"The Morning Show" braces itself for a story from The New York Times on Mitch's behavior leading him to crash the studio and beg his former coworkers to speak on the record in his defense. When the weekend hits Alex hosts a charity fundraiser which seemingly goes well and she is nevertheless thrown by talk of Bradley's success and Cory's proposal that they collaborate leading her to seek out solace from Mitch.
Bradley tries to bond with her coworkers by going out to celebrate Claire's birthday at a bar only for the night to get heated as talk eventually turns to Mitch and Bradley receives a call from her estranged father. As the Times story hits, Mitch is enraged that Fred has thrown him under the bus and vows to take him down.
