At GCAC, Jack tells Traci that there’s been news of a terrible accident. She gasps.

Leanna approaches, looking for her scoop and Traci asks her to stop badgering these people. Jack tells her to go.
She calls them rude. “I’m just doing my job.” Jack says to find different work.
Victor, Nikki, Victoria and Nick watch and Victor says he wants Leanna out of there.
Nick will take care of it. He suggests everyone else go home.
He’ll keep them updated.
Leanna finds Stark and introduces herself. She wants the hot goss.
He’s up for an interview but Nick kicks Leanna out. It’s not a press event but a family matter.
