Lonely at the Top is the eighth episode of the first season of The Morning Show.
TMS celebrates the birthday of one of their own as the country struggles with a tragic event.
Mitch wakes up to his alarm. Paige puts a cup of coffee on the nightstand for him. He has two more days of being 49 and she tells him to enjoy them.
Downstairs, Mitch finds cards and presents from his sons.
As he goes outside to get in the car, he asks the driver, Paul, what he's doing there in the middle of the night. Paul laughs and wishes him a happy early birthday, as they won't be seeing each other on Sunday. Mitch would rather forget about it anyway. He gets a text from Alex. It's the same song she sends him every year. He hits play and they listen as Paul starts to drive.
Greg tells Alex Chip wants her to reach out to J.Lo to see if she'll come on the show and talk about the situation in Puerto Rico. Sean says he'll set it up. Isabella hands her a list of questions for the eudcation reform debate, but it's the same day as another thing Alex is supposed to be doing.
Sean greets Mitch as he gets off the elevator, wishing him a happy birthday weekend. Next, he high fives Dhillon as she passes him. Then he hugs Jake. In the control, he gets many more birthday well-wishes. Joel hands him copy about Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria. Mitch then meets Mia, who wishes him happy birthday. He tells her it's not until Sunday. Rena passes and briefly sings to him. Mitch leans in to kiss Mia, but she pulls away and asks if he has the Hurricane Maria copy. They part ways as he goes into his dressing room, where Bart also wishes him happy birthday.
Chip inspects a Ducati motorcycle. There's a mark, but it's just a finger smudge which Spencer easily wipes away. Alex comes in as Spencer leaves and says Mitch will love it. She asks him about the scheduling conflict. He tells her Mitch is going to do the wild card game while she does the debate. The network wants to try Mitch on the playoffs, even though she usually does them. Chip brushes it off as no big deal, but admits the network did a test and Mitch tested well. Alex says that's due to her. If they tested him with Alison, he wouldn't have tested as well. Chip tries again to reassure Alex. Alex remimnds Chip that he used to be her producer. He says he still isn't and he found her. She's his golden goose, but so is Mitch. Alex thinks the network is intentionally trying to put Mitch above her. Isabella comes to tell Alex makeup is ready for her, but Alex tells Chip she's not done with the conversation. Chip tells her not to worry.
