Rachel has yet another callback for Funny Girl, this time on the Great White Way - on stage at the St. James Theatre. While sitting the wings, Rachel overhears the discussion of the director and her Tony winning reading partner discussing that perhaps she's wonderful, but not just right. Relishing in the Broadway dreams that may have passed, Rachel sings 'Yesterday' as she strolls along familiar settings - ironically all the places she shared in New York with Finn.
