Chaos Is the New Cocaine is the third episode of the first season of The Morning Show.
In a weekend of turmoil, TMS scrambles to prepare itself for its new future.

Alex tells everyone that Bradley is perfect for the job. Cory confronts her over it, but she simply leaves with Jason and Lizzy. As she goes, Maggie Brener approaches Bradley and tries to interview her, but Cory steps in and speaks to her himself, pretending the announcement was planned. He invites everyone to learn more by tuning in Monday for Alex and Bradley's first show. Once she's gone, Cory congratulates Bradley and tells her her life just took off. He tells her not to say anything to anyone and meet him at the studio. Bradley is swarmed with questions until Mia comes and ferries her out of the crowd.
In a car, Mia tells Bradley Cory is waiting for them at the studio, where they'll have more information. Bradley wants to go to the airport instead of the studio, but Mia says Cory already put it on public record. Bradley knows they won't get what they want from her, but they don't know what because she hasn't been vetted. She's being set up to be a fall guy.
Fred is angry that Cory went along with Alex's statement instead of refuting it. Fred wants to know why Cory is going to fix it. Cory says Alex did them a favor. The show has been stale. Alex needed to go a long time ago, but now they can make Alex think she's won. Now this fresh face will spike the ratings and they can finally let Alex go. They need to do it quickly because Your Day, America is creeping up on them. Cory asks Fred for a month to test it. Fred agrees, but Cory's the fall guy if it falls apart.
Sarah tells Alex she committed a fireable offense and they'll be lucky if the network continues negotiations at all. She needs to apologize to Fred immediately. Alex asks if there's an alternative option. Sarah says she could play the rehab card, say she was emotional about Mitch. Alex says she was emotional because no one was listening to her, not because of Mitch. Alex promises Sarah she'll handle it and Sarah reminds her to apologize. Once she hangs up, Alex tells Lizzy sometimes women can't ask for control, so they have to take it. She wants Lizzy to remember that.
