In the approach to Fukumoto's requested performance, Rodrigo has to decide what he will do about the Requiem, Fuku's approach to the piece with which Rodrigo does not agree. In what Rodrigo decides to do, he leaves to Gloria and Betty to pick up the figurative pieces. Rodrigo still has to coach Hailey who has made it into the second round of the competition, the semi-finals. Getting snippets of the semi-final deliberation and getting Rodrigo's round two critique affects what Hailey ends up doing. And Gloria and Thomas get into an argument, their misunderstandings of the situation which leads to them coming clean about certain secrets they've been keeping. Written by Huggo
