I agree!! The Media tends to only care about the story and not the actual lives it affects, so it is refreshing to have a character like Maxine. It's funny that you brought up Lois Lane because I have to do the first episode of Superman and Lois today as a Patreon request lol

2023-06-23 14:00:58 +0000 UTCBury the Lede- Another great episode! I love the twist with Maxine turning out to be the unwitting perpetrator. It's so tragic that a good man, sadly with the wrong last name, is killed because of her failure to make sure all of her facts for her story were true before jumping at the chance to post it for her ambition and fame. But sadly, this happens more often in real life than we really realize. Not necessarily deaths, but good people's names being dragged through the mud when they're innocent, etc... I understand the reasons for the media and journalists, but they also make me really angry because they often care more about their story than who they hurt in the process of writing them. Which is why I also appreciate that this episode shows that Maxine feels badly for her mistakes and that she tries to make things right. Yes... It's true that she is too brazen throughout the entire episode. And to me, it's annoying how often she keeps putting herself in danger, especially to find the ledger. But I still really like her character. She reminds me a lot of Lois Lane from Superman. She acts just like Lois, and yet I find myself liking Maxine a lot more. I also love Reese seeing struggle to protect her while keeping himself undercover so that Maxine won't discover he's the "Man in the Suit", which I really love that by the end, she has come to believe he must really be just an urban legend like Reese tried to encourage her to believe, simply because Reese never reveals his true self to her, or slips up by appearing as her white knight. And I also love that Finch calls in Zoe Morgan once again to help them, especially to help Reese look better on his date when he really struggles to impress Maxine at first. It's always good to see Zoe Morgan, and other past numbers come back! I love her! And yes... I absolutely love the unspoken attraction between Reese and Zoe! :) Next... I really enjoy Fusco's storyline throughout this episode as he continues to struggle with his cover in HR, and being forced to protect Simmons in order to keep his cover for Reese and Finch so they can eventually learn who is the head of HR, as well as to protect his son and himself from his son ever finding out the bad things Fusco has done. I feel so badly for Lionel. I absolutely love his character, pretty much as I love Reese and Finch too. I just wish that Fusco would trust in Reese more to help him out with Simmons. After all... Reese even tells Fusco early in this episode that he has his back. I understand Fusco's fear and his hesitation even now, but Reese does truly have his back. And lastly... I love the big reveal in the end upon discovering who is really the Head of HR... Alonso Quinn himself. We haven't seen his character at all before this episode, and yet I love this big reveal. Because I didn't suspect him at all either. But he's dangerous, and he has himself set up in the perfect positions to be the Head of HR for sure. Not good. Overall... I really enjoy this episode a lot, and as always, your reactions too! I continue to look forward to many more. :) Thank you so much, Jessie! Until next time... Sincerely, Heidi
