(sighing)
Incredible.

Last night he dreamed
about making eggs.

And now he's making eggs.

I hang out with Jay
in his dreams sometimes.

And I flew to Geneva last week.

We all have our powers.

Oh, gosh.
Didn't see you there, Hetty.

Sorry.
(grumbles)

Jay, guess what.

Somebody wants to rent out
the ballroom, and this time

it's not people
who want to shoot a porno.

I still think you should
have let that play out.

The script was good.

That's incredible.
Who wants to rent it out?

The Hudson Valley Players.

They're the premier
community theater organization

in all of Ulster County.

Recently nominated for a Toby.

You mean a Tony?
Oh, similar,

but these are just
for the Hudson Valley,

and the winners are chosen
by a guy named Toby.

Sounds prestigious.

Anyway, they needed a venue
for their fall musical,

and all of the good ones
were taken, so they chose us.

They're doing Cole Porter's
Anything Goes.

Oh, I knew Cole.

Had a big thing for me.
Practically obsessed.

Wasn't he, like, famously gay?

You couldn't just
let me have that, Trev?

Wait, Sam, wasn't
Anything Goes the musical

you were almost in
in high school?

Some people say listening
is my real ghost power.

I was tech crew.
Should have been the lead,

but, you know, politics.

Oh, yeah, you got robbed, babe.

Okay, that felt obligatory.

JAY:
And I heard the lighting

was the best part of the show
that year.

Ugh. So patronizing.

This is getting sad.

? ?

? ?

Is that your contractor?

SAMANTHA: Yeah. He's one
of the Hudson Valley Players.

People are still buzzing

about his performance
in Rent last year.

There's Toby talk.

Oh, this takes me back.
(laughs)

I miss being
around show business.

Or, you know, whatever this is.

Hey, Mark. Looking good.
Uh, listen, when you're done,

I think there's an issue
with the walk-in freezer.

Jay, if I could just stop you.
When I'm in this space,

I'm not your contractor.
I'm an artist.

Yeah. For sure.
It's just that the restaurant

opens in a few weeks...

Shh.

This is a sacred space.

Okay.

Are you guys
seeing that talent?

Wouldn't mind if a stage light
fell on her, am I right?

Who is she?

("If You Were Here"
by Thompson Twins playing)

? If you were here. ?

Oh, yeah. In the cult,
she would have been

a top five wife for Bruce,
for sure.

Which means she would have
gotten carrots with dinner.

Carrots should be for everybody.

Oh, Pete.

Bruce warned us
about people like you.

Wow. This is a
pretty nice spread.

You think this is impressive?

This is nothing compared
to what we had

on the set of L&O.

Law and Order.

You were on Law and Order?

SCOTT:
Not in the final cut, but...

yeah, I was there.

They called it craft services.

And it offered every culinary
creation under the sun.

Hot foods,

cold foods,

gum.

Oh, uh, this is my husband Jay.

Jay, this is Scott Morgan.

Two-time Toby-nominated
director.

And assistant sales manager
at Davenport Chevrolet.

Oh, I'm not really
in the market.

That's what everyone says

until they feel the smooth
ride of the new Malibu.

I'm so sorry, Scott.

I have something
you need to see.

ISAAC:
Hamilton used to wear a lot of scarves.

Turns out he was covering up
adulterous hickeys.

(chuckles)
That man frequented whores.

My friends.
Attention, please.

It is with a heavy heart
I must inform you

that our beloved leading lady
Brenda Hanover

is no longer with us.

(all gasping)

She was unable to secure

time off from her job at Lowe's

and is stepping down
from her role as Reno Sweeney.

He did not need to deliver
that information like that.

That is how you
milk a moment.

I could take the part.

Ooh, immediately
trying to take advantage

of someone else's misfortune.

(chuckles)
I like her.

Thank you, Marisa.

But it will be
an open competition.

We shall hold auditions

for the role
of Reno Sweeney Monday. Jay.

Huh?
I need to print

a sign-up sheet. Please,

take me to the
business center.

I... got a laptop
in the kitchen.

Then to the kitchen.

So, tell me, what are you
currently driving?

Sam, isn't Reno Sweeney the role
you wanted in high school?

You should audition.

Me? No. This isn't
some rinky-dink production.

This is
the Hudson Valley Players.

They performed at the mall.

Come on, Sam.
Do you know what I would give

for just one more minute
back in the spotlight?

This is your dream.

How are you just gonna stand
there and let it pass you by?

Look, I appreciate the support,
but I'm really not interested.

But, Sam...
I said no.

Okay? Just leave it alone.

I'm just saying, bring
that drama to the stage.

Mm.
(sighs)

ERNIE JOHNSON:
And now, this year's winner of the James Beard Award

for Best New Chef, Northeast...
Stop.

