Producing Parker

Parker puts Simon in charge of his first story and learns to never do that again when she becomes the focus of his segment and is forced to confront her high school bully, Tyler Van Bustle (guest star Jason Priestley), live on The Dee Show. Dee learns that she can be a bit a bully when Russell confronts her about her behaviour.

Parker believes she’s a great matchmaker and forces Simon to participate in The Dee Show’s matchmaking show. However, it turns out that Parker and Simon have very different ideas of the kind of girl he should end up with.

Dee steals Victoria’s Nobel Peace prize and Parker forces her to break into Victoria’s corporate headquarters to put it back. It’s too bad for both of them that they get caught breaking in and get sent straight to jail.

The Dee Show explores the supernatural when they feature The Ghost Shouter, a medium who can find a ghost for everyone but Dee. Meanwhile, Parker decides to give up her crush on Blake, just in time to get haunted by his ghost.

When Bellamy research indicates that Dee’s no longer relatable to her viewers, Blake decides to give her a co-host the average female viewer can relate to -- Parker. Naturally, Dee goes ballistic and quits. Left on her own, Parker struggles in the spotlight while Dee strives to reclaim it.

Parker is introduced to the world of environmentalism when she meets a cute activist named Ethan. Parker soon becomes the most hardcore environmentalist of all while Dee shops for a new car on the show.

Parker and Dee agree that they need more celebrity guests on the show. They decide to go to rehab to get an exclusive deal with Lance Parfait, one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. But rehab turns out to be harder than it looks when they both have to give up their favourite vices.

It’s Mother’s Day and Parker’s Mom-free day is spoiled when her mother (guest star Catherine O’Hara) surprises her with a visit. Parker manages to pawn her Mom off on Dee, who’s searching for her birth mother on the show, but regrets it when her Mom seems to prefer Dee’s company to Parker’s.

Victoria announces her retirement, causing Dee to lose a rival and Parker to get one when Blake hires Victoria’s old guest booker, Zack Parker. The Dee Show rockets to number one when Parker realizes that she and Zack are better together. Meanwhile, Dee’s success means nothing to her if she can’t make Victoria feel bad about it.

When Blake sells the network to a computer company, Parker tries to impress her new Artificial Intelligence boss DIC (guest star Mark McKinney) by becoming more computerized and less emotional. Dee fights for a better contract by getting the rest of the staff to strike.

Simon is rejected by James Hard for a position on Hard News Report and tries to make himself more masculine by taking a man-pill. Parker finds herself attracted to the new Simon as she fights Dee for the presidency of a woman’s organization.

Dee uses a time machine to turn back the clock and become a teenager again while Parker uses the same machine to get a glimpse of her future. When Parker doesn’t like what she sees, she impulsively changes her future by marrying Blake.
