The Morning Show Season 3 Episode 6, "The Stanford Student," focuses on two compelling storylines, Alex and Paul and Laura and Bradley, which are intriguing and compelling. However, the show's use of the forward motion of these romances can derail two significant larger plots. While the show's forward motion of these relationships is intriguing, it's not a complaint as they are compelling pairings that deserve more exploration. The show's use of these relationships to establish leads is not a good strategy, as it can derail the development of larger plots. The show's use of these relationships as a focus is not a criticism, but rather a criticism of the show's approach to storytelling. Hal's decision to confess his J6 involvement to the FBI is a significant change in a nonsensical storyline. If Hal had expressed remorse or self-awareness about his involvement in the riots, his sister's decision to cover for him, or the impact of his decision to blow up her lie, the plot might have been more compelling. However, Laura, who arrives at Bradley's apartment, apologizes to Hal for judging him and encouraging his sister to cut herself off from him. Laura also encourages Hal to be more receptive to Bradley's decision to date women and support their relationship to make Bradley happy. This highlights the lack of growth and development in the show. Laura's perspective on the episode is praised for its genuineness and maturity, but it seems that it is a resolution to the Hal plot and not a way to support Bradley and Laura. The Morning Show reveals Stella's deal with billionaire Paul Marks, but they apologize and promise a better job. Alex, who is interested in buying UBA, wants an exclusive interview with Paul about the company's cultural role and what he hopes to achieve by acquiring the company. Paul agrees to the interview, despite traditionally being one of those rich men who don't do interviews. Alex does great in the interview, refusing to be rattled by comments that make it sound like they have an undisclosed personal relationship. She manages to get him to answer real questions about his past, demonstrating a remarkable level of genuineness and maturity. The episode highlights the uncomfortable truths and the importance of open communication in the media industry. The show uses the interview as a set-up for Alex and Paul to kiss and sleep together, which is charming. However, it seems to waste the big secret they've been hinting Stella had all season long. It's unclear if Paul's offer to give Stella Cory's job is an apology or if he truly apologizes for hurting her. The show doesn't seem interested in the answers, like Hal's nebulous J6 situation. The Morning Show season 3 episode 6 is less exciting than the previous two, with Stella's job offer promising future drama. Paul Marks' interview on Alex's show may leave viewers divided about his character, and it's unclear whether he's hated or loved. Bradley's plot doesn't push any buttons, but Cory's willingness to protect UBA raises questions about her commitment to clearing up her mess.
