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.
Fearing the network could be exposed, Cory (Billy Crudup), Chip (Mark Duplass) and Fred (Tom Irwin) try to get the Times to drop the story in exchange for an exclusive regarding Mitch's visit, but they refuse.
After receiving an unexpected phone call from her estranged father (David Morse), Bradley has sex with a man at the bar, and she later gets Cory to help her return to her hotel room.
Suddenly, the Times article drops; while the testimony is detailed, the network is not implicated, and Mitch is enraged that Fred has ceased defending his actions.

Maggie Fremont of Vulture gave the episode a 3 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "if you think that by the end of the show Alex is over Bradley questioning whether she knew about what Mitch was up to, you are extremely wrong.
Whether it's zipping down UBA hallways, drinking in a Midtown Irish pub that I can't imagine a group of cool media women would be caught dead in, or swanning around your own packed penthouse while Cheyenne Jackson sings show tunes for charity, there's a lot of togetherness in this episode.
"[8] Veronique Englebert of The Review Geek gave the episode a 3.5 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "The excellent performance from the cast remain the focus of the show here, which is greatly helped by the realistic dialogue and individual character arcs.
