The episode opens with Rockwell doing a dance number. The focus though shifts to Verdon as Fosse deals with the editing of Cabaret and he is not happy.
It is all about motherhood for Verdon. Fosse cannot be relied on to babysit their daughter. It leads to flashbacks as to Verdon having a son with her first husband who assaulted her but at least he did marry her. The son was left behind with her parents as Verdon went on to make a life for herself in the stage.
In this episode, Verdon is struggling with the straight theatre and she gets no help from Fosse who dismisses her pleas for help. It does imply that Fosse knew nothing about this son. Meanwhile Verdon helps out Fosse in the editing room.
While the first episode had a countdown to Fosse's death. This episode does the same with Verdon. At least you get a sense that this is a drama about two people, so far it has been all that jazz about Fosse.
