Who knew that ten weeks could fly by so quickly? As we prepare for the season finale of The Newsroom, “Election Night, Part 2” to air this Sunday, September 15, we get one last set of preview clips until season 3 next summer.

HBO has steadily been releasing two preview clips for each new episode of The Newsroom season 2 every week, and the finale is no different. In the two clips released this week, we see Jim and Lisa finally have a conversation about what happened in the finale from season 1 of The Newsroom, and Will’s staff takes a stand on principle when he tells them about the decision himself, Charlie and Mac have made to present their resignations to Leona Lansing.

The first clip from The Newsroom season 2 finale shows Jim trying to convince Lisa that she is way too good for him, and she should be talking to Maggie again, especially considering Maggie’s current mental state.

Not only do you get another dose of the ever charming Jim Harper, but it’s nice to see that he does still care about Maggie, no matter what else may be going on. Also, despite her protestations to the contrary, it does seem that Lisa still cares very deeply about Maggie.

After Jim insinuates that something may have happened in Uganda, Lisa stammers a bit and it’s clear that her mind is still traveling somewhere between “Is Maggie hurt?” and “She hurt me.” Hopefully, somewhere in this mess of a situation there will be some understanding and forgiveness among these 3, but we will just have to wait and see how that plays out.

The second clip gives us a short meeting between Will McAvoy and his staff in which he informs them about the decision that he, Mac, and Charlie made regarding their future at ACN, and he gets a bit of shock when the staff reacts a little differently than he expected.

Not only does Will underestimate his staff’s admiration for him, he also seriously underestimates the values that he has been trying to educate everyone about for the last two seasons of The Newsroom. While on his ‘mission to civilize’ Will has managed to impart the exact message he wanted to his staff, no matter what the general public audiences may be thinking.

The staff have a ‘we’re all in this together’ kind of attitude, and will not allow Mac, Charlie, and Will to throw themselves at the network executives as sacrificial lambs for mistakes they themselves didn’t make.

The Newsroom season 2 finale, “Election Night, Part 2” airs this Sunday night, Sept 15, at 10pm on HBO.
