But first, I need you to understand that Yanko the Weatherman does this very odd spoken-word performance while wiggling his hips to Rick Astley\u2019s \u201cNever Gonna Give You Up\u201d\u2026 while women in form-fitting black dresses shake it around him\u2026 and images of the Manhattan skyline are projected behind them\u2026 culminating in a tableau in which Yanko is down on one knee, ring box in hand, asking his girlfriend (wait, what?) Ariana to marry him. Did I mention this is all happening on the set of The Morning Show? And it\u2019s not even the real thing \u2014 just a rehearsal for the segment in which he\u2019s planning to pop the question, live on the air?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>More from TVLine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s madness.

And kudos to Nestor Carbonell for fully committing to the awkward, funny, bizarre bit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Too bad the proposal never actually happens, because Yanko finds out \u2014\u00a0moments before air, mind you \u2014 that his former love, Claire, is in town. Keep reading for the highlights of \u201cLove the Questions,\u201d then make sure to see what Marion Cotillard thought of the big bombshell Cory drops on Celine at the end of the hour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">* Alex\u2019s dad shows up at her apartment, livid: The student journalist that Alex talked to a few episodes ago now is alleging in her story that Martin plagiarized his book, and he blames Alex. She says she\u2019ll reach out to the reporter, Justice, to see what she can do. The student says they\u2019ll take the allegation out of the story\u2026 <em>if<\/em> Alex will provide a field producer job at UBN. Alex thinks about it but ultimately refuses. When she tells Martin that she couldn\u2019t get the story changed, he\u2019s cutting: \u201cMore fool me for hoping you could come up with anything more consequential.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>the-morning-show-season-4-episode-4-recap-<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">* Everything about Wolf River has been wiped from the UBN archives. Chip swings by UBN to fill Bradley in on what he\u2019s found \u2014\u00a0a lawyer representing the class-action lawsuit against the chemical company died after a series of negative stories about him ran on Eagle News, and then then the story dried up \u2014 and runs into Alex while he\u2019s there. He tells her a bit about the story, and she\u2019s irate that Bradley went behind her back. As she lights into Bradley on set, Yanko hears. \u201cClaire\u2019s in town?\u201d he says, still clearly interested. Still, he plans to go through with the proposal, until a plane in peril supersedes everything the show had planned for the day. \u201cThe plane, if it crashes, America \u2014 they\u2019re going to want to see something positive,\u201d he pleads, to no avail. Everyone runs around in a frenzy as they track the plane. Chip helps by finding someone to talk about jets on the air. Alex is in the control room the whole time. When the aircraft lands safely, everyone rejoices. Turns out, Ariana knew about the proposal plan the whole time\u2026 and she rolls with it, after the show, when Yanko decides not to go through with asking her.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"the-morning-show-season-4-episode-4-recap-\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"648\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/qtav9uU_wlI6TAZZGDceVg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0ODtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/tvline.com\/003b293c80f4b808bdcdf616fef16896\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>the-morning-show-season-4-episode-4-recap-<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">* After she\u2019s done yelling at Bradley, Alex gives her two weeks to get something concrete and on-the-record regarding the story. But Bradley needs her help to get info from Eagle News anchor Ashley Andrews regarding the stories about the dead lawyer. So in exchange, Bradley calls and tells her (with Alex\u2019s permission, though Ashley doesn\u2019t know that) that Alex is sitting on a story about Extinction Revolt. \u201cI so hope this is worth it,\u201d Alex says when Bradley hangs up the phone. It is: The files that Ashley sends make it look like Cory had his fixer send the dirt on the lawyer to Eagle News. Bradley is shocked.

And then I changed my mind.\u201d She laughs. \u201cI thought no, she cannot imagine that this bond that they have, that this love that they\u2019ve had for 10 years, the fact that she gave up a lot to be with him \u2014 and also the fact that she believes in her own power \u2014 could lead to this affair.
