All eyes are on Stella Bak this week.
Not just any job theJob.
The president of UBA job.
The job is currently occupied by Cory Ellison.
Whats a tech gal turned head of the news division for a legacy media company to do?
On one hand, this is everything shes been waiting for.
She also reminds Stella that its not like shes above getting her hands dirty.
Shes stepped over a few bodies to get where she is today.
If only Mia would do anything remotely close to this apparent cold-killer life philosophy she has at the moment.
She is yet another character (cough, Bradley Jackson, cough) whose personality changes with the tides.
Regardless, at this moment, Mia empowers Stella to say, you know what?
She takes one step further toward signing those papers and throwing him under the bus.
Lets meet Corys mommy, shall we?
He pulls up to a nice suburban house and blasts Kokomo to … pump himself up?
kindly, never reveal the answer; its better this way.
She didnt ask once in the car ride?
Isnt she a journalist?
Her literal job is to ask questions.
Shes the one who is always like, I want the TRUTH.
What did they talk about the whole time?
Anyway, the visit home grows more and more unsettling by the minute.
Things seem okay at first.
She still brags about him to Bradley.
Its quietly and expertly done, and Cory gives into it.
Of course, theyll stay for dinner.
(Except for the lobsters, I suppose.)
She lays into him about how women of a certain age are ignored and forced to stay silent.
Surprisingly, none of this is a fever dream.
She tells her son that he deserves to be alone.
She warns Bradley that hes just manipulating her.
She tells Cory to leave with the heartwarming kicker: Theres something really wrong with you.
The SCOTUSleakabout reversingRoev.Wadecomes out.
Why doesThe Morning Showhate us so much?
In an even bigger surprise, Cory tells her to sign the papers.
He wants Paul to trust her.
He wants to see how this all plays out.
Its not the first time youve been underestimated around here, Cory tells Stella.
Now they have the upper hand on Paul Marks.
But just because Cory has a plan doesnt mean hes not pissed as hell.
Stellas news, paired with his time with Mom, has rattled him up.
Like his mother, Cory can change personalities in an instant.
We see him do it here, with Leonard.
He tells him to do his job and get the board in line to back Corys plans.
Suffice it to say, Corys in a real mood at the moment!
In Other News!
Alex and Paul have themselves a little lost sex weekend!
Chip catches Alex and Paul kissing in her office, and he looks downright heartbroken about it.
Will this man ever learn?
Shouldnt the fact that Mias boyfriend has been missing in Ukraine for two weeks be a bigger deal?
How embarrassing for Andre.
Where he continually gets stood up by the same woman but doesnt do anything about it!
