Instead of a new equilibrium, Deborah and Ava have both reached new lows this season. One of them (Deborah) has indulged—and reveled—in more bad behavior than the other, but they’ve both been active participants in this race to the bottom. Ava followed up blackmail with a little more blackmail, convinced she could adopt Deborah’s tactics without losing herself, or, through all the concessions she’s made to her writing staff, at least achieve the karmic equivalent of carbon offsetting.

15 years and a couple of owners since we launched it, we’ve now reached the 10th season of A.V. Undercover. Our beloved music series has undergone a few transformations, but this year, we once again asked our readers for song suggestions, and you really delivered.

If only they could confront some of these obstacles, like needling network notes, as a united front—instead, they still need an HR chaperone just to discuss said notes.

We’re getting ready to kick off a new season of A.V. Undercover, and as usual, we need your help. But before we get to the song suggestions, I wanted to share some background on the revival so far, as well as what it will look like this year. As you probably noticed, season nine wasn’t as fulsome as previous installments. The spirit was willing, but the recording space was lacking: Unlike during the original run of the series, we no longer have a dedicated studio (no round or even square rooms).
