Tonight, The Newsroom season 2 finale, “Election Night, Part 1,” airs and we will see how the crew over at ACN will handle the Petraeus scandal in the aftermath of the Genoa debacle.

Last week’s episode ended with Maggie and Don getting the scoop of the century from Congressman Brody’s chief of staff regarding the Petraeus scandal, but Charlie, Mac, and Will react badly because this will not go over well with the already angry Department Of Defense.

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

“As election night 2012 winds down, Will and Charlie await a decision from Reese (Chris Messina) that may impact their future at ACN, and that of the entire senior staff. Sloan learns the identity of the anonymous winning bidder for her book; Don (Thomas Sadoski) discusses a countersuit against Jerry (Hamish Linklater) with Rebecca (Marcia Gay Harden); Neal turns to Hallie (Grace Gummer) for help giving Mac a parting gift; Jim tries to make peace with Lisa (Kelen Coleman), encouraging Maggie (Alison Pill) to do the same; Will has a revelation while Charlie is sharing his.”

Here is the trailer for tonight’s episode of The Newsroom:
