Relations between Karen (Katharine McPhee), Jimmy (Jeremy Jordan) and Derek (Jack Davenport) explode just as Hit List's rehearsal process nears its close. 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."
