With a title like âLouise Revisitedâ, Sorkin fans may think this is another âJeremy narrates the episodeâ trope, but Lex and Brian are relieved to find out thatâs not the case. Instead we have a silly subplot about a âWhoâs cooler, Dan or Caseyâ online poll and way too much time spent dwelling on undergarments. This may sound like a bit of a mess, but not to worry, Lex and Brian are here to help you Sorkinâ in It (and theyâre both wearing underwear).

Rumors abound: Is the network bringing in a ratings consultant? Not exactlyâIsaac is. Danaâs enforcing her terrible dating rule, Dan is reckoning with it, and the new guy at the show is⊠intimidating. Especially his mustache. Thereâs a lot to process. Thatâs why Brian and Lex are here.

Lex and Brian donât know if women have special powers, but maybe Aaron Sorkin does. Season two of Sports Night kicks off with a killer montage as Casey tries to work up the courage to ask Dana out. Jeremy and Natalie are fighting. Isaacâs back. Thereâs a lot to unpack - and a lot to love. Youâre listening to Sorkinâ In It on the Incomparable podcast network, so stick around.

Itâs the first time Sorkin named an episode of television âWhat Kind of Day Has It Been.â Luckily, thatâs not the most memorable part of the episode, either. Brian and Lex agree this COULD have served as a SERIES finale if necessary, but luckily, it didnât. Casey interacts with his son; Dana interacts with her camera. And weâre there, along with you, as we blissfully Sorkinâ in it all.

Itâs the penultimate episode of Season 1 of Sports Night, and we learn that Caseyâs âplanâ isnât as much of a plan⊠or is it? Meanwhile the fellas canât seem to find their pants, Dana confronts Gordon, and Jeremy canât stop talking about blood. That all may sound a bit weird, but donât worry, Lex and Brian have your back. Letâs go Sorkinâ In It.

Caseyâs still mad that someone tried to blow up the building. Brian and Lex are mad because â no, they didnât: It was a bomb threat hoax. Thereâs a difference, Casey. Meanwhile, Jeremy chases down a cricket story. Or a wicket story. We donât understand it either. And Rebecca returns â only good things can follow, right? RIGHT?!

Casey and Dan canât get over a bomb threat. Jeremy breaks up with Natalie, but it doesnât take. And Dana gets pushed around by the suits in Isaacâs absence. Casey and Dan may be rattled, but Lex and Brian arenât worried. We are here for you, dear listener, in your time of need.

The team is covering the sweet 16 and Bobbi Bernstein returns. Sheâs not the only one, because Rebeccaâs âex,â Steve Sisco, makes a surprise visit. The team is eagerly anticipating Isaacâs return, but theyâre going to have to wait a little bit longer. Finally, Casey has some very particular thoughts regarding cake, and your pals Lex and Brian donât agree.

Jeremyâs writing to his sister, again. Danaâs fearful about losing Gordon, again. And an underdog is doing great, again â but this time, the Sports Night crew is mad at the athlete instead of supportive. Weird. Luckily, Brian and Lex are there to make sense of it all.

Gordon cancels plans with Dana. She mistakenly calls this getting stood up. Brian and Lex are annoyed by this. On the flip side, thereâs a surprisingly intriguing subplot about Caseyâs missing shirt. And since the episode is called âSallyâ, you can bet thereâs plenty of Sally, too. Yay?

Teri Polo appears as Rebecca, and Dan is charmed (and so are we). She appears to be⊠less so. Everyone staff is worried about Isaacâs job, and no one at Sports Night can keep a secret. Thatâs a fact we told many, many people.

-
Casey and Dana become the absolute worst dates ever, and Dan is forced to cohost the show with a woman who hates him. On the plus side, Natalie gets the chance to shine, and Jeremy is â much like we are â quite impressed. But wow do find Casey and Dana difficult to like in this episode.

-
Dan thinks itâs time for Casey to âget back out there.â Just as long as thereâs no flirting with Sally. Meanwhile, Dana canât keep Isaacâs secret, and Jeremy gets one of the funniest lines in the whole series. Brian and Lex are there to laugh⊠and Sorkinâ In It. P.S. Go Birds!

Dan is desperate for Isaac to step up and encourage the president of the network to fight racism. Youâll never guess whether Isaac steps up. (Spoiler alert: He does.) Also, Donna Moss appears in a storyline thatâs good with an execution thatâs less good. Our thanks to Brian Warren, Lex Friedman, and the whole Sorkinâ In It team.

Danâs in the zone and canât wait to head out to Atlantic City, but fate has other plans. Poker will still be played, though. Jeremyâs emotions may be played with too, as he and Natalie work through some things. Also, Isaac is getting smaller, and Dana lacks any compassion. At least Brian and Lex are here, so we all can try Sorkinâ In It.

Itâs the circle of life! By which we mean, Dana goes to see The Lion King on Broadway. Also, Sports Night covers an Everest climb. Brian has corrections for Aaron on mountaineering. And Danâs looking for a good place to donate his money. Hopefully heâs already a member of The Incomparable.

Itâs S1E8 of Sports Night â Thespis! Somehow, functional grown adults believe they are being haunted by a Roman god. Or a Greek ghost. Or something. Meanwhile, Isaac frets about his pregnant daughter, and a dumb joke about a turkey is telegraphed from a mile away. Luckily, Brian and Lex are. Letâs Sorkinâ In It together.