Jay Arondeker!

Here you go, Chef.

I just want to thank everyone
who believed in me.

And to my mom, Champa--
I owe everything to you.

AUDIENCE: Aw.
(orchestral begins playing)

Seriously?
Walk-off music?

This is my dream.

Right this way, Mr. Arondekar.

Hold up.
Isn't that the lady

from the community
theater group?

Interesting, Jay.

She just popped into my head.
(chuckles)

You can't control a pop.
People pop!

Hey, I'm Marisa.

Oh, uh... hi.

Sasappis.

You look good in a tux.
(weak chuckle)

What is happening?
You heard the music. Walk off, son.

(gasps)
Unless you want me to tell Sam that you didn't thank her.

This is so lame.

Again, my dream.

Your hair is amazing.

Never once used conditioner.

Yeah.
'Cause I died 500 years ago.

(laughs)

You're funny.
Oh.

Hi.
Hi.

Hi.

Hi. (chuckles)

(chuckles softly)

Hi.

ALBERTA:
Sam, what happened yesterday

with you storming off
like that?

I just didn't want to audition.

That's all.
I have a lot going on right now.

Yeah, it's true.
There was that guest last month.

And there's the weekly sorting
of the mail on Wednesdays.

And I'm trying
to support you, Sam,

but you have the calendar
of a retiree.

ALBERTA:
You know this role and you're dying to play it.

Hell, you would've played it
in high school

if it wasn't for politics.

Well, that's
not completely true.

I will be singing the song
"I Get A Kick Out of You."

(retches)
MAN: My pants!

So it wasn't politics.
I mean,

some of the puke splashed on

the student council president.

So that was sort of political.

I once vomited
in James Madison's carriage.

In fairness, we were
traversing a bumpy road

and I had just had
a pheasant pie.

It was humiliating.

After that, I moved
to tech crew and...

I've been terrified
to get on stage ever since.

Oh, Sam. you can't let
one bad performance

get in the way of your dreams.

Girl, I fell into the music
pit once at the Red Cat.

Got my head stuck in a tuba.

But was I back on stage
the next day?

Damn right I was.

Nursing a concussion

and drowning
in bathtub gin.

They said I gave
one hell of a show,

but I don't really remember.

But what if I audition
and things go

just as badly
as they did the last time?

ALBERTA:
You just need confidence.

And confidence is all about
feeling prepared.

Let me take you under my wing.

Alberta Haynes knows just
how to get you there.

You'd really do that for me?

I mean, I'm
pretty busy, but

I think I can
make some time.

Okay, what the heck?

Thanks, Alberta.
You're a good friend.

Hey. We're gonna
have a lot of fun.

(imitates alarm blaring)

W-What time is it?

It's time to get your ass
out of bed.

Your training starts now.

But it's 4:00 a.m.

That'll be ten more laps.

There's gonna be laps?
SASAPPIS: Hey.

Can you keep it down?

I'm trying to enter
your husband's dreams.

Sorry.
Thank you.

We all have to live here.

(sighs)

Hey, can I ask you
guys for advice?

Absolutely. Stay away
from the brown acid.

Thank you. But, uh,
it's more dating-related.

Okay.

Don't date any members
of Fleetwood Mac.

TREVOR:
Sass. What's going on?

Who are you dating?

Well, you actually know her.

Remember that hot
stretching lady

from the theater troupe, Marisa?

Wait, did a light
actually fall on her?

Was there any damage
to the punim?

She's not dead. Okay,

this is gonna sound
a little nuts,

but we hung out in Jay's dream.

So you're dating someone in
another person's subconscious?

I don't think
I've even gone there.

Yeah, this is a
little unorthodox.

Well, hey, he... the guy's
got limited options.

We're ghosts, we can't even
leave the property. Well...

Pete, no.
SASAPPIS: There's only one problem.

So, I went into Jay's dream
last night to see her again,

but she wasn't there.

It was just Jay
trapped in a walk-in freezer

with the '86 Mets.

Oh, well, that makes sense,
'cause he was talking to Mark

about the freezer
and then he watched

that baseball
documentary before bed. Yes.

You just need to get him
to think about Marisa

before he goes to sleep.

Yeah, just tell Sam
to ask her husband

to think about that hot,
bendy lady right before bed.

I might not
use those exact words.

Probably a good strategy.
Eh.

ALBERTA:
Sam, this is gonna be

the hardest day of your life.

I'm here to break you down

and build you back up again.

And why are they here?

We're bored.
And we believe in you and stuff.

So, what exactly
does this entail?

I'm gonna train your mind,
your body and your soul.

There will be moments
when you won't want to go on,

but go on you will.

By the time
I'm through with you,

you'll be so prepared,
you won't know how to fail.

Get her, Berty.

