The episode concludes with Alison Davis capturing a peculiar image that sheds light on the ongoing chaos, setting the stage for the next episode featuring Ellis Dragon and his team tackling a viral Time magazine cover.
Recent speculations suggest that Meghan Markle's discontent with how she was depicted in her interview with The Cut has led to the journalist responsible for the piece being placed on unpaid leave.
