> but had to immediately demote the new CEO (Mira) after she rejected their plan

According to reports, Mira was informed of the decision to fire Sam the night before Sam was fired. There's no indication she was against it and she also didn't inform Sam. So, I don't get this "she rejected their plan".

If the board informed her they were going to fire Sam, it seems logical that they also informed her they were going to give her the interim CEO position. I have no knowledge of this (it just kind of makes sense to me).

That may have revolved around the fact that there was no valid reason that they could put up to defend the firing. After all, if they had then she may well have stayed on board, the same goes for CEO #3.

That still doesn't address the specific issue I was responding to.

Are you saying they told Mira they were going to fire Sam and they didn't give her a reason but she was still okay with it?

Either that or they told her that they had good reasons that would be revealed in time.

Mira immediately started trying Sam back. [1]

If that's not rejecting the board's plans, I don't know what is.
