Look, it's back!

I can never figure out if Smash really thinks Karen is amazing and perfect or not. Because the thing is, they portray Ivy so sympathetically 95% of the time, but on the other hand it doesn't make a ton of sense to me for a show to go "Actress A has a Special Quality that makes her perfect for the role, and look at all the obstacles in the way! Think about how hard it is to be taken seriously for a job when you have no experience, when you'd be so great at it. Even her parents only tolerate her dream, rather than all-out supporting it. But look at poor Actress B! She's perfect for the role except for her lack of Special Quality (take our word for it if you can't see she lacks it), and she has some real emotional problems. The director's having sex with her (using her) while pushing for A, which makes him terrible - but don't doubt his opinion of A! Root for A! But also root for B! But they can never both be happy." WHAT DO YOU WANT, SHOW???
