After allegations of sexual misconduct, the male co-anchor of the program, Mitch Kessler, is forced off the show.
It follows Mitch's co-host, Alex Levy, and a conservative reporter Bradley Jackson, who attracts the attention of the show's producers after a viral video.
The staff has returned to New York City, but with Alex on leave due to her back problem, they continue the show without her.
Looking for a substitute, Chip (Mark Duplass) convinces Cory (Billy Crudup) in hiring Laura (Julianna Margulies), but Stella (Greta Lee) pressures them in getting Alex back as soon as possible.
Bradley (Reese Witherspoon) is delighted with the idea of Laura co-hosting, convincing her to accept the offer.
Cybil (Holland Taylor) reminds Stella to control her staff, especially Yanko (Néstor Carbonell) after his fight video goes viral.
Daniel (Desean Terry) gets into trouble when he calls out a fellow co-worker, Peter Bullard (Dave Foley), during a live interview.
During a break, Laura suggests treating it simply as a rumor, but Bradley is frustrated that she has to disclose her private life to the public.
As Maggie's book continues detailing Mitch's activities, Mia (Karen Pittman) demands that Chip find Alex, who has avoided his calls.
Maggie Fremont of Vulture gave the episode a 2 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "Alex Levy is missing, and that's a big problem.
