Natacha: >>I'm not so sure about that. Lynda just says "The number is on my desk" (or >>something like that) which means she had it before she knew Sarah was >>at the party.

I remember Sarah saying something to Julie/Spike/Frazz/the newsroom at large about telling Lynda she was going to the party with Gary Morris - I don't _remember_ her saying anything about leaving her number, but wouldn't it fit the overall pattern for her to leave a note saying something along the lines of "Dear Lynda, I just thought I should let you know, I'll be at a party tonight; the number is *******, just in case you need me, Sarah PS If you ring and they can't find me, ask for Gary Morris, as I'm going with him." Thus Sarah crowbars the fact that she's going to the party with GM yet again (the mention to Julie, Spike etc can be conveniently explained by her as "oh, I forgot I'd written the note" or something, while actually, it's just another chance to mention the date in front of the newsroom team). Okay, I'm getting theoretical, but it works, dunnit!
