It is the eighteenth overall episode of the series and was written by co-executive producer Brian Chamberlayne and Ali Vingiano, and directed by Victoria Mahoney.
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.
For the episode, Reese Witherspoon received a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards.
The announcement shocks the staff, but Cory refuses to comment until they can verify the story, while Stella (Greta Lee) tries to locate Alex to report it.
Chip calls the hospital to corroborate Mitch's identity, specifically asking if Alex was with him, and a nurse confirms a woman was with him in bad condition.
Stella presses Isabella (Hannah Leder) to diclose Alex's location, revealing that she recently boarded a plane to Teterboro Airport.
During this, Bradley (Reese Witherspoon) is visited by Hal (Joe Tippett), while Laura (Julianna Margulies) joins the conversation.
