The Morning Show Episode 4 Recap & Speculation: The Discrimination!

Imagine being insulted by your white boss for your race and then having the opportunity to confront them in front of everyone. How would that make you feel?

This is not a fantasy but a reality in The Morning Show, a show that does not hesitate to tackle controversial topics and take a stand. That’s why we are hooked on this show, aren’t we?

This week’s episode of The Morning Show Season 3, “White Noise,” leaves us with many questions and cliffhangers.

It deals with the aftermath of the cyberattack that exposed UBA’s racial disparities, pay inequality, and a racist email from board member Cybil Reynolds. We also learn more about Cory Ellison’s manipulation tactics and his plan to sell the network to Paul Marks. So, what can we expect from episode 4? Let’s get Sherlocking!

1. Episode 4 Synopsis/Speculation

I. Chris’ interview with Cybil Reynolds:

Chris completely ruins Cybil in the interview after her email containing racist remarks against Chris, are leaked. Episode 3 ends with Cybil getting voted out of UBA.

How will the audience and the other workers react to this entire fiasco? Cybil must feel betrayed by Alex after she throws her under the bus in the interview. Will she try to reprimand her? That’s something we will know in next week’s episode.

II. Christina Hunter’s decision:

Cory offers Christina a new deal, trying to convince her not to sue the network for the Cybil-email fiasco. Will she accept Cory’s offer or take legal action? I feel like she will quit the UBA and a whole legal procedure will be thrown open.

III. The staff’s revolt:

The staff of UBA discovered the pay gap between employees of color and white employees, thanks to the leaked documents in this week’s episode. They are angry and ready to leave, demanding fair compensation and recognition.

Mia and Stella try to calm them down and promise to address the issue, but will they follow through? Will the staff go on strike or stage a protest? How will this affect the production of The Morning Show?

IV. Bradley Jackson’s video:

Finally, the episode does not mention anything about Bradley’s video that was leaked in the previous episode. The footage showed Bradley confessing her feelings for Alex and admitting she was unhappy at UBA. How will this affect Bradley’s personal and professional life? Will Alex confront her about it or ignore it? Will Bradley regret making the video or stand by it?

The makers deliberately didn’t mention the footage in episode 3 to divert us from that plot and introduce a different consequence of the massive server meltdown. However, next week, we will get updates on the video issue and how the employees deal with it!
