The second season of the hit musical drama series Smash begins with an episode entitled On Broadway, which sees the show's central characters returning from a tumultuous first season. With the arrival of a new musical, Bombshell, set to open on Broadway, the pressure is on for the cast and crew to deliver a smashing performance that will keep audiences coming back for more.

As the episode begins, viewers are reintroduced to some of their favorite characters, including Broadway veteran Derek Wills (Jack Davenport), composer Tom Levitt (Christian Borle), producer Eileen Rand (Anjelica Huston), and performer Ivy Lynn (Megan Hilty). But there are also some fresh faces in the mix, such as Broadway newcomer Karen Cartwright (Katharine McPhee) who stirs up some tension with Ivy.

The episode opens with a flashy number that previews the musical within the show, Bombshell. The number features a number of cast members, including Hilty and McPhee, as they belt out the show's titular song. It's a glitzy display of showmanship, and it sets the tone for the rest of the episode.

As the cast and crew prepare for opening night, tensions are high. Derek is struggling with the demands of being a director, while Tom is having trouble composing the show's musical score. Meanwhile, Eileen is dealing with financial troubles thanks to her ex-husband's embezzlement, which threatens to derail the production altogether.

There are also some romantic entanglements at play, as Ivy and Karen vie for the affections of leading man Jimmy Collins (Jeremy Jordan). And there are plenty of behind-the-scenes squabbles, as different members of the cast and crew jockey for control over various aspects of the production.

Throughout the episode, viewers are treated to an array of musical numbers that showcase the incredible talent of the show's cast. There are soaring ballads, upbeat dance numbers, and everything in between. The performances are seamlessly integrated into the show's plot, and they serve to highlight the passion and energy that goes into putting on a Broadway production.

As opening night approaches, the tension only builds. There are wardrobe malfunctions, technical glitches, and all manner of setbacks that threaten to derail the show. But the cast and crew persevere, determined to give their all for the sake of the production.

Ultimately, the episode ends on a high note, with the cast and crew receiving a standing ovation from the audience. It's a triumphant moment, and it sets the stage for the rest of the season, which promises to be full of drama, heartache, and plenty of show-stopping musical numbers.
