Has anyone seen Kyle?
♪ Mi ma mi ma, I haven't seen her ♪
- Pinata chandelier is set.
Checked it several times.
Several.
- Welcome, welcome.
So glad you could make it.
Oh lookin' sharp.
This show promises to be our best yet.
Your contributions have been well spent.
- Have you seen Kyle?
- I haven't seen her.
- [Erika] Is she missing?
- We can't do this without her.
- This is gonna be a disaster.
- Just get out there and you'll be fine.
- Who's hungry?
- Not now.
Places!
If anyone sees Kyle, let me know ASAP.
- I didn't mean to do it.

- I know you poisoned Wayne.
- No problemo, Senorita.
Nothing my glue gun can't handle.
Let me get some stronger glue.
- [Lizzy] You needed him indisposed
so you could sneak through the trap door, open the box,
and release the chandelier to smush Noah.
No, I didn't steal the key.
Someone gave it to me.
- Who?
- I don't know!
I was blackmailed!
- Light 13 go.
Don't get sloppy with that spotlight.
Kyle, I need answers.

- [Audiobook Narrator] Chapter three.
How to be a Better You.
The key to being the best you.
- You guys are on your own for a bit.
I gotta go help Headmaster Chloe with something.
- How come he gets to leave?
- So you have no idea who put you up to this?
- No, I was given a key and instructions for what to do.
- So you just blindly followed along?
- They threatened to leak screenshots of chats I had
with other students.
- About?
- A cheating ring I was running.
- That was you?
- A bunch of people cheated on the math final
so we have a redo.
It's so unfair.
- You're the mastermind?
- I have access to a lot of old calculus tests.
- Wow.
- And if anyone ever saw any of those screenshots,
then I'd be kicked out of Crown Lake
and my parents would kill me.
- Just like you almost did to Noah.
- I didn't know what the key was gonna do, I swear.
- Can it!
Spotlight off.
- [Girl] Copy.
- I'm sorry, Lizzy.
I didn't know.
- Enough.
You're back on.
Go be the best Chorus Girl Number One you can be.
Kai, you're on in two.
Crew, I'm gonna need you to run on autopilot for me.
- [Wayne] Lizzy, you okay?
- I need to talk to Headmaster Chloe.
Brian, I need Chloe.
- She's watching the show with the donors.
What's going on?
- It's an emergency.
I really need her.
- Lizzy, calm down.
What's going on?
- The phantom, he's still out there.
- The phantom?
What are you talking about?
Noah's accident wasn't an accident.
- What?
Tell me everything.
Come on, let's go somewhere quieter.
- So, chorus girl Kyle confessed to everything,
but she wasn't working alone.
- What?
Do you have any idea who put her up to it?
- No.
But that means the phantom is still on the loose.
- Let's go up to the catwalk.
That's where the phantom was last time.
(audience cheering) (audience clapping)
♪ We might be fading ♪
- Wait.
Brian.
How did you know about the trap door?
- What do you mean?
- In the prop room.
You pushed open the trap door before I could show it to you.
- Holy pineapple emoji.
Lizzy's in trouble.
- We have to help her.
- Are you kidding me?
It's locked.
- [All] Brian!
- We're stuck! - There's a killer
on the loose!

- You theater kids.
You think you're better than everyone else.
You get the most funding.
You get the most detention.
Somebody has to stop it.
- Brian.
Our door is always open.
Anybody can join the family.
- Not everyone.
Remember?

Not to brag, but--
- Not now!
- Okay.
- I don't want him to hurt you.
- He won't.
I know him.
I know him, Raoul.
He's cruel and ruthless, but.
- [Brian] Not going well, huh?
- He loves me.
- [Lizzy] They need me and Delia.
- Well you should've thought about that
before you went snooping.
Nice try.
- How 'bout we just talk about this down there?
- You know I can't let you go.
(audience laughs)
Looks like I caught the phantom.
- What?
Me?
- Yep.
You smushed poor Noah.
- No one's gonna believe this.
- Why?
Of course they will.
You blackmailed Kyle
and you took your revenge on the theater.
I mean nobody loves being just the stage manager.
- I love being the stage manager and everybody knows that!
- But everybody knows that you love Noah.
And he doesn't love you back.
- Christine sings or else.
- He's not going to stop until Christine gets the solo.
- Then we give it to her.
- But we can't.
He'll start torturing her.
Who's to say what he might ask for next?
- We have to do something.
We have to end his rein of terror once and for all.
- This is my booth.
Who's got eyes on Lizzy?
- Brian, this is crazy.
It's your word against mine.
- Who do you think the school's gonna believe?
Me?
Chloe's number one student?
Or you, some musical theater kid
running a rogue investigation.
- I think I've got her.
- Where is she?
- We're about to find out.
- No one is going to believe this.
- Why?
I've successfully blackmailed Kyle.
And I'll successfully frame you.
- You are going to pay for what you did to Noah.
- Never.
Never.
Whoa.
Can everyone hear me?
- Brian!
Get away from Lizzy.
Are you okay?
- Busted.
So sorry about that.
We're gonna get right back into it.
Get comfy, get cozy you guys.
(audience gasps)
Yeah.
Just starting right now.
- Thank you all so much for your patience
during that unexpected intermission.
And now, without further ado, Crown Lake's phantom.
(audience claps)
Light 17, go.
- I'm so glad you're okay.
- I'm sorry about everything.
Lights 18, go.
