Chaos, yelling speeches in peoples faces, and a star-studded TV series ensues.
Lets not pretend that youre only now just hearing aboutThe Morning Show.
Dear lord, hype that up!
It is so thinly veiled, theres almost no veil to be found.
There is one other thing about which we should stop pretending.
Or, like, whatever-time soap streaming, amirite?
And I say that not as a dig, but as someone who lives for soapy dramas.
You know when I figured that out?
Her response to her boss who is asking her to check her temper?
I was talking to him about the truth.
Oh reader, I laughed so hard.
Thats some top-notch cheese right there, not an Important Dramatic Monologue.
After the news about Mitch breaks, things proceed much as you would expect.
So yeah, just like, a real charmer.
But this show at least, this episode is not about those dinks.
Its about Alex Levy (Aniston), Mitchs co-anchor of 15 years.
They are the mom and dad of morning TV.
She calls him her TV husband.
Alex is blindsided by the news.
You guys, Jennifer Aniston is insanely good on this show.
Alex goes on the air alone whenThe Morning Showbegins just hours after the Mitch news breaks.
She even tears up!
If that was her moment, it was a pretty good one.
Alex continues with the digs, clearly hoping to ruffle Bradley, but the woman remains unruffled.
She even dishes some of the passive-aggressiveness back.
Is Alex impressed or pissed that she didnt break her?
and I wont even care.
Just kidding, lets cap that at like, two at most.
She arrives soaking wet from the rain and she is so, so angry.
Guys, if Aniston doesnt win awards for this scene alone there might be riots.
Mitch continues to be a real prick, adhering to his belief that hes the victim here.
Why Alex doesnt claw his face in that moment, one will never know.
and follows her outside to tell her that the web connection was planning on getting rid of her anyway.
This Just In:
Did we really need a glimpse into Bradleys backstory in this episode?
Her family sucks, basically.
More on this later, surely.
Oh, okay, Paige Kessler (Embeth Davidtz)!
Mitchs wife shows up only to tell him shes taking the kids to the Hamptons and divorcing him.
She didnt really like him anymore, anyway.
Cool, cool, cool.
Whats the deal with Chip and Alex?
Are they simply just close after 15 years of working together?
Alex and her husband (Jack Davenport) seem to be in a weird place, huh?
Theres a Big Event on Friday, guys!!
No one mentions what it is but they talk about it several times!
A big event at the worst time!!
Were really sticking with that?
