Murphy worries as Avery ran off to Afghanistan, while Phyllis celebrates New Year’s at Phil’s with some special guests.

Old News
Roz: This show has always been good about using the news, and current figures to its advantage. To see both Lawrence O’Donnell and Andrea Mitchell was a nice nod to this news.
Cara: I enjoyed the nods to bipartisan comraderie and traditional journalism in this episode. Miles’ New Years kiss was a little bit of a cliche gimmick, and I’d really like one of the men on this show to have a romantic moment with someone within at least a decade of their own age. I did enjoy Julius and Pat catching it on video, modernizing the moment.
New News
Roz: I’m so happy that Pat and Julius might be hooking up after that party ends. They’re both so fabulous and I think they finally realized it. Corky’s plan to be alone with VP Pence was also priceless.
Cara: I loved Corky’s commitment to her goal, and it was a very important question that I’d like to see answered in the real world. I have loved seeing Murphy and Avery interact, and this was especially sweet.
