Claudia and Todd are getting ready for rehearsal and Todd is all nervous and dropping his bow. Claudia tells him not to worry because he's perfect for "the job" and asks who else could do it. Todd suggests Martin and Claudia says, "Mmm, Mr. Monobrow." I'm not sure what his hirsute nature has to do with his ability to play an instrument, but Claude would know better than I would. Claudia says that Martin doesn't have Todd's "bow control, vibrato or phrasing." Todd thanks her, but points out that she has to say that because it's in the "girlfriend handbook." Claudia protests that she's not just saying it, that it's true, and that he should feel good about getting first chair because he deserves it. The conductor comes in and Todd drops a major hint about first chair being a tough decision. The conductor agrees that it is, but that lately "she's stood out." Claudia looks stunned and Todd repeats, "'She'?" The conductor says that Claudia will be first chair starting tomorrow on "the jingle session," and then he leaves. Todd turns to Claudia and weakly says, "Way to go." He was going for supportive but took a wrong turn at jealous and ended up at lame.
Julia carries two mugs towards Adam, who is sleeping in the bed. She jiggles him with her foot and tells him to wake up because she "made lattes," but he shouldn't worry because hers is decaf. Adam is supposed to be so poor, and yet he has a cappuccino maker? Adam turns over and he's all sweaty. Yuck. Julia tells him he needs the latte because he's about to pass out. Adam's all "So?" and Julia tells him he can't sleep because she's wide awake and clearly it's all about her. She would be the most annoying girlfriend. She's so high-maintenance. Adam hopes she's not thinking about "more sex," and Julia says she feels like talking. Adam tells her that the last few hours have been incredible, and Julia giggles and says, "Me too!" like did I really need to know that? No, I did not. Adam says, "Every cell in [his] body is screaming for sleep." Julia tells him she will talk and he can listen. Adam asks, "With my eyes open?" Julia starts babbling about her story and then gets up and runs over to the laptop to start typing while Adam rolls over to go back to sleep. Julia has man hands, doesn't she?
Bailey walks into Holly's apartment where there are clothes strewn all over the furniture and floors. Fiona walks out and says hello and Bailey is relieved because he thought the place got robbed. Fiona tells him that she is working on her creations and drapes a feather boa around Bailey's neck. Bailey says, "'Creations'?" like it's not obvious from all the clothing. Fiona states the obvious, that she is working on a fashion line. Bailey wonders what kind of fashion and Fiona is taken aback, because in case you didn't get it, she is a bit flighty. She recovers quickly, because she's plucky, and tells Bailey she is creating "professional omniwear" and holds up a dress that is neither professional nor something that all people could wear. She talks more about her proposed line, saying that is appropriate in all types of settings and made of fabric that you can wear indoors or out. Unlike the tissue paper clothes the rest of us wear, that are only appropriate indoors and would melt off if worn in the rain. Bailey says, "What is that, rubber?" but he tries to be game, because Fiona is charming. Well, some would say she's overbearing, but it is his girlfriend's sister, and since he had such bad luck with Sarah's family maybe he learned his lesson about sucking up to relatives. Fiona says if she gets enough of her clothes in boutiques by summertime, she could finance a trip to Milan for the fall fashion shows to launch her line, "FBE." Bailey inquires as to what that stands for and she says, "Fiona. Baggins. Europe." And points out that it's like DKNY only larger. Bailey doesn't want to burst her deluded bubble, so he just smiles and says, "Why not?" Then the walls start falling down, thanks to the actress who is playing Fiona, and her scenery-shredding performance. Holly walks in and is dismayed that her apartment is trashed. She starts to yell at her sister, but realizes it's futile and just walks into the bedroom. Bailey follows her. Fiona holds up the dress and says, "Milan!"
