As per your request, here is the description for the show Mozart in the Jungle season 2 episode 10:
In this episode titled "Home," the New York Symphony returns home after their successful tour in Japan and Mexico. The episode opens with Hailey, the oboist, arriving at elderly cellist Doris's apartment with groceries - a weekly ritual that Doris uses to escape the lonesome life of living in the apartment alone. Meanwhile, Cynthia, the board member, and Gloria, the orchestra's public relations representative, go to a bar to celebrate the safe return of the Symphony; however, their happy hour soon gets disrupted by a musician picketing and accusing the management of ruining the lives of the union musicians with the new salary cut.
As the episode progresses, Hailey learns her new apartment may not be everything she hoped for, and she starts to question her career choices. To distract herself, Hailey spends time practicing her instrument and perfecting her technique, inspired by the cellular Doppler effect. Elsewhere, Thomas and Rodrigo, two of the Symphony's leading instrumentalists, are seen grinning about their plans for the upcoming Valentine's Day concert while hairstyles for their special performances at the concert are made.
As the episode builds, the tension between the Symphony's musicians' Union and its management reaches a boiling point when they congregate in the lobby of the theater. But Rodrigo comes forward, diffusing the situation before the Union's picketing members could cause irreparable damage. The final scene of the episode sees Hailey's phone ringing, and on the other end of the line is the opportunity that might change her life - if she can summon the courage to answer.
Overall, the episode "Home" in Mozart in the Jungle season 2 dives deeper into the character's backstories, revealing their passions, and struggles beyond the stage and orchestra music they are known for. It is a fantastic episode, combining humor, drama, and romance while perfectly concluding the second season of the show.
