To deal with his growing paranoia, Terry attempts to self-medicate. That night, things get hostile at KSB AM when a former MK Ultra fan takes Terry hostage on the air.
When Terry wakes up in Dr. Lizzie's bed, things get awkward. Later, when Terry meets Jason Reitman, who wants to make Terry's screenplay, Terry threatens to give up the radio show to pursue a life of Hollywood fame.
Terry realizes the key to what happened to his possibly dead wife may be held by someone from his past who has trouble communicating. He enlists his psychic colleague Veronica to help uncover the truth about what Annabelle witnessed.

After being fired for his involvement in the shootout at a Mexican restaurant, Terry confronts his tormentors, and is hauled off to the Washburn Pines sanatorium. But an unlikely ally comes to his rescue - or does he?
While Terry is "in the hospital", Jeet plays previously unheard calls from the Dark Air vault (which isn't in a vault, more like a box of tapes on the top shelf in the supply closet) featuring Terry's old audio engineer, Reginald.
Terry is back at the mic. Or IS he? Jeet gets a call from Terry's old intern / frenemy (minus the "fr") Wes Poppovitz who threatens to expose him. Complicating matters, Future Terry calls in and messes up the time-space continuum.
