It is the seventeenth overall episode of the series and was written by series developer Kerry Ehrin and Scott Troy, and directed by executive producer Mimi Leder. It was released on Apple TV+ on October 29, 2021.
The series follows the characters and culture behind a network broadcast morning news program, The Morning Show. After allegations of sexual misconduct, the male co-anchor of the program, Mitch Kessler, is forced off the show. 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. In the episode, Alex visits Mitch at Italy to get him to clarify a few details from Maggie's book.
The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, although some were divided over the closure to Mitch's story arc.
