In two clips from “News Night with Will McAvoy”, the fifth episode of The Newsroom season 2, we see Will getting some unfortunate news while sitting at the News Night desk, while Sloane gets some bad news of her own.
This first clip shows Will sitting behind the iconic ACN desk, preparing for another News Night broadcast when he gets an emergency phone call about his father:
It’s wonderful to see Mac step in and protect Will a bit. He didn’t need to deal with whatever twitter scandal Neal was bringing to his attention, especially not at this exact moment. Mac does a remarkable job of shooing Neal out the door and giving Will the opportunity to take a second and reflect on the news he just received.
The next clip is of Sloan, Reese, and Charlie discussing what they are going to do in the aftermath of some revealing pictures of Sloan that have hit the internet:
It’s hard not to love Sloan, and seeing her refusing to be a victim, even in this type of situation where she has clearly been mistreated, makes us love her even more. She knows that she screwed up, and that even though she didn’t do anything wrong except trust the wrong person, she is willing to take responsibility for her actions.
Hopefully we will see some sort of silver lining to these issues in The Newsroom season 2, episode 5 “News Night with Will McAvoy,” or at least see them dealt with in a timely and efficient manner. Both Sloan and Will hold a special place in the hearts of The Newsroom fans, and it’s never fun to see them hurt for any reason.
This next episode of The Newsroom, “News Night with Will McAvoy” airs this Sunday, August 11 at 10:00 PM on HBO. Don’t miss it!
