Apple TV+ has released a new clip from this week's episode of The Morning Show, and Collider has your exclusive look at the scene featuring Steve Carell's disgraced former host Mitch tipping off UBA executive Cory (Billy Crudup) about a smear campaign against Hannah (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) gathering steam. The streaming drama series premieres every Friday on Apple TV+.

Of course, Cory's response to Mitch's attempts to flag a potential PR crisis is to point out the role he played in the entire situation that occurred in Season 1, whose ripple effects are still being felt as the second season continues — so the conversation between the two men becomes defensive pretty quickly. As Crudup revealed in a recent interview with Collider, "I think Cory is someone who navigates that system really well, so can somebody who navigates a system that may be corrupt very well be without corruption themselves? It seems unlikely to me."

Here's the official synopsis for Season 2:

Picking up after the explosive events of Season 1, this season finds the Morning Show team emerging from the wreckage of Alex (Jennifer Aniston) and Bradley’s (Reese Witherspoon) actions, to a new UBA and a world in flux, where identity is everything, and the chasm between who we present and who we really are comes into play.
