude Scene

Century Studio is producing ""A Time for Love"", a drama about a disintegrating marriage. Bracken and Kevin agree on the casting: Eva Sanders in the female lead; Paul Sims as the male. Neither have performed a nude scene, which is part of the plot. Eva agonizes over the effect the scene will have on her marriage and children; Sims is concerned about his physical appearance on-screen as a middle aged man. When the time comes to perform the scene, Paul is ready but Eva is reluctant. At first she pleads with Kevin to change the scene, but eventually decides to play the scene as written. The story features the whole studio discussing the relative merits of nudity on-screen, but all agree in the end that the story justifies the nudity.

Forged in Fire

Forged in Fire features world-class bladesmiths competing against each other to create some of the most iconic edged weapons from history. In each episode, four of the best bladesmiths in the country will come together to put both their skills and reputations on the line. Whether they are making a Japanese katana, a medieval broadsword, or an ancient throwing blade like the chakram, the weapons they forge will be fully functional and lethal works of art and war. The unique histories contained within each weapon will be creatively told during the forging process and the final weapons themselves will be assessed and ruthlessly tested by our panel of expert judges. These dynamic and explosive tests will be individually designed to push the weapons to their absolute limit. One by one, the bladesmiths will be eliminated until only one remains to be crowned the champion.
