Forty-nine shows. The episode begins with Rachel singing "Wake Me Up" by Avicii. The song's message is saying that even though one can be living their dream, they might want to explore into finding new dreams. Rachel claims that she wants to move on to television. Lucky for her, a Fox casting director comes to her with a new show entitled "Songs for Sondheim."
Rachel claims she needs this role. Her best buddy Kurt is telling her that nobody that has been successful on Broadway has left a show after six weeks. Rachel of course, being persistent as always, decides she has to go to this audition.
She determines a way to tell her director that her understudy needs to go on. She then lies to him and tells him she has the flu, hopping on the next flight to Los Angeles.
At her audition, Rachel sings a beautiful ballad of Bette Middler's "The Rose." Obviously, in television "dramadies," something has to go wrong. Rachel makes a complete fool out of herself and the directors tell her that the role she is auditioning for is about a sci-fi show. Rachel is uninterested and purposely flunks her audition. She then receives a call saying her understudy is hurt and she has to come to the show. She knows she won't make it home in time and calls Kurt, freaking out.
Santana saved the day and went on as Fanny.
Rachel emailed her director and told him about her lie. Rachel then has a meeting with her director and he says that he would fire her, if she wasn't this incredibly talented, and all the show had left.
The episode ends with the casting director calling Rachel and informing her that she didn't get the role (obviously.) But, he offers her a new television show, revolving around her, and…. filmed in NYC!
