Backfire
Directed by Mike ListoWritten by David Guggenheim
An investigative journalist (Rob Morrow) shocks the White House when he reveals classified information during a press briefing; Hannah discovers a connection between MacLeish and the conspiracy.
Tropes for the episode:
- Expy: Teen Mode is an obvious stand in for Teen Vogue, a mag that surprised everyone by promoting critical thinking after the Trump election.
- Shout-Out: the magazine Abe Leonard works for, Teen Mode, is the same magazine that was featured on Ugly Betty
