Ivy Comes Back w/ Vengeance & Karen/Ivy Relationship?

Inside TV at Entertainment Weekly has given us some brief spoilers for the upcoming season, particularly for Megan’s character, Ivy.  Check them out:

What can we expect in the next season of Smash? Will Ivy and Karen be friends? — @KayleighMays_xx
As if! And I have to agree with Megan Hilty, who says that the pair’s constant rivalry is “part of the rollercoaster ride of their relationship.” But, she adds, “They have to have a reason to come together and usually it’s over a common enemy. Those are some of my favorite scenes to play.” And our faves to watch!

Was [Megan Hilty] happy about how Smash‘s first season ended, with Karen getting the part and her character on the brink of destruction? — ‏@SamanthaSysak1 
Yes — because she gets to come back with a vengeance in season 2! But, says Hilty, it doesn’t happen “in the way you’d expected [it] to.” “All I do know is that in the very first episode, you’ll see her making some very big changes — like within the first couple of minutes, which is exciting. It’s time for her to explore something new.” she says.
