00:07:46,425 --> 00:07:47,926
- Loretta.
- Then, zip it.
178
00:07:47,926 --> 00:07:49,178
So if it was poison,
179
00:07:49,178 --> 00:07:52,264
we actually have a decent suspect
to look at. Kimber.
180
00:07:52,264 --> 00:07:54,474
Oh, Kimber!
181
00:07:54,474 --> 00:07:56,727
I love it. That's so good.
182
00:07:56,727 --> 00:07:58,645
Quick question.
Does it have to be Kimber?
183
00:07:59,229 --> 00:08:01,732
She's one of the few cast members
who can actually sing.
184
00:08:01,732 --> 00:08:02,816
I take offense to that.
185
00:08:02,816 --> 00:08:04,026
That was my intention.
186
00:08:04,026 --> 00:08:05,944
I'm working on my vibrato. Listen.
187
00:08:05,944 --> 00:08:07,779
[with light vibrato]
Ah!
188
00:08:08,197 --> 00:08:09,698
Thank you, Ms. Merman.
189
00:08:09,698 --> 00:08:12,743
Oh, a-and the thing about Kimber,
I just found out that she has
190
00:08:12,743 --> 00:08:15,037
two million Tik Tokkee people.
191
00:08:15,037 --> 00:08:17,372
Followers. I know, but--
OLIVER: Which is great press for our show.
192
00:08:17,372 --> 00:08:19,208
Now our stage manager, on the other hand,
193
00:08:19,208 --> 00:08:21,251
is a world-class grump
194
00:08:21,251 --> 00:08:24,713
who has only 12 followers.
Can we look in that direction?
195
00:08:24,713 --> 00:08:26,798
Kimber was the only cast member
196
00:08:26,798 --> 00:08:29,176
that didn't give Charles a hanky.
197
00:08:29,176 --> 00:08:31,845
So she could have attempted
to poison him at the theater.
198
00:08:31,845 --> 00:08:35,307
And when that didn't work, she pushed him
down the elevator shaft. Make sense?
199
00:08:35,307 --> 00:08:37,267
- Hey! I just had an idea!
- Really?
200
00:08:37,267 --> 00:08:40,562
What if we cut the patter song,
and I just do a look?
201
00:08:40,562 --> 00:08:43,565
- Oh, dear lord. [sighs]
- Another detail on Kimber.
202
00:08:43,565 --> 00:08:45,317
In the dressing room footage I saw,
203
00:08:45,317 --> 00:08:48,237
it sounded like Ben
was having a lover's spat
204
00:08:48,237 --> 00:08:50,239
right before he collapsed on stage,
205
00:08:50,239 --> 00:08:53,951
which would explain why
he apologized to Kimber at the party
206
00:08:53,951 --> 00:08:55,786
for making things messy.
207
00:08:55,786 --> 00:08:57,871
We have to find out
if they were secretly dating.
208
00:08:57,871 --> 00:08:59,540
Do you know who else is secretly dating?
209
00:08:59,540 --> 00:09:01,959
Yes. You and Loretta.
And by the way, you're not.
210
00:09:01,959 --> 00:09:03,377
Yet.
MABEL: Whatever.
211
00:09:03,377 --> 00:09:06,672
Your TikTok star has something
the murderer needed.
212
00:09:07,422 --> 00:09:09,132
A way to deliver the poison.
213
00:09:09,132 --> 00:09:11,677
KIMBER [on video]:
Y'all, you are probably asking yourself,
214
00:09:11,677 --> 00:09:15,639
"Why does Ben Glenroy, CoBro,
look like a 50-year-old baby?"
215
00:09:15,639 --> 00:09:18,642
He's literally aging backwards,
and I will tell you why.
216
00:09:18,642 --> 00:09:21,228
Because he uses my anti-aging serum.
217
00:09:21,228 --> 00:09:24,481
That's right, it's anti-aging, it's serum,
and you guys can have it, too.
218
00:09:24,481 --> 00:09:26,692
Are you guys stalking my serum?
[all yelp]
219
00:09:26,692 --> 00:09:29,945
Oh! Uh, uh, yes,
because we are all anti-aging.
220
00:09:29,945 --> 00:09:31,196
Yes.
KIMBER: Oh.
221
00:09:31,196 --> 00:09:32,823
If you want, I can put you on a waitlist,
222
00:09:32,823 --> 00:09:35,784
but ever since Ben signed on
as unofficial spokesperson,
223
00:09:35,784 --> 00:09:37,202
I can't keep it in stock.
224
00:09:37,202 --> 00:09:40,789
People, this is rehearsal time.
Let's keep it on topic.
225
00:09:40,789 --> 00:09:42,040
OLIVER:
Yes, right.
226
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,001
Well, if everyone's here,
let's kick it off
227
00:09:44,001 --> 00:09:45,794

228

In front of--
In front of everybody?
230
00:09:49,631 --> 00:09:51,258
So, Charles, six weeks from now,
231
00:09:51,258 --> 00:09:53,177
you'll be performing this
in front of thousands,
232

get used to the eyeballs.

Happened to me in 2014.

I was doing a production of
As You Like It in Wilmington.

I'll never know exactly
what I did on that stage, but...

there are now pictures of
my penis on the internet,

that's how they got there.

Okay, well, that's, uh...
H-How do I stay out of it?

Look, I've dealt with anxiety.

Once I went to the White Room
and woke up two days later

- Too soon!
- Not ready.
312
00:13:29,643 --> 00:13:33,438
But, we have to find the serum
that Ben used on opening night
313
00:13:33,438 --> 00:13:36,233
and test it for poison.
Do you think it's still in the theater?

Getting into the theater
is a whole thing.
315
00:13:37,943 --> 00:13:39,236
You know, Howard has a key,
316
00:13:39,236 --> 00:13:41,154
and if he's not in the right mood,
he won't let us in.
317
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:42,614
He works for you, right?
318
00:13:42,614 --> 00:13:45,617
Well, it's a complicated relationship.
Many layers.
319
00:13:46,118 --> 00:13:48,495

a layered relationship.

00:13:52,791 --> 00:13:54,334
about letting us in the theater?
323
00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:56,461

Because if you are, I need to know.
