–Smash does a great job of displaying real-world jobs, and the mistakes that adults make in them.
-How will Ivy deal with her mother being in Bombshell?
-Ana is a great performer, but “If I Were a Boy” only “whelmed” us.
-Their sexual tension is finally released as Karen and Jimmy ATTACK each other (in a good way) at the end of the episode.
-News: Debra Messing signs on as a lead for a CBS pilot, Leslie Odom Jr. sings Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors,” and he tweets “I’m back for good.”
