11 Cory & Bradley Visit Cory's Mom

In episode 7 of The Morning Show season 3, award-winning actress Lindsay Duncan joined the cast as Martha Ellison, Cory's mother. This addition provided valuable insight into Cory's behavior, not only for viewers but also for Bradley. Cory had asked Bradley for help in persuading a political strategist, who had close connections to the Department of Justice and was attempting to disrupt UBA's deal with Paul Marks. However, he purposefully withheld the fact that this strategist was his own mother. Cory also misled Bradley by suggesting they were going to an office instead of a family home and assured her that she would be able to return in time to deliver the evening news.

When Martha invites them to stay for dinner, Cory disregards Bradley's wishes and insists that he miss the show that night, asserting his authority as her boss. The strained relationship between the Ellisons becomes evident, and Bradley, once again, finds herself uncomfortably caught in the middle of Cory's problems. Bradley is torn between recognizing how Cory has manipulated and abused his power as her boss, and feeling sympathy for him as a supposed friend who also grapples with complicated family dynamics.

10 Andre Is Still Missing In The Morning Show

In episode 7 of The Morning Show, Mia attempts to make several international calls in order to discover Andre's whereabouts following the bombings in episode 4 of season 3. Regrettably, she does not receive any information, though this also indicates that there is still a chance for Andre's survival. Mia's relationship with Andre has played a significant role in her storyline this season; however, both characters have received limited screen time since the flashback episode.

9 Stella Gets Offered An Ultimatum To Replace Cory

Stella remains undecided about accepting Paul's CEO offer from the end of The Morning Show season 3, episode 6 due to understandable doubt. Amanda, Paul's assistant, prepared a contract in advance, allowing them to quietly strategize Cory's termination. However, if the deal were to fall through or if Cory were to discover their plans prematurely, the situation at UBA would become "untenable." Consequently, Stella faced the difficult decision of either accepting the offer prematurely to ensure Cory's downfall or forfeiting her current position altogether.

8 Mia Supports Stella Taking Over UBA

Stella is torn between her desire to become CEO and her reluctance to betray Cory and Paul. Seeking guidance, she confides in Mia in a private conversation. Mia acknowledges that both she and Stella have faced obstacles and made sacrifices to advance in their careers. However, Mia points out that they, as women of color, carry the burden of past injustices while their white male counterparts seemingly remain unaffected. With this in mind, Mia advocates for playing the game by their rules and surpassing them. If Cory's downfall in The Morning Show season 3 occurs, it would not only lead to his demise but also pave the way for Mia to be promoted to Stella's current position as President of UBA News.

7 The Vault Has A Picture Of Paul & Alex Kissing In Bed

In a storyline reminiscent of Laura and Bradley's outing in Season 2 of "The Morning Show" titled "The Vault," The Vault, an influential gossip magazine, has obtained a photograph of Paul and Mark sharing a kiss in bed and plans to publish it. In an attempt to suppress the scandal, Paul attempted to bribe the magazine with money per Alex's request. However, his efforts proved futile, suggesting that the person who sold the picture possessed something more valuable than Paul's financial offering. Interestingly, the characters in Season 3 of "The Morning Show" remain unaware that it was Cory who leaked Bradley and Laura's photos to the press in the previous season. This fact raises the possibility that Cory may have some involvement in this current leak as well.

6 Paul Fires Kate From Hyperion & Stella Turns On Her

Shortly after her conversation with Mia, Kate, Stella's former Stanford roommate who had chosen to work with Paul at Hyperion, unexpectedly appears at her office. She informs Stella that she was promptly terminated from Hyperion without any explanation, leading her to believe it was an attempt to silence her due to her close relationship with Stella and their shared history with Paul on The Morning Show. Kate pleads with Stella to awaken from her slumber and finally confront both Paul and Hyperion. Sadly, Stella's actions reveal that she possesses more similarities to the tech mogul than she would care to admit, as she displays cruelty and hypocrisy towards Kate.

Even when reminded by Kate about her presence during the near-death experience, Stella remained unswayed. This particular scene effectively demonstrates Stella's prioritization of money and power over those who genuinely care for her, a trait that Kate claimed has persistently existed, particularly concerning Paul. There appeared to be a shift in Stella's behavior following one of the most unsettling scenes from The Morning Show earlier this season, but Kate's words imply that Stella has always possessed a ruthless nature, although she prefers to believe otherwise.

