Laura basically says it's because they weren't exactly friends they were acquaintances, and Alex gossiped about her private life and then dumped her when things got tough.Īnd Alex admits that she did gossip about Laura - everybody did. (This is mostly an opportunity to hear Jennifer Aniston try to credibly say the phrase Bring in Da Noise, Bring In Da Funk, which, when spoken the way she does, sounds as awkward coming from her as it would from me, so: solidarity, Jennifer Aniston.) It turns out this is Alex's way of introducing the subject of why Laura doesn't like her anymore. Later, Alex goes to Laura's dressing room and starts asking if she remembers a night when they were out together with old colleagues to see some theater. Watching Succession, too? Read our recaps here after each episode. But last week when she spoke to Paige, Alex said this happened twice, and now she seems to be stressing that she "did it on purpose." She adds that even though they were both married, she "doesn't regret it one bit." (Keep that comment in mind.) But Alex says agreeing to come back was a mistake, and she will be giving the money back and exiting.Īlex warns Cory in private that Maggie's book is going to contain "damning information." She goes on to explain that she had sex with Mitch: "Did it on purpose, not coerced." This is a good time to mention something that someone was kind enough to remind me of recently: There was a moment when Alex implied that she had been drinking and had woken up in Mitch's bed with no idea how she got there, which raised the question of whether Alex had consented at all. Good luck! Cory stresses that Alex is closer than family ("we chose to be related and we'd never pay our family $25 million per"), and the network will support her. In the meeting with Cory and Stella, Doug tries to sell the idea that it was perfectly fine for Alex to flake off to Italy without telling anyone because she has time off in her contract.
Alex returns to the office and breathes on everybodyĪlex goes to UBA with her guy Doug (remember they got Will Arnett to come and be her guy even though he barely does anything?).
Read recaps of past episodes of The Morning Show here. He threatens to OD just to prove a point to her, which is pretty agonizing, but she sticks to her guns and drives off. She wishes him well and gives him some money, but as Laura suggested, she's drawing her boundary. When she drops him off, she essentially says that she's cutting him off and doesn't want to hear from him when he gets out. The next morning, Hal is willing to go to rehab on her dime. Bradley's family dramaĪs you'll remember, we left Bradley feeling pretty miserable about Hal (her brother) having shown up at the office, clearly under the influence and/or suffering mental health setbacks, making a scene. Alex slinks back into UBA and then visits Mitch's memorial service, Bradley puts her brother in rehab and then interviews Maggie about the book, and Laura lets Alex have it for being such a jerk. Bradley (Reese Witherspoon) and Alex (Jennifer Aniston) are back together at the desk, but not for long.Īfter a couple of weeks when we seesawed from a very bad episode to a very good episode, now we're comfortably back in the middle, where some things work and other things seem like they were written on Mars.
