Ivy is afraid of damaging her reputation when Tom asks her to perform a risqué number. The cast of "Hit List" is rocked by a betrayal close to home.
An unexpected event bonds both "Bombshell" and "Hit List."
An off-the-rails Jimmy threatens "Hit List's" future, as Karen, Derek, Ana and Kyle try to help him before something bad happens.
