So is Paul Marks just using Alex, or does he really care about her and sincerely planning to start a new company with her?

As another poster pointed out, Bradley resigning doesn’t protect her in any way from Paul Marks outing the news of her brother and her role in covering it up.

Speaking of that, I find that whole storyline REALLY far-fetched - that it would have even been noticed at all that Bradley cut the video where she did. How on earth would anyone have known there was more video?

I think Paul Marks is just using Alex. He planned to sell the company for parts way before he told her — that’s why he wanted the numbers, so he could value it. Maybe he even wants to take her down for some reason? Since him getting close to her has almost been his requirement of the deal from the start. She helps smooth the path with employees promising some new company, then he has a fight with Alex and pulls the rug out from under them about the new company — because he needs all that money for Hyperion. Alex has nothing in writing, she’s just trusting her hormones.

That's what I was wondering, too - how did he know?

Why was Laura SO angry about the J6 thing? That felt... disproportionate?

Totally agree. So self-righteous and over the top. There is a tiny bit of grey in the situation (when it's your family!) Just underscored how Laura looks down on Bradley's family.

Maybe. She way overreacted and got nasty; was out of character. And for her age.

The get on the high horse and destroy peoples lives didn’t make sense for her. Yuck

Lol this had not occurred to me at all but is so borderline insane that I could see it happening. This show likes to throw some bananas curve balls in there.

I am wondering whether they are setting up a marriage of convenience for Bradley and Cory for spousal privilege purposes.

Who is going to bring Paul Marks down? With Bradley quitting her job and Cory being escorted out of the building, will it be Alex after all?

Related to Cory being escorted out of the building- I know he leaked the story of Bradley and Laura in exchange to silence something else. Can something remind me what he was silencing?

Because he was fired. It's pretty common for security to escort fired employees out so they don't take important info or sabotage. This happens in the Feds, law firms, etc. I have seen it IRL.

BUT--Corey was also being fired for exactly what Mitch Kessler was being fired for---workplace 'grooming'/inappropriateness with a female underling. So I assume there's that as well.

DP. I think you misunderstood the PP’s question, one that I was wondering about too: last season, why did Cory leak the story about Laura and Bradley? There was something else he was covering up and I can’t remember what it was. He agreed to give up that story in exchange for the reporter keeping quiet about something else.

I've been thinking about this since you first posted...and you're right. But, I can't for the life of me remember what he was trying to save.

From an article online "It took over a season, but Cory is finally going to have to face consequences for leaking Bradley and Laura’s relationship to The Vault in The Morning Show season 2 to keep them from publishing a smear piece on Hannah that Fred had commissioned."

I’m the PPP - thank you! I couldn’t remember either!

Ah, that's right. I wonder how Bradley will interpret that trade.

I think Alex is going to realize at some point that Marks is not really interested in journalism and is just using her to justify breaking up the network, and she will double cross him joining Bradley and Cory to scuttle the merger.

I actually wonder if Bradley quit her job in part to make it easier to bring Marks down. She realized when he threatened her with the J6 info that she had no wiggle room at UBA.

Bradley, Cory, and Chip are all suddenly unemployed. Guess who else is unemployed? Cybil, who is busy buying up UBA stock. I think we're going to see them band together to take down Marks, as they each have a separate, and personal, reason to do so. And Alex will be caught in the middle, with personal allegiances to literally every person involved, including Marks.

Ooh I like that take. And probably Alex will fight them - then eventually join their team.

How does resigning make Bradley's J6/Paul Marks issue go away? He still has the dirt on her.

Yes but he's no longer her employer.

She may think at this point it's inevitable it will come out, and by quitting at least she leaves on her own terms. Plus she separates herself from her producer and others at the company who might be pulled down with her, including Stella (who sent Bradley to the J6 protests and directly supervised her coverage).

Her career may still be destroyed if/when people find out about her brother, but it gives her time to look into Marks and maybe get important info out about it.

But I also think it's possible she could come out unscathed because she's being portrayed as a victim in the story about her and Cory, with pictures of her clearly black out drunk with him. So it's also possible that if the J6 stuff comes out now, people will be sympathetic to her and inclined to see her as having been used/abused by UBA.

There are a number of ways it could go, but Bradley as a free agent opens up a number of possibilities that wouldn't be there if she was still at UBA.

I assume his awesome chief of staff woman can find out anything. No worries.

Bradley is in a big pickle for sure. Can’t escape her family.