5 Cory's Mom Calls Him Out On His Behavior

In The Morning Show season 3, episode 7, there is a portrayal of Cory's mother as manipulative. This is done in order to enhance the viewers' compassion for Cory. However, later on, it is revealed that she herself is a victim of Cory's schemes, just like everyone else. At first glance, it may appear that Cory brought Bradley to his mother's house to act as an intermediary between them. But Martha exposes Cory's calculated plan to manipulate Bradley into sympathizing with him by presenting himself as a victim. Although Martha may possess manipulative qualities of her own, it does not excuse the way Cory mistreats Bradley.

With UBA's power struggle escalating, Paul is now more dependent than ever on Bradley's loyalty in order to edge out Cory. His cunning plan appears to be effective as he cleverly manipulates the situation during their car ride back to New York City, portraying himself as a victim. With a calculated move, he admits to being a morally flawed individual, but it's merely a ploy to prompt Bradley to assert that she doesn't perceive him as such. And she succumbs, declaring him her friend. Aware of the similarities she shares with Cory, Bradley becomes an easy target for exploitation by Paul in The Morning Show season 3.

4 The Supreme Court Brief Overturning Roe v. Wade Leaks In The Morning Show

During a UBA fashion event, there was a leak about the Supreme Court's plan to overturn the significant 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which established the constitutional right to abortion. The topic of abortion rights has remained prominent since Bradley's revelation on The Morning Show, Season 1, Episode 4, where she openly discussed her teenage abortion. This news deeply impacted not only her but also many others at UBA, highlighting Christina's reaction and shedding light on important racial issues within the show.

3 Stella Tells Cory About Paul's Plan For When The Deal

Christina confronts one of the models at the event about her lack of concern regarding the decision. She points out that as a wealthy, white woman, the model will always have easier access to safe abortions compared to the less privileged individuals, particularly those of color. The heated exchange prompts Chris to share a powerful and provocative photo on social media. In the photo, she defiantly gives the middle finger while standing in front of a mirror. The mirror is marked with her lipstick message: "abort the court." This event sets the stage for a significant storyline that will undoubtedly take center stage for the rest of Season 3 of The Morning Show.

In the gripping Season 3, Episode 7 of The Morning Show, the tumultuous journey takes a decisive turn as Stella confides in Cory about Paul's scheme and tempting offer. As expected, Cory wastes no time in devising yet another plan. He cunningly advises Stella to accept the deal, all while allowing Paul to believe that he can manipulate her. With a pointed reminder that being underestimated is nothing new to her, Cory ironically fails to recognize that he himself has consistently underestimated Stella and utilized her only when it suits his agenda, and this pattern remains unchanged.

Cory manipulates Stella into thinking she has control, but in reality, he is using her to gather information on Paul for his own advantage. Despite sharing a common enemy in Paul, Cory thrives on manipulation as the reigning master of The Morning Show and refuses to allow anyone to dethrone him. Although Stella claims she doesn't want to be anyone's pawn and needs to focus on the upcoming hectic week, by confessing the truth to Cory, she has inadvertently placed herself in a vulnerable position.

2 Cory Threatens Leonard In The Morning Show

In The Morning Show season 3, episode 7, Cory's confrontation with Leonard showcases his most despicable, dangerous, and delusional side yet. It speaks volumes about his character. Cory, as the chair, expresses his belief that his job is to rally the board behind him. However, when Leonard challenges him, Cory compares himself to a soldier who has successfully overcome the board in the past. He boldly declares his willingness to display Leonard's head as a trophy in his office next to Fred's and Cybil's.

Cory's previous threats paled in comparison to his latest actions, which escalated the severity of the situation. While certain characters from The Morning Show have witnessed the extent of Cory's malevolence, he has always managed to shield himself with his achievements. However, now that Paul has backed Cory into a corner, he is intensifying his abusive use of authority. It is only a matter of time in The Morning Show season 3 before everyone uncovers Cory's true nature and the damage he has inflicted upon them.
