Oh, you guys, I do not know how to accurately state how terrible this visit goes. It’s with all of this emotion - plus, like, every other emotion Alex has been feeling since TMS imploded - that Alex visits Lizzy at her boarding school, large pizza in hand, in an attempt to make amends.
She hops from that conversation to another super-fun one with her PR team, who informs her that “it’s not the best time to get divorced” and proceeds to list reasons why - mostly, the suspicious timing with Mitch’s divorce - as well as ways the actual filing for divorce could make her look good and pitiable or bad and like a heartless bitch, all with the sterility of the listing of side effects on a drug commercial. Basically, like, true Alex Levy nightmare stuff. She loves her job more than she’s ever loved her family. Lizzy immediately blames Alex and her job and tells her mother that she treats her and her father like assistants. The conversation goes about as poorly as Alex had feared. Freshly back from the wildfires in Los Angeles, Alex must do the thing that caused her to hurl her guts into a toilet in front of sometimes archenemy Bradley Jackson, and tell her young daughter Lizzy that she and Jason are getting a divorce. The most spectacular of these meltdowns belongs to our girl Alex Levy. It feels appropriate that “Open Waters” airs the week of Thanksgiving, a holiday that, with its potent mix of extended family members, free-flowing booze, and a truly overwhelming amount of meat, always runs the risk of ending in a full-on family meltdown, because that’s exactly what’s going on at The Morning Show this week: People are melting the hell down.
