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.
Bradley (Reese Witherspoon), Cory (Billy Crudup) and Chip (Mark Duplass) visit Mitch (Steve Carell) to conduct the interview.
He confirms Hannah (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) was the anonymous tip, and Bradley leaves to meet with her as they prepare to get the interview ready before the network interferes.
After tearfully recounting her encounter with Mitch in Las Vegas, Hannah simply asks Bradley not to reveal her identity, and to wait until she accepts a new UBA job in Los Angeles.
Fred (Tom Irwin) dines with Maggie (Marcia Gay Harden), and she informs him of an investigation into UBA, angering him.
As Bradley and Chip work in getting the interview ready before the next show, Cory tells Mitch that he needs to own up to his actions if he wants to find acceptance.
She is then called by Chip, although she is already on-set and does not pick up her phone, who leaves a message confirming he leaked the story to prevent Alex's firing.
As the show begins, Alex refuses to participate, still shocked by the news of Hannah's death and troubled by her own complicity in the culture created by Fred and Mitch.
Alex and Bradley report on Fred's cover-up leading to a toxic environment, and reveal the network's knowledge of sexual misconduct.
Leder said that while they considered ending it with color bars, "it didn't feel as gratifying and haunting without seeing Mitch alone in the world of his own making.
