Apple TV+ Announces New Drama ‘Lessons in Chemistry’

According to an Apple TV+ press release:

When Elizabeth finds herself pregnant, alone and fired from her lab, she musters the ingenuity only a single mother has. She accepts a job as a host on a TV cooking show, and sets out to teach a nation of overlooked housewives – and the men who are suddenly listening – a lot more than recipes … all the while craving a return to her true love: science.

“…may have saw”? I’m not going to be the Grammar Police here, but that’s pretty egregious.
Apologies, I must have spent too much time at the County Fair this weekend ;).