I mean, let's go, Sam!

Dancers need perfect posture.

Again.

And any actor worth her salt
can cry on cue.

Mm...
I don't see any tears.

Mm, this might help.

Your mother's dead and
your business is a failure!

Still no tears.
It was a good thought.

Yeah.

? La, la, la, la ?

? La, la, la, la... ?

Singing is about endurance
and breath control!

Let's expand
those lungs!

Can I have a water?
Of course you can,

in 80 more laps.
Ugh!

Ooh, gave her a little hope
and then snatched it away.

Well done.

(grunting)

How's it going
with Alberta, babe?

Well, I cried twice, but
not when I was supposed to.

Sam, I need you to get Jay
to dream about that Marisa girl

from the community theater
group again tonight.

Jay, did you have a dream
about that girl Marisa?

You can't control
a pop-in, okay?

Damn it, Sass.

Okay, a couple nights ago,

I was hanging out
in Jay's dream,

and Marisa popped in.

It was very innocent
on Jay's part,

but Marisa and I--

uh, we kind of hit it off.

Aw. Weird,
but aw.

The problem is--

and you'll like this--

Jay hasn't dreamed
about her since,

but I need him to

if I'm gonna hang out
with her again.

Larry Bird popped in last week.
(scoffs)

Don't have a thing for him.

Okay. So, what's the
action item here, Sass?

Okay, I need you
to encourage Jay

to think about Marisa
before he goes to sleep.

Obviously, that doesn't
guarantee an appearance,

but it's worth a shot.

Okay. Jay, before you
go to bed tonight,

I want you to think
about Marisa,

so Sass can hang out
with her again.

We're in weird territory here.

Yeah.

Let's get back to it, Sam!

We got 24 hours
till our big audition.

Alberta, I don't know
if this is going so well.

Sam, as bad as you're
feeling right now,

and as much as you're hurting,

it'll all be worth it
when you're up on that stage.

There's nothing in the world
like that feeling.

We can get there, Sam,

but I need you to believe
in yourself,

because I believe in you.
JAY: Sam,

where are all our plates?

("You're the Best"
by Joe Esposito playing)

(whoops) Go, Sam!

Yes, girl!

? Around ?

? Nothing's gonna ever
keep you down... ?

That's it.
You're doing it.

? Around ?

? Nothing's gonna ever
keep you down ?

? You're the best around... ?

(cheering)

She climbed three stairs.

And she's celebrating
like she's Ben Franklin

after he climbed three stairs.

(laughs)
He was portly.

? Nothing's gonna ever
keep you down. ?

Alberta's been so amazing, Jay.

I actually think
I could get this part.

Wouldn't that be incredible?

Huh? Oh, yeah.
That'd be awesome, babe.

Okay, I know I asked you

to look at
Marisa's Instagram,

but spring break
2018?

It's for Sass.

Why are you all zoomed in?

Well, I-I wanted to avoid

any of her sorority sisters
popping in. (scoffs)

For Sass.

ALBERTA:
Guys,

we have a big problem.

I just came from
the ballroom,

I saw Marisa warming up.

Sam's competition for that role.
Ooh-wee!

She got a voice of an angel.

Well, I guess Sam will
just have to give it her best.

That's all you can do.

No, it's not all we can do,
you peace-loving freak.

We've come too far
and we're too close.

I ain't gonna let
this part get away.

It's time for Berty
to play dirty.

Guess who saw
his dream girl last night?

All right!
Awesome, man. Give us some deets.

Aw, we just hung out and talked.

She's got a lot
of fun interests.

Very into superheroes.
PETE: Huh.

That's unexpected.
Yeah.

And big Star Wars girl, too.

And sneakers.
She loves sneakers.

And the New York Knicks.

Oh, boy.
What?

Is her favorite restaurant Sonic
and does she love D&D?

Yes on both counts.

Those are all
Jay's interests.

You're not dating Marisa, Sass.

You're dating Jay.

(laughing): No, no, no.

It does make a lot of sense.
I mean, she exists

entirely in Jay's subconscious.

Okay, you guys are just jealous
because I found someone.

If anything, I'm jealous
that you're dating Jay.

D-Did he mention me?
I mean, did...

Sorry, did she mention me?

I'm not dating Jay, okay?

Marisa is her own person
who has her own cool interests.

How many times did she reference
The Shawshank Redemption?

Oh, my God, I'm dating Jay.

Red leather, yellow leather,
lavender leather.

Red leather, yellow
leather, lavender leather.

What animal makes
lavender leather, I wonder?

Hm. Hippopotamus dries
to a purplish hue.

We had an ottoman.

Oh, a "hippopottoman."
That's fun. (chuckles)

Ten minutes, Samantha.
I'll see you in the ballroom.

You have one chance to wow
me and one chance only,

because I have
Chevrolets to sell.

