Cory has a meeting with ad executives, and they discuss business. Stella also has a meeting with other ad people at a restaurant. Alex goes to meet Paul Marks and takes him to a theme park. She apologises to Paul for bailing out on the space mission. She tells him she has a complicated history with the UBA and men trying to control their destiny. The duo take one of the rides at the theme park. Laura attends Cory’s party and meets Bradley. The duo get talking and eventually find out that Cory paid the hackers to stop them from leaking their video.
The ad execs give Stella a hard time, humiliate her and the restaurant waitress, and then sign a deal. She goes to Cory’s party and expresses how bad the experience was. Mia gets photos from Andre but wants to make them live when he safely gets out of Mariupol. However, Stella asks her why she is not running a breaking news that will help the network.

The episode ends with Cory learning that Fred works with the same execs with whom UBA will sign the deal. Cory tells Stella they must drop the deal as they can’t work under Fred again.

The Morning Show Season 3 Episode 4 Review: Discussion and Final Thoughts
The Morning Show Season 3 Episode 4 focuses on how Cory and his team will save UBA and its 22,000 employees. Cory, Stella, Alex and Bradley are doing everything possible to get the ad deals. But as usual, Alex does something unexpected and does her own thing. After a good third episode, the Apple TV+ show again becomes a mess. It has become more stylish instead of giving us more substance.
UBA’s struggle to not go bankrupt and remain relevant is something we have seen in the previous season, too. The stability in the narrative will likely happen only when UBA gets it together. Until then, we will be provided with unsynced episodes, neither here nor there.
Overall, the new episode is another attempt to save UBA, which fails in saving the show from turning absurd. The entire newsroom backdrop has lost its charm, and we’re witnessing the behind-the-scenes mess, which seems quite superficial. The characters are tense in one episode, and in the next one, they all are fine, as if the system was never hacked!
The new episode is now streaming on Apple TV+.
