Didn't see this posted yet, but maybe I'm the only one still watching? The end of last night's ep was kinda...creepy? I don't get Derek's obession with Karen.
Cause I know some people have quit watching but still like to know the major plot points:
*Derek signed on to direct Hit List
*Tom is flopping all over as a director, mainly due to having to start from scratch because Derek had not yet signed the contract to allow Bombshell to use his old choreography
*Jerry got busted for working with that sneak Ellis, and also for not even giving Derek the contract to sign because he wanted him to come back.
*Ivy and JustJack decided they hate the show they are in (Liaisons, not Smash) and so they just decided to go crazy and have fun with the show since it was probably closing immediately.
*Karen finally realized she's not anyone's Marilyn, especially Tom's version, and quit Bombshell to work on Hit List.
*Ivy's show closed, freeing her up to come back to Bombshell as Marilyn.
*Julia was there, mostly just whining about the same old thing (how her old script was better.) But she did get Derek to sign the contract releasing his choreography ideas.
*Derek and Jimmy had a creepy pissing match at the end about who gets to be more obsessed with Karen. Derek won.

thank god ivy will finally be marilyn like she deserves
they just keep mentioning the shady shit he did last season
Like nearing the end of S1, I found the show to be exhausting to watch
Karen was all insecure about Ivy, so she suggested to Derek about not renewing Ivy's contract when the show was up and running. Ivy got let go. She got another job in a different show, but it's terrible and she hates it. Sean Hays from Will & Grace plays the star of that show, and he's crazy and off his meds and terrible.
Derek was also supposed to direct a version of The Wiz starring Jennifer Hudson's character on Broadway, but then all these actresses started coming out accusing him of sexual harassment so he got fired from that.
In the midst of all this, everyone realized Julia's book for the show sucks, so they hired this professional hot guy to come in and punch it up. He and Julia fought back and forth and that made her write her best book ever, but Jerry hates it because it won't put asses in the seats, so he demanded they use an old book Ellis gave him and Julia hasn't shut up about it since. She whined more about that than she did about finding out her husband was cheating on her and left her.
Karen went into a bar and met these two guys, one of whom is Jeremy Jordan, and they are writing the next Rent type musical. So she's been helping them out to get their show off the ground and now she is going to star in it. And she kind of has a back and forth flirtation with Jeremy Jordan.
That's the major stuff, anyway. Derek quit Bombshell cause he hates everyone involved, and Karen just quit cause Tom doesn't worship her.
It sounds like a cold mess.
Come on! It feels like the dynamic's been the same since S2E1.

"Ce N'est Pas Ma Faute" was kind of weirdly awesome; if this show embraced camp and humor more often it'd be awesome. And Hit List (I finally remembered the name!) still seems like a moronic emo Rent knockoff to me, but I am totally downloading that "Rewrite" song because that was a good jam.
Also: desperately hoping Derek's "you want some of this?" and offering the terrible coffee to the little kid was an ad-lib. <3