You're gonna get that promotion.
I need less from you, Jeff.

(sighs) Great note.

How you feeling, Sam?
Like a star?

I'm ready. (chuckles)

I know my tap routine,
my song. I got this.

Awesome. Now, Alberta,
when do I walk through Marisa?

What?

Oh, Alberta told me
to walk through your competition

so she'd get super high
and mess up. (weak chuckle)

There goes our girl again.

What else did she say?
Oh, yeah, don't tell Sam.

But you said you believed in me.
ALBERTA: I do.

It's just a little
insurance policy.

Yeah, because you didn't think
I could do it on my own.

I can't believe this.
I thought you were my friend.

(both gasp)
HETTY: In retrospect,

perhaps not the best
idea to entrust Flower

with your secret mission.

Yeah, you really messed up.

Can we talk?

Well, I'm pretty busy

setting up snacks
for the cast right now.

Though I'm probably not even
qualified to do that.

That's not true.

Although I do think the chips

should go closer to the dip.

Is this what
you wanted to talk about?

No.
I owe you an apology.

I went too far.
And what I realized is

I wasn't just
trying to help you.

I was also doing this for me.

What does that mean?

I miss the
limelight, Sam.

When I was alive and I was
up there singing? (chuckles)

Well, that's the most alive
I've ever felt.

And you getting that part,
I think, in some small way,

was gonna make me feel
like I was on stage.

And I know I got
a little carried away

because...
(clicks tongue)

I just wanted it so bad.
For both of us.

But that wasn't the way
that I wanted to win the part.

I know, Sam,

and I'm sorry.
I wasn't thinking straight.

And what would make
all this even worse

is if my actions prevented you
from getting to live your dream.

Oh, there you are.

Scott's looking
for you.

We don't make Scott wait.

ALBERTA:
Sam,

whatever you do, I think
you're a star either way.

(sighs)
It's just so pathetic.

I was so desperate
to be with someone,

to have a connection,
that I got excited

about a figment
of Jay's imagination.

You're being
too hard on yourself.

This one time, I ate
too many shrooms

and dated a saguaro cactus
for, like, a week.

He was sweet.
Great listener.

It's nice of you guys
to try to cheer me up, but

let's face it: I'm alone.

And I'm never
gonna meet anyone new.

You may not be able
to find someone,

but maybe I can.

Maybe it's time I start to use
my power to help others.

For the less fortunate,
the housebounds.

Even when he's being nice,
it's just so smug.

Sass, I will search
far and wide,

and I will find someone
who's not bound to a property.

I mean, there's got to be others
out there like me,

and I'll bring one back to you.

Like some kind of
spectral pimp.

Matchmaker, maybe, is more
what I was thinking.

Wait, really, Pete?
You'd do that for me?

It would be my honor.

Hey, if you come across
any non-housebound

dead Dallas Cowboy
cheerleaders, could you...

Hey, he's looking for me, man.

I can't put an order in?

I'm just saying,
if he sees one.

You don't even know
what those are. Selfish.

Last call for Samantha?

Samantha?

Sorry I'm late, I was...
I don't need excuses.

I need excellence.

ALBERTA:
Yes!

Give 'em hell, Sam!

(plays "Anything Goes")

Oh, dear.
She's gonna blow.

And she stress-ate
all those Twizzlers earlier.

It's gonna look like
a crime scene in here.

Listen to me, Sam.

Forget about all
these people watching.

You're just singing to a friend.

? In olden days ?

? A glimpse of stocking ?

? Was looked on
as something shocking ?

? But now, God knows ?

? Anything goes ?

? Good authors, too ?

? Who once knew better words,
now only use ?

? Four-letter words,
writing prose ?

? Anything goes ?

(band playing "Anything Goes")

? The world has gone mad today ?

? And good's bad today
and black's white today ?

? And day's night today ?

? When most guys today ?

? That women
prize today ?

? Are silly gigolos... ?

That's my wife.

How you doing, bud?

Ah, I'm fine.

Although it's a little weird
being here,

in the same room with my ex.

Talking about
Marisa or Jay?

I don't know.

? And though I'm not
a great romancer ?

? I know that
you're bound to answer ?

? When I propose ?

? Anything goes... ?

ISAAC:
So, this is Alberta

not making it
about herself?

Baby steps.

(laughs)

(cheering, applause)

Sam, you really knocked
their socks off.

Oh, could you sing it
again for us?

(whispering):
Oh, I'd love to, Flower,

but I'm on vocal rest.

We're only halfway
through our season.

Of two performances.

Babe, you were
incredible.

Sweetie, would you fetch me
another hot water with lemon?

I need to soothe my instrument.

Alberta, I fear
you've created a monster.

She's insufferable.

I'm so proud.
