If only someone had made a suggestion like that weeks ago!

Elsewhere, Ms. Wolfe leaps off the top of an opera house.

Mazzus new set-design concept, then, is salvaged items.

The results are not so much salvaged items as stolen, but hey, a compromise is a compromise.

Robbie and Lilette steal a jukebox for some reason (rude toGrease).

Simon and Annabel steal a stained-glass window from a church (rude toFootloose).

Not just any sign lying around the factory floor, but like, THE sign.

A giant, soldered, steely marquee of metal that has no business being stolen.

God, what a concept.

In another world, hed be her bad-boy knight in shining H&M.

(The same one, in fact, where Coach is now living.Grand Hotelcould never.)

(Even more shocking: Nobody saw them!

From a TV standpoint, this is truly an exhilarating twist.)

Its super convincing, in the same wayWickedis convincing at making you think a real goat plays Doctor Dillamond.

What of her?!

For everyones sake, it is a damn miracle that the cops come before either of them do.
