The Comeback

In an attempt to land a role in a new sitcom, Hollywood actress Valerie Cherish agrees to allow reality cameras to follow her comings and goings at home and on the set. Although she wins the part, Valerie must swallow her pride when the producers recast her.

The cast of "Room and Bored" are flown in to NYC to be introduced to the media. In the Big Apple, Valerie gets stiffed on a perk, misses out on a meal, frets about her stepdaughter's dinner guests back in LA, and fears the worst as the network prez intros the cast.

Concerned that Paulie G. has written an unflattering line that will turn audiences against her character, Valerie enlists a new writer, Gigi, to help pitch a less-offensive one. Meanwhile, Valerie rethinks her impulsive decision to adopt a puppy.

Valerie worries her comeback storyline isn't 'enough' as the network tries to spice up her reality show by cross-breeding it with another one. At home, Mark is increasingly frustrated by the restraints the ubiquitous cameras have made on the couple's sex life.
