Ep 3. Blind Items

In Daytime Divas season 1 episode 3, titled "Blind Items," the ladies of "The Lunch Hour" deal with the consequences of their actions as they await the announcement of the Daytime Emmy nominations.

At the start of the episode, we see Mo dealing with the fallout of her secret getting out to the press. She tries to keep a brave face on camera, but off camera, she's an emotional wreck. Heather, on the other hand, is basking in the glow of being the front-runner for the Best Supporting Actress Emmy nomination. However, despite her outward confidence, she's plagued by guilt over what she did to Mo.

Meanwhile, Maxine is having issues of her own as pictures of her drinking at a party surface on the internet. Her publicist urges her to take responsibility and make a heartfelt apology, but Maxine is more interested in finding out who leaked the photos and exacting revenge.

As the ladies wait for the nominations to be announced, they're hit with a series of "blind items" being published in the media. These items refer to anonymous sources who claim to have insider knowledge of the show and the cast. The ladies are outraged and begin to suspect each other of being the source of the leaks.

The tension between the ladies comes to a head when Nina Garcia, the show's executive producer, confronts them about the blind items and warns them that the negative publicity could jeopardize their chances of getting Emmy nominations. As they argue, the nominations are finally announced, and the ladies are left to deal with the fallout.

Overall, "Blind Items" is a tense and dramatic episode that explores the power of the media and the danger of secrets being exposed. The women of "The Lunch Hour" are forced to confront their own morality and question who they can trust as they navigate the cutthroat world of daytime television.
