(cheers and applauds)
(dramatic music)
- Just keep your eye on the ball.
(whacks)
- You did it, we won.
(playful music)
- Morning sunshine.

- Everything okay, bro?
- Good morning everyone, I know you've all been
extremely worried about the recent events
that touched at our theater family over the weekend.
I'm happy to report some good news this morning,
Noah is stable and getting the very best medical attention.
(crowd murmurs)
The investigation has concluded
and authorities have determined it was an accident.
The rigging for the chandelier malfunctioned.
While we all go back to our normal routines
it's important that you keep Noah and his family
in your thoughts and prayers.
- Thank you.
I can feel your prayers.
- Thanks everyone, have a good day.
- Headmaster,
can I talk to you?
- Of course.
- How do we know that the chandelier rig
didn't malfunction on purpose?
- These are professional investigators Lizzie,
they know what they're doing.
- Right, it's just that I heard that,
- Spreading rumors at a time like this,
is like pouring gasoline on a dumpster fire,
don't do it.
And no more incidents, your department's on thin ice.
(soft music)
- You're crazy if you still think
you can pull this show off.
- Corina, what do you want?
- To know how you're planning on opening Phantom
without the one actor who had any talent?
- Every show is a team effort.
- You're also grossly over budget
and the expectations for this show are through the roof.
That's a lot of pressure.
- Theater kids thrive under pressure.
(tense music)
(phone dings)
- Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
Noah's okay, he's okay.
And he loves me.
What up?
♪ 'cause it's too real darling we know that ♪
♪ You shiny diamonds, fancy clothes ♪
- Okay one sec.
Kai just a reminder that this song is sung
you are Raoul in this scene and not the Phantom rapper.
Let's try again.
- No, no, no, no, Noah's Raoul sang, my Raoul raps.
- Not just Noah's Raoul, every Raoul.
- If I'm a put my soul into this, I'm a put my spin on it.
- I hear you and I respect your decision,
I was wondering if for the sake of time and clarity
we just stick to the script.
- I'm not a puppet Lizzie.
- O M G.
Can we please just get through this.
This song is obviously triggering.
(bangs) (gasps)
- Hey Wayne, can you hold the work back stage,
we're in the middle of a scene.
- My team is a tight ship Lizzie,
that wasn't us.
- Then what was it?
- I don't know.
- Oh, the Phantom of Crown Lake, oh.
- Nope, I'm out, not today.
- Oh.
- Let's all take five.
Hey Wayne can I talk to you?
(siren wails)
(beeps)
- Noah?
You awake buddy?
Noah?
Noah are you sending me texts?
You can talk to me.
(beeps)
Nurse, someone help.
(beeps)
- [Wayne] I already went through all this
a million times with investigators,
- Just humor me.
- (sighs) the chandelier is controlled by a pulley system,
to work the pulley you have to open a safety box
with a key, I'm the only person with that key.
- So what do you think happened?
- Honestly,
maybe the Phantom of Crown Lake is real?
- Okay.
In the case that it isn't an evil spirit,
could anyone have taken the key off you?
- No chance, I was in the prop room
and keys were here on my body the whole time.
- And can anyone corroborate that?
- Talk to chorus girl Kyle.
You know, I'd expect this kind of accusation
from the headmaster, Lizzie, but not from you.
This is a low blow.
- Yeah, he was in here, I shattered my opera glasses
and he was gluing them back together
when it happened.
I just don't understand, I already told this to the cops.
- Sorry to upset you, it's just,
I'm filling out an incident report
and needed to be thorough.
- Lizzie,
is he gonna be okay, Noah?
- I don't know Kyle.
I just don't know.
(soft music)
This is such a mess, half the cast is a wreck,
Tuesday won't come out of her dressing room,
Kai thinks the theater's haunted,
and Wayne won't even speak to me.
- Common side effect of accusing someone of manslaughter.
- I had to ask, I mean how else are we supposed to do this?
- First of all, I'd try being a little more subtle,
and second, there is no we.
- But you were the one who saw somebody on the rafters.
- Your point?
- You could see everybody.
That's it.
If we can pinpoint everybody's location and cue
from the beginning of scene four, we can narrow down
who had the time to walk up the catwalk
and tamper with the box.
So Wayne and Kyle where in the prop room,
you were here.
- And the butler was in the library with the candlestick.
- Ha ha. (knocks)
- How's everyone doing?
Just checking in.
- Oh sorry headmaster, we're a little on edge.
- I can see that.
- But we're hanging in.
- Okay, well I had Brian bring Wayne
the new chandelier you requested.
- Thank you so much, it was so great seeing you,
have a great day.
- Hmm.
(sighs)
- Smooth.
- Isn't there anywhere in this school
I can get a little privacy?
- Actually, yeah.
(phone dings)
- It's you on Noah's phone, admit it.
- What are you talking about?
(phone dings)
- I knew it, I knew the whole time.
- Then why send Noah shirtless selfies?
- I thought you'd appreciate it.
No why are you messing with me?
- It's called the crypt, they used to lock kids
in here for detention.
- It's perfect,
how'd you find it?
- Don't worry about it.
(clatters)
- Can't believe her stupid questions.
Now we have to use a stupid donkey.
After all our hard work, so humiliating.
(dramatic music)
Hello?
Is anyone there.
- Ew, what is this, Satan's playhouse.
- Hi Delia, I forgot you existed.
- Mikey, I told you to come here alone.
No one's supposed to know about this.
- Too late, I saw you two snooping in my stepbrother's phone
and in Kai's live feed,
it was obvious you were up to something.
- She's smarter than she looks.
(coughs)
but seriously, is it safe to be in here?
- If you're looking into what happened to Noah,
I want to be a part of it.
- And that's my cue, I'm out.
- Wait Delia, I can't do this alone.
- Uh hello? - What about us?
- Don't leave me with these normies.
If we're going to do this I need someone
that I can rely on.
- And what makes you think that's me?
- Because I been letting you sleep through rehearsal
and get full credit for years.
You owe me.
Like it or not, we're all in this together now.
- Fine.
But do we need her?
- You bet your theater kid jazz hands you do
because I know who did it.
(dramatic music)
- [Announcer] Next up on Stage Fright.
- So, how are we gonna take down Tuesday.
- We'll divide and conquer.
- So you weren't in the theater when the chandelier fell?
- No.
- You're Noah's roommate.
- Yeah, so?
- You look like you've seen a ghost.
- More like the devil.
