A quick cut to Adam demonstrating his model set to Johnny Broadway, Joan, and Friedman. Kudos to the hair people: Adam's hair looks just awesome in this scene. I think the layers on top were cut a little shorter and choppier, and that, combined with the judicious use of whatever product and some skilled styling, has resulted in his hair -- which has often been an iffy proposition -- looking better than I think it ever has throughout the series. He is just so cute here. So. Cute. Rock on, hair people. Also, I'm really impressed that he put this model together basically in one evening. But more with the hair. Anyway, Friedman, about whose hair the less said, the better, wants to know how they fit under the stage to emerge from the graves: "Not that I'm complaining or anything." Adam points out that that part is raised: "Now check out the lighting." All the little graves light up, outlined in tiny blue lights. Johnny Broadway: "I'm getting chills, here." Joan beams. Elizabeth, on stage with the rest of the cast and wearing a giant red skirt that looks like a crinoline, interrupts to ask, "Excuse me, do you think that maybe we could rehearse the show at some point…since…my aunt is driving in from Indiana…" Johnny Broadway replies, "Elizabeth, this isn't about your aunt…this is about the process!" He suddenly shouts the last word and bangs the table, causing Joan and Adam to jump. Elizabeth whines, "Well, how come you keep changing the show four days before we open? I mean, this is not how I worked in Godspell." She crosses her arms. Adam tactfully suggests, "You know, I was thinking that Elizabeth would rise up on this moon thing, and she's the queen of the zombie prom, or…" Elizabeth agrees: "Okay, well, that needs to happen." Joan makes a bit of an exasperated face that Elizabeth can't see. Johnny Broadway: "You see this, people? Inspiration doesn't follow a schedule." He puts his arm around Adam, who looks uncomfortable. "When it shows up, you better follow it! Otherwise, who are the zombies?" Friedman bellows: "We are!" Everyone looks at him. And proceeds to ignore him. Johnny Broadway tells Adam to find the "tool belt people" and get building. He tells everyone else to get back to rehearsal. Joan leans toward Adam, smiling: "Congratulations." Johnny Broadway leans back in to whisper, "I'm missing a zombie." Joan heads for the stage.
Kevin wheels through some crunchy ice and slush to find Andy shooting hoops by himself outside. Andy wonders how Kevin found him. Kevin says he's an investigative reporter: "And you said you were staying at the Y." Andy: "So what do you want?" Kevin first says he doesn't know, and then says he does: "I want to say, uh…thanks." Andy: "For being a bastard?" Kevin: "No, not for that part. That part is, uh, yours to live with…like I have to live with this." He indicates his wheelchair. As Andy's about to shoot the ball again, Kevin says, "Man…why didn't you just pick up the phone and call me? This happened to both of us." Andy doesn't know; he was waiting for the right time: "And then it was too late." He shoots the ball, and Kevin catches it when it bounces back. He fires it to Andy, who holds it for a moment, slaps it, and then passes it back to Kevin. Andy: "Shoot." And he does, and gets it in the basket. As "I Shall Be Released" starts playing, Andy tells him he's still got game. They keep playing and are laughing together already. Me: "Aw. Sports fix everything." Frink just shrugs. Seriously, Kevin must really want to patch things up with Andy badly to get past this so easily.
