In its flashback fifth episode, The Morning Show thoughtfully examines destructive grief through Bradley's unfortunate loss.
Grief has been portrayed endlessly on television—and for good reason. As one of the most ubiquitous emotions, we will all grieve something or someone at some point in our lives, and that pain reaches across borders, languages, and belief barriers in its universality.
In many ways, the beginning of Episode 5 feels like something straight out of Bradley and Laura fanfiction. The two are now permanently hostingtogether in Alex’s absence, solid as ever after the shaky footing they found in the Season 2 finale, and Bradley leaves New York to begin quarantining at Laura’s Montana ranch.
From there, the episode begins to catalog the slow rot that begins to fester in their relationship as the seasons change. Bradley has always been a hot-headed character, she’s always been quick to snap and throw a mean comment when pushed. But the grief smothers her fire to a slow simmer. We watch as Bradley and Laura’s relationship dissolves not all at once in a burning blaze of smashed vases and hurled insults, but instead in a slow, acidic erosion.
In that way, Bradley regresses in Montana. She believes she isn’t deserving of the happiness she has fostered with Laura in their shared oasis , and the illusion of their shared happiness is shattered by that unmanageable grief and guilt. When the world is scary and uncertain, Bradley just wants her mother.
So when Bradley confesses to Laura in Episode 4 that a part of her wants nothing more than to run away with her and leave all the madness behind,exposes that still-lingering emptiness inside of Bradley two years later. Without the context of their time in Montana, that scene breezes by, seeming like Bradley simply yearning for an unattainable future for a lost relationship. However, after Episode 5, that scene shifts.
