The kind of build-up and tension you need just before a season finale and an excellent payoff to the events of all 3 seasons so far. You get to see the human side of characters as well as the monster within. A huge chain of events and the massive effect each of every one of those events has had on several characters.

Performances are incredibly strong, particularly from Reese and Billy but several others are noteworthy. It sets up something potentially explosive and epic and I hope it manages to deliver. The writing of this one seems very strong and shows a clear and rather impressive plan was in place this whole time.

WOW, this episode was awesome! This whole season was slowly building up to this episode! It wasn't clear in what direction this season was going from the beginning, but now everything is being tied together and it's just a joy to watch!

The performances are incredibly strong and the writing is on point! I honestly don't know whose side to be on! Most of the characters are being well fleshed out, unlike some. Cory is my favorite as always.

This episode finally reveals secrets from previous seasons that never got discussed, and it's so satisfying how they are tying it together.

This season is still not as good as the first. The first was something new, different, and fresh. Everything was there for a purpose and you got a lot of Alex and Bradley dynamic. This season comes close, it really depends on the last episode. Because lately in a lot of shows, the penultimate episode is amazing, and the finale then disappoints. The writers set a high bar, let's hope they can reach it!

Otherwise props to the cast!

The Morning Show Season 3 Episode 9, "Update Your Priors," is a thrilling and emotional episode that explores the future of UBA. The show follows the story of a mysterious LLC buying up shares of UBA before the board vote on the Paul Marks deal. Bradley investigates the safety warnings at Hyperion and Alex, who is torn between her career at UBA and a future she might forge outside of it if Paul decides to sell off parts of the company. The show's most likely conclusion is the end of UBA, which would be a realistic outcome. However, the company's toxic office culture and criminal cover-ups have been toxic since the show's inception, and the show's one-off monologues about the importance of legacy media have failed to convince viewers that the network deserves to survive in its current form. The author is interested in the potential company Alex might build if given the power she has been seeking for a long time and the stories she might tell. They believe Alex and Paul make good partners, respecting her talent and opinion more than Cory has. The most satisfying moment of the episode was when Alex finally told Cory about himself, as she is not wrong in her decision to side with Paul. The deal is as much about Cory's ego as it is about protecting the company's future, and Alex's self-righteous monologing does not make that any less true. The Morning Show has struggled to depict the relationship between Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston since the Season 1 finale, where they joined hands to change UBA. For most of Seasons 2 and 3, the two women have been siloed in separate storylines and their paths crossed infrequently. While it's a relief to finally see Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston share a meaty scene together this season, Bradley's lecturing tone about Alex's love life is quite a lot. While she's trying to justify her investigative reporting and her involvement in safety violations and exploited workers, it's clear that she wants to have a story here, which immediately puts Alex's back up.

It would have felt less manipulative if they had spent more time together this season or if the show had set up their conversation in a way that wasn't so clearly about trying to put them on opposite sides of this particular war. Alex is genuinely interested in Bradley coming with her to whatever new venture she's planning, but she's going about it differently than dramatically quitting on-air. Bradley, a former UBA player, is dealing with a significant issue with his girlfriend Laura, who has discovered she has committed minor felonies. Laura is concerned about the consequences of not reporting the truth, as she knows she could face consequences if anyone finds out she knew about the crimes. Laura confronts Bradley about the truth, and Witherspoon and Julianna Marguiles play crucial roles in the scene. Bradley admits the truth, claiming to be sorry and attempting to make things right again. However, Laura's protests are seen as lies, and she has no intention of anyone finding out. The fight between the two is heartbreaking, and Laura is devastated by the revelation and the long-standing lies. Despite this, she still cares about Bradley and doesn't report the story, leaving her anger unresolved. It's unclear what the future holds for the two characters.
