Angus leaves for the audition in NY without telling Faye his intentions (he makes something up about work).
While he is away, Faye finds the flyer / Angus' boss calls for an emergency gig.
Angus fails the audition and upon returning is faced with an aggravated Faye all going "Why didn't you tell me?! Don't you trust me?!"
They fight, Faye storms out, cue regular sitcom bullshit until equilibrium sets back in after about 20 awkward strips about handling arguments and relationships better.
BAM! ... I feel dirty now.

I am reasonably sure this is covered under Jeph's "I won't do Shakespearean misunderstandings". I think.
Now I fear.

Let me Google that for you...
@Westrim: saying he wants to move there and actually having an opportunity for something there are two different things... but I'm picking nits at this point.
Despite my long term identification with Angus, this is a really hard call - Best thing is to tell Faye about the opportunity, and be open. "Hey, that 5 year thing? Well, the reason I asked was...". Then send in the "resume" (which probably needs to include some video of your work), and see if you even get past the first round.
If not, moot point.
If you do, well... then you have some real thinking and talking to do.
He will, of course, because one of his prep school pals is the talent coordinator for Worldwide Panties now.

Unless what he's starting to think is that, whether he gets the flier gig or not, he'd rather be living in NYC. Which might be why the initial question to Faye was "where do you see yourself in five years," not "What would you think of moving to New York with me if I get a job out there?"
3 hours really isn't that bad a commute for a long distance thing. They could visit for weekends and, if "The Nightly Show" is anything like it's "our world" companion, during that every-fourth-week the crew gets off. BUT that kind of dynamic can only work for so long. Eventually, someone is going to have to move. If he's planning on permanently living in the city and she has no interest in living there herself, then it might be better to just recognize it for the incompatibility it is and move on.

He could always pull a Biden and use Amtrak back and forth every day.

Not necessarily true at all. There are people who have very long distance relationships for very long periods of time. Not everyone is capable of doing this, of course, but that dynamic CAN work, especially when given they're actually within easy driving distance. We don't know anything about how either of them feels about a long distance relationship, so it's a bit early to proclaim that a long distance relationship can't work out long term.
