Savannah Guthrie made her return to Today on May 7 following an unexpected short departure from the show amid an ongoing probe for her missing mother Nancy Guthrie.
During the Thursday morning broadcast, Guthrie appeared composed while discussing the Legally Blonde prequel series, Elle.
While Guthrie did not provide an explanation for her absence from Wednesday's show, her co-anchor Craig Melvin informed viewers that she had to 'leave a little early' and would 'be right back here tomorrow.'
Guthrie's brief departures occur during a challenging period for the journalist, who has been dealing with the disappearance of her mother.
Internet users and viewers speculated if her abrupt departure during the broadcast was due to an emergency concerning her mother, but it was said that the reason was not significant, leading to further inquiries.
