Eager to get new talent off the ground, Karen is persistent with Derek about Jimmy and Kyle's new musical. Though he's a fan of the music, Derek's reluctant to touch anything so early in its brainstorming stages, but Karen convinces him to meet with Jimmy and Kyle. In her office, Eileen sits Tom and Julia down to inform them that a professional dramaturg, Peter, will be working with them to help breathe life into Bombshell's book. There will be no ifs, ands or buts, and their first meeting is set for this afternoon. Derek pays Veronica a visit. When she mentions that the producers on her upcoming show "The Wiz" haven't yet found a director who can deliver the excitement she's hoping for, Derek asks if she'd be willing to stage a scene. Yes, it will be an audition - of sorts.
