Bradley's return to UBN was because of the secret informant who made her aware of the Wolf River story in The Morning Show season 4. From episode 1, she has been working with Chip to unravel the mysterious case to understand who put an end to such pressing news at their company.

After gaining information from Claire and other prominent characters relevant to the case, Chip learnt about Ethan, the lawyer who was helping the victims of the Wolf River tragedy. He was also driven to bring the evil deeds to the public's attention. However, he died by suicide before anything could be done. This put Bradley and Chip on the search for more information on the lawyer.

Ashley from Eagle News had just the resources they needed, and Bradley sought the help of Alex to get her hands on them. Once Bradley received the documents, she found that it was Earl, Cory's fixer, who gave all the dirt on Ethan to Eagle News. This becomes a huge revelation in the series, proving that Cory was the one who killed the Wolf River story at the company on Fred's instruction.

Bradley and Chip's shocking discovery proved that Cory had a big role to play in the mysterious case they were handling. While the episode ended with this revelation, how things would unfold further will be explored in the next episode.
