New alliances are formed and old bonds are revived as TMS is forced to reckon with its past.
Mitch comments than it's been a while since they saw each other outside work. She wonders how he found her apartment. He says he still has his contact list. He asks to come inside and talk to her, but she says she has guests. She says they can talk there. He asks her if she remembers sleeping with him and leveraging it to get the head booker job. He's not juding her. He's over it, but needs to know if she remembers. If she wants to dance, she needs to pay the fiddler. She needs her help getting proof that Fred swept his "so-called" behavior under the rug. And she's proof of that. He needs her to go on the record with a reporter. It's not a small ask. Hannah says it's her career they're talking about. He says it can be anonymous if she wants, but he needs someone. She's not sure if she can. Mitch tells her what he thought of her when they first met. That's why it took him off guard when she did what she did. That choice cost her something. He's having to examine his own behavior and doesn't want Fred to be the only one not examining his behavior. Everyone should live by the same rules. Mitch then says he's already talked to reporters, so her story is coming out either way. Controlling narrative is powerful. She says she'll think about it. He thanks her and says she's one of a kind.
Alex wakes to her phone ringing. It's a security guard telling her Bradley is there. Alex says to let her in, but give her a few minutes first.
Bradley is amazed by Alex's place. Alex brings her some wine as she admires the view out her window. Alex got it her fifth year on the show. It felt good. Alex practices what she's going to say about her divorce. Bradley encourages her to be honest because people like that. Alex wants them to join Tinder together. Alex asks if she's ever been interested in marriage, but Bradley says she's not suited for that. She's not even sure she believes in love. Marriage is too big a leap for her. Alex thinks that's a shame, despite her circumstance. She thinks partnership is great, however long it lasts. Bradley tells Alex about the interview she wants to do with Mitch. She knows it's a sensitive subject and wants to acknowledge that. Alex is shocked. Bradley tells her that Mitch wants to out Fred for promoting that culture. She knows Mitch is out for revenge, but in order to accuse Fred, he has to admit that he's part of the problem. Bradley knows she can hold his feet to the fire, especially with Alex's help. And they can nail Fred. Alex asks what Bradley wants her to say. Bradley wants her honest opinion and Alex asks how Mitch contacted her. Bradley says they met in person. Alex is upset that Bradley didn't talk to her first. Bradley thought she'd say not to do it. Alex is worried about getting screwed over by this. She knows Mitch wants to take more people down with him. Bradley offers to protect her, but Alex knows that won't work. The business is a boy's club. Everyone knows the culture that exists in their business. Bradley just needs to shut up and do her job and have a shred of loyalty for Alex. Bradley goes to leave and Alex says Mitch came to her because she was an easy mark.
Bradley gets back to her hotel and calls Hal. She asks if she ruined their lives by reporting their father for killing a child while he was driving drunk. Things fell apart for their family after he went to prison. She's sick with herself over it. Hal says what she did was right because if she hadn't, it could have happened again. He drove drunk with them in the car so many times. Hal's not an addict because of her, but because he's wired wrong. He's going to get better because of her, becuase he wants to see her change the world. She doesn't need those people there to be her friends. She tells Hal she misses him and loves him. He says he loves her, too.
