==Back Story==
Lea is from Michigan, growing up near the lake. She thinks her hometown is pretty. She doesn't mind sitting by the lake in March because she's used to the cold. She is close with her parents and goes back to visit them.
She came down to Columbus for college, enrolling at The Ohio State University, which she considers a solid school. Her parents didn't approve of her college choice, being big football fans and considering OSU their rivals. Lea is happy for the opportunity in Columbus, and being in the right place at the right time, gets a job working for Morning Show under a woman she has admired for a while, Shelly Meyers ("Merry F***ing Christmas").
==The Intern==
Lea's first day as an intern is December 24, 2019. As the show is being broadcast, she sees an email come into the To-Do folder on the station computer. Without reading it, she passes the message to Pat Shock, who reads it on-air. It turns out to be a job offer for Shelly Meyers, not meant for public distribution.
Despite this mess-up, Lea goes to the bar with the staff for their Christmas party, apologizing and accepting her punishment. She even tries to ask Shelly for career advice, though Shelly only replies angrily. Lea does make a friend that day in Kev Blair, the bartender ("Merry F***ing Christmas").
Under new producer Mike Pitz, Lea is often left to do most of the work on Morning Show, as Mike is frequently out. Lea is supportive of Pat, but less so of Gus, who keeps messing up her name on purpose. She is pragmatic about how the tension between Gus and Pat helps the show, though. Lea begins a sexual relationship with Pat as he drifts apart from Gus and Shelly. She lets Pat pick whether to take her from below or behind ("Tear Down").
