Smoltz goes to Alexis and says he has a story she will definitely want to be the first to print. However, he has barely gotten out the explanation of the article when Carly walks in and tells Alexis she should think twice about running that article. Carly tells Smoltz she will sue him for every dime he will ever make if he runs that story. Alexis asks to speak to Carly in private. Carly asks Alexis if she is seriously thinking about running the story and Alexis says yes. Carly looks shocked but then Alexis explains her line of thinking. Alexis says that if she runs the story first, she can frame the narrative and be more sensitive to the story than another publication would be. Alexis says she doesn’t even have to mention Josslyn or Cameron’s name if they don’t want her to. However, she thinks this is the perfect way for Josslyn and Cameron to be able to speak out in public for the first time and really explain to the public what this invasion of privacy has been like and the damage that has been done to their college careers and their reputations. Alexis agrees that if Josslyn and Cameron want her to table the story she will, but she feels that would be a huge mistake. Carly agrees to call Josslyn and ask how she wants to proceed.
