In a different show, this would be a triumphant moment: Sally Reed finally getting her moment, coming back from public humiliation on sheer talent alone. She pretends to be showing Kristen how to do the monologue, when in fact she’s shamelessly auditioning in front of Heder. Kristen freezes up when it’s time to film her scene, and as Sally and Heder confront her, Sally decides to shift from coaching to poaching. But the joke is ultimately on Sally more than Heder or anyone else. The joke initially is that in this industry in the year of our Lord 2023, a success like Coda doesn’t give Heder a chance to make a more expensive movie for adults, but instead gets her hired making some kind of dumb franchise film shot entirely on green screen. The movie’s being directed by Sian Heder from Coda, making it two episodes in a row featuring a cameo from the director of a recent Best Picture Oscar winner. Sally spends most of the episode on the set of Mega Girls, the ridiculous tentpole blockbuster that her new student Kristen has a small role in.
