They say you can tell a lot by a person with what sort of music they listen to, or in today's world, by what's on their iTunes. For Zelda and Andrew that couldn't be any truer. For instance, Zelda learns that Andrew has a strong liking to Katy Perry (or if we are getting technical Kate Hudson, her Christian music name), while Andrew learns that Zelda once aspired to be a singer. Fun fact, if you've been living under a rock you may not know that Cristin Milioti is an incredibly talented singer who needs to put out an album stat! Moving on though, Zelda just wants Andrew to get over the fact he stumbled onto her demo tape but he isn't letting it go easy.

At an open bar event for work, Lydia seems to have one drink too many and got over appreciative with her employees. When she returns to work everyone is exceptionally nice to her. You think she'd want this opening working relationship with her staff right? Well think again!

Andrew may or may not have accidentally shared his music library with people the works with and by doing so, gave them access to hear Zelda's demo tape. But as if it couldn't get any more horrifying than that, someone Andrew works with shared it with everyone who works in his office park. Yes, you read that correctly. That even includes the people Zelda herself works with. This is where I would crawl under a rock and just want to die.

Now you may think this is a horrible situation, and for some of us it would have been. But it turns out everyone in Zelda's office is in love with voice and even her song. So wait a second, has she wasted her life being a lawyer? Zelda sure is starting to think so. Personally I get where she's coming from, I've been there when you question if you've been living your life the way you're meant to be. Well this just got deep...

Seems the fact her song is being so well received really does have Zelda shaken up. Could she have actually been a singer? Should she have invested more time in her dream of making it big? Turns out she just may have. Come to find out, Zelda once had an audition with the Berklee College of Music and just blew it off. For all of those who may be playing along at home, let me break it down for you. That school is a big deal. But why did she blow it off? Seems her mom attempted to be a singer too, was unsuccessful, and Zelda didn't think it was a very practical decision.

Zelda's song became so popular that even the monster herself Lydia got it. But how did she get it? Oh you know, because she got so drunk that she "friended" every single person that works at Wildflower and it was shared to her.

Being the overly caring boyfriend that he is, Andrew (with some help from Stephie if we are being honest) ambushes Zelda with an opportunity to audition for the Penbridge Conservatory of Music. Zelda however, is not impressed with the gesture, turns around and walks out. I'm going to go on a limb and say this is not how Andrew saw this playing out in his head right? Come to find out, Zelda didn't blow off her original audition because she was scared by what happened to her mom or that she found it unimportant. She blew it off because she was afraid of failure. I think we've all been there no? Seems fear is still a big part of her and she decides to not take the chance and audition...that's until she sees how much Andrew had faith in her. After all, he listened to her song 53 times so he's either obsessive, romantic, or has faith she can make it big. Andrew turns around the car, Zelda went in for audition and ends up getting a call back. It's in this sweet moment that she realizes now matter what the callback says she's happy with her life. Very sweet episode tonight and I have to say, it didn't hurt that the show ended with us getting to her Milioti's sweet voice.
