“The Duet”
Season: 2
Episode: #5

Episode recap:

Jessica and Nick are planning to record a few duet cover songs. As Jessica reviews different tunes from the ’80s and ’90s, she realizes that she recognizes many of the songs, but not the artists. Jessica does’t know The Commodores or Carole King, and admits to mixing up Billy Joel and Billy Idol. She finally decides on “Take My Breath Away.”

Nick isn’t really interested in choosing a duet song–he meets up with Drew to have lunch. When Drew walks up to Nick, they both have a good laugh because they are almost identically dressed. When they get into the restaurant, Nick takes off his thermal shirt so they look a little different.

The next couple weeks will have Nick and Jessica traveling a lot to promote their records–including 18 different shows, autograph signings and radio interviews.

Jessica starts off with a radio promotion. She is’t feeling well and complains the entire way there but once she is on stage, she lights up and puts on a great show for her fans. Next, the couple is off to Dallas for a performance. When Jessica and Nick make it to the stage, Jessica complains that her shoes are hurting her feet. Nick snaps into action and throws Jessica over his shoulder and runs out onto stage. The crowd loves it. Soon they are off to Providence, Rhode Island and then to Denver, Colorado.

Their trip isn’t only filled with performing though. Jessica is working on a celebrity show about great gifts for the holiday season. Nick is spending his time at a children’s hospital taking pictures and hanging with the kids for the afternoon. One of the young girls tells him that when he and Jessica have their own bambinos, he knows who to call for a babysitter.

Finally, Jessica and Nick wrap up their tour and go back home to L.A. But their work is not done. They schedule studio time to record their duet cover of “Take My Breath Away.” They choose this song because it has special meaning to Jessica. “I always said the one guy that actually does take my breath away I’m gonna spend the rest of my life with him, and the first time Nick hugged me I was completely short of breath.” So the couple records their duet and heads home to spend some time relaxing together.
