But The Morning Show is about the people bringing the news to the country and how they do that, not the events themselves. That said, the segment about rescuing animals is the perfect way to frame so much of what's going on with everyone. Bradley is pushing for more serious storytelling and the battle of animal rescuing versus exposing the fact that people hire private firefighters to save their homes is the perfect way to set up Chip and Cory's grab for power against Fred. The rescuer talking about not breaking up the dog families is also a clever way to trigger Alex about her newly pending divorce. Alex is still Alex. Bradley should be very careful giving her any fuel for the fire burning against her that's pretty big already. Excuse the extended metaphor, but it's true. Alex is human, but she'll be as manipulative as ever when she recovers. Remember, she has no interest in going to L. A. to cover the fires until it's a way to stall Jason (who is totally justified in reaching his breaking point, by the way) before telling Lizzy about what's happening. It's not exactly a surprise that Chip is setting up a plan to grab more power and slowly realizing he needs Bradley by his side. It's still going to be entertaining to watch that unfold.
It's exhausting to think about because if they do get the power they want, they're going to be the ones who need to watch their backs. We aren't there yet. So, it will just be fun to watch the journey. Especially because I'm very uncertain who is going to survive. There were quite a few different scandals and twists this episode too, including the big reveal about Hannah. Alex and Bradley seem to have cleared the air too but it almost feels like the calm before the storm, as Chip is planning something with Cory and of course, Mitch's intriguing text.
