The wait is finally over. Two long weeks after The Newsroom season 2, episode 7 “Red Team III” aired, we finally get to see the first part of the two part season finale.

The official synopsis for tonight’s episode of The Newsroom is as follows:

In the wake of Leona’s (Jane Fonda) refusal to accept the resignations of three top ACN talents, “News Night” goes forward with its 2012 election night coverage, featuring Will (Jeff Daniels) in the unlikely role of director of morale. Sloan (Olivia Munn) is perturbed that her book was auctioned off with a forged signature, while Mac (Emily Mortimer) tasks Neal (Dev Patel) to fix a faulty Wikipedia page. Mindful that Charlie (Sam Waterston) wants a screw-up-free evening, Jim (John Gallagher, Jr.) weighs the cons of retracting a call he made too soon. The team deliberates whether to hold off on a story that might affect a tight Senate race.

If you remember two weeks back to the end of The Newsroom season 2, episode 7, “Red Team III”, Mac, Will, and Charlie had presented a quite drunk Leona Lansing with their resignations. She refused to accept, and challenged them to get the audience they may have alienated with the botched Genoa story.

From the two clips we have seen so far from “Election Night, Part 1,” we have seen Elliot, Sloan, and Taylor getting ready for the long night of election coverage, and Jim making an honest mistake with some state abbreviations. Check out both of those below.

We’re definitely hoping to see this little blunder by Jim get wrapped up quickly, as they’ve had enough trouble lately without adding to it with silly mistakes. And who else is looking forward to seeing Taylor and Jim battle it out throughout the evening as they cover the election?
