Smash when is season 2

Derek follows her into the hallway, and she asks if he and Marilyn 3 are together. Come on, Iowa! But what Ivy does next makes up for her unfortunate choice of location. You should. Good luck. Marilyn 1. Cut, print… moving on. We should talk… S. Karen, meanwhile, heads back to Table 46, where she mournfully nurses a drink until the wee hours.

After some more prickly banter with Jimmy, she asks the other bartender, a kind-eyed guy named Kyle, if his coworker is always such a d-bag. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to our new leading dude. Do you like? And I miss you terribly. And Leo is spoken of but never seen, as God and nature intended. If you have: Heeeeee. This will be important in episode 2. Sounds like a [title of show] fan.

He passes along a song his partner scribbled on a few Table 46 menus and urges Karen to get someone to play it for her. Uh-oh — does Karen watch Girls? The theater legend stops him on the street and starts fishing for Bombshell gossip. In turn, Tom tries to save face by saying fibbing that he and Julia are giving a speech at the gala.

Or, as Harvey Fierstein would say, [unintelligible croaking sound]. Tom arrives home and hesitantly starts to tell Julia about his fib.

Oh no, this is just like the plot of every sitcom ever! Can he please become a series regular? After that humiliating encounter, Julia is furious at Tom. Just scarves! Hoo boy. Yay for Ivy growing back her spine! Karen brings her crew of theater gazelles to a mysterious land known as Greenpoint, Brooklyn, where Jimmy and Kyle are throwing an awesome hipster party in their ginormous apartment. Only one of them may be successful. Jerry has taken production control of "Bombshell" away from Eileen because of her legal issues, although she and the show's cast and crew are unaware that he orchestrated the publicizing of her illegalities with Ellis' help.

Eileen tries to figure out a way to remain part of the production team while not kowtowing to Jerry. Regardless, there will be no show if Julia can't provide a satisfactory rewrite, her job being on the line. Julia is excited about her latest draft, which was developed with Peter's help, leading up to its official read-through, that is until Tom S2, Ep6. With "Bombshell", Eileen, who had the tie breaking vote - with Julia and Derek on one side, and Jerry and Tom on the other - decides to go with Jerry and Tom and go with an earlier, more commercial book draft rather than Julia's latest draft, which she and Derek feel is the best work she's ever done.

In addition, Jerry wants to cut S2, Ep7. Tom has been appointed director of "Bombshell" after Derek leaves the show.

But Tom's style and vision doesn't mesh with Karen, with who the rapport becomes quietly but openly strained. In addition, Tom doesn't feel he can use Derek's choreography, and as such the new dance numbers are insipid, especially in Jerry's eyes. Eileen works behind the scenes to regain legal production control from Jerry, but even if she does achieve this goal, it may be too late for Tom, who may be fired by Jerry, especially as he still wants Derek back at the helm.

Jerry's wish may become S2, Ep8. The level of collaboration at "Bombshell" and "Hit List" are taking divergent paths. Derek has his big budget sensibility in directing "Hit List" and is able to stick to his vision within the limited budget. However, that vision doesn't sit well with Jimmy, who voices his opposition. Their relationship is further negatively affected by Derek's hands off statement concerning Karen, who doesn't know why Jimmy has not approached her romantically.

On the other hand, Tom, now the director of "Bombshell", wants to please everyone, especially his new star Ivy, by listening S2, Ep9. Karen and Jimmy's first night together is cut short by the arrival of her father, in town for a conference. Beyond believing that Karen is in a sexual relationship with Derek, he can't get over the fact that she left "Bombshell", a Broadway show, for experimental theater. His demeanor toward Karen and the men in her life is based on this perspective.

Specifically with Jimmy, he may not be able to outrun his past, which he'd rather forget, as he becomes more famous. Meanwhile, Ivy is having parent issues of her own, with her Broadway diva mother, Leigh Conroy, coming S2, Ep Personal relations between Tom and Ivy are still strained, into which Ivy brings the cast onto her side.

Wanting to mend their friendship, Tom, at the last minute as he reminded of the date, asks his friend and Ivy's idol Liza Minnelli to provide a surprise to Ivy for her birthday later that evening. Beyond Ivy already having made arrangements with her cast mates to celebrate her birthday without Tom, the evening has the potential to be a disaster for all concerned, which includes Eileen and Richard, who are testing the waters of a personal relationship.

Meanwhile, Jimmy and Karen Both "Bombshell" and "Hit List" have important upcoming full run throughs. A multitude of technical problems in the "Bombshell" "friends and family" performance may end up delaying the first preview show, which Tom wants to avoid at all cost as he sees a delay in preview as a public declaration of failure. Sean Hayes, Jesse L. Martin, Daniel Sunjata and Grace Gummer guest star. Derek Jack Davenport learns more about Jimmy's past just as the public sees their first piece of "Hit List.

With guest star Liza Minnelli in tow, Tom Christian Borle plans a surprise for Ivy Megan Hilty in an attempt to find a balance between their work life and their friendship.

While Richard guest star Jamey Sheridan asks Eileen Anjelica Huston to spend less time at work and more time with him, Julia Debra Messing finds herself also pulled away from "Bombshell" by an unlikely source. As Tom Christian Borle and Julia Debra Messing race to ready "Bombshell" for previews, Tom's eagerness to prove himself may not be the best thing for the show. It's "Bombshell's" opening night.

As Ivy's Megan Hilty nerves get the better of her, support comes from an unlikely source. Tom Christian Borle and Julia's Debra Messing partnership is strained to the breaking point just as Ivy Megan Hilty , Eileen Anjelica Huston , and the entire "Bombshell" team are running themselves ragged to outshine the competition. An unexpected event bonds both "Bombshell" and "Hit List.

The cast of "Hit List" is rocked by a betrayal close to home. It's a crucial moment for both shows as Tony nominations loom, but keeping your eye on the prize can be hard. On Tony night, the awards might not provide the answers everyone is looking for. Part 1 of 2. Part 2 of 2.
