Many in the company are in awe of working on a project with such a big star. But Rebecca turns out to be less than the perfect leading lady for this project: she isn't a strong singer, and her many demands include having more book and less song in the production. The creative team have to decide how to deal with Rebecca, which may work to Ivy's benefit. Ivy is hoping that Rebecca crashes and burns so that she can work her way back into the lead role. This situation brings her together with Karen in an interesting meeting point. Meanwhile, some relationships are flourishing while others are floundering. Karen and Dev seem to be drifting apart as Dev deals with not getting the press secretary job, which he has yet to tell Karen. He seems to feel more comfortable talking to R.J. about his problems. With a little help from Julia, Tom and Sam embark on the start of their relationship. It ends up being a little different than what Tom had expected, but it gives him some time for self-reflection on why he has never been in a long term relationship. Julia and Frank have to work together to deal with former A-student Leo, who is now failing in a few subjects. Julia and Frank have different approaches in dealing with the issue. Eileen decides to confront at least the issue of Nick in moving forward personally and professionally. And Ellis, in a so-called personal relationship solely to advance his career, makes a misstep which takes him one step backward. Written by Huggo See less
