Two episodes in, and 'Alaska Daily' continues to go strong as it follows a reporter who moves from New York to Anchorage to restart her journalism career, despite her successful run. The pilot sees her get disgruntled after an expose goes woefully wrong and that she's subject to re-reporting the scoop. Hilary Swank's Eileen Fitzgerald is a seasoned reporter for The Vanguard but now starts off at The Daily Alaskan taking on a cold case.

There were enough challenges established in the pilot already. If it was the challenge of moving places in the first place, Eileen's arrival is not well received by her colleagues who find her to be a hotshot and a lone wolf. While she quickly makes friends and earns their trust, there are still curveballs to fend off, and a panic attack issue that puts her in jeopardy.

When will 'Alaska Daily' Episode 3 come out on ABC?

'Alaska Daily' Episode 2 releases in the US on Thursday, October 20, at 10 pm ET/PT on ABC.

What to expect from 'Alaska Daily' Episode 3?

Titled 'It's Not Personal', the official logline of Episode 3 reads, "Eileen, Roz, and Sylvie travel to Meade to learn more about a suspect in Gloria's case and connect with the local police chief; Austin learns about a political candidate's murky financial ties." Much like Episodes 1 and 2, the latest also sees one more reporter in the newsroom work on a case of his own that may connect to the larger picture. This also suggests that while the death of Gloria Nanmac is the key case, there are multiple plotlines that eventually connect to her death in some way.

For those yet to watch the series, the official synopsis reads, "From the mind of Tom McCarthy (Spotlight), Alaska Daily stars Hilary Swank as Eileen Fitzgerald, a fiercely talented and award-winning investigative journalist who leaves her high-profile New York life behind after a fall from grace to join a daily metro newspaper in Anchorage on a journey to find both personal and professional redemption. Tom McCarthy is the creator and executive producer. Hilary Swank, Melissa Wells, Bert Salke, Kyle Hopkins (Anchorage Daily News), Ryan Binkley (Anchorage Daily News), and Peter Elkoff, who will also serve as showrunner, are executive producers on the series. The pilot episode is written and directed by Tom McCarthy."
