SPEAKER_03 0:00

Heads up, Angels. While our podcast is suitable for all ages, keep in mind these episodes were produced in a different era and may include scenes of danger, crime, or themes some listeners may find sensitive or outdated. When doing our rewatch, we do our very best to discuss everything with care, context, and compassion, and always with a love for the show and respect for our listeners. Last time on Good Morning Charlie, now let's take a look at the top 20 most horrific amusement park disasters.

SPEAKER_01 0:39

And coming up.

SPEAKER_03 1:23

It's good to see you, Colby, as always. Colby asked me about my little teen pigs.

SPEAKER_07 1:28

No more, you're a little piglets. I'm very excited.

SPEAKER_03 1:30

Well, they're not piglets. I decided they were with based on my years of animal husbandry.

SPEAKER_07 1:36

I don't care, they're pignet, they're piglets.

SPEAKER_03 1:38

If you listened last week, you all got to hear a live time I began talking about the two pigs somehow loosed into my neighborhood, which at first glance doesn't seem to be a place one would raise pigs. It would be fine if they just poked around a little bit and a spider spun a web that said fine pig. That would have been great. But the bulbs were everywhere, mulch was everywhere, but they've been caught. What's going on with you? I know you're excited about what's it's coming up in Atlanta. What is it? Fearfest?

SPEAKER_07 2:14

Yes, it is uh a little horror convention called uh Days of the Dead. Shark Week.

SPEAKER_03 2:19

Days of the Dead.

SPEAKER_07 2:21

Yes, Days of the Dead. This year, Marley Shelton is coming. She uh was in a movie I watched a lot as a kid called The Sandlot. Uh, she's in Scream Four and Five. She's in Valentine from like 1999 or 2000. And they just recently added Ty West. And uh I'm just over the moon. I cannot believe he would attend a convention like this.

SPEAKER_00 2:48

Well, you know, I can't believe it's not butter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You think it is butter. No, no. I mean, you know the stuff that I can't believe is not butter is called I can't believe it's not butter. Probably, yeah. Yeah. Well, I can't believe the stuff that is not, I can't believe it's not butter, is not, I can't believe it's not butter. And I can't believe that both I can't believe it's not butter, and the stuff that I can't believe is not, I can't believe it's not butter, are both in fact not butter.

SPEAKER_07 3:18

Um, he is known for your next one. Forget all that.

SPEAKER_03 3:22

It's X and Maxine and Pearl. I'm excited about meeting Ty West, Sean Cunningham, Tom Savini, Danielle Harris. Danielle Harris was the star of the very first horror movie I ever saw in my life, Halloween 4.

SPEAKER_07 3:40

She's also in a little 90s film called Don't Tell Um Mom the Babysitter's Dead.

SPEAKER_03 3:46

Wait, what? She's in that?

SPEAKER_07 3:47

Well, I quote it constantly. Uh, so that yeah, that's very cool.

SPEAKER_03 3:51

Is that the one with Christina Applegate?

SPEAKER_07 3:54

It is, yes, you're absolutely correct.

SPEAKER_03 3:55

Then there's Adventures in Babysitting, starring completely separate movie. Mm-hmm. A babysitting hijinx en Sue. And that stars she was in the first season of the superhero show.

SPEAKER_07 4:12

Yeah, that's very specific.

SPEAKER_03 4:13

That movie with Kevin Bacon when he turned invisible.

SPEAKER_07 4:18

Hollow Man?

SPEAKER_03 4:19

Hollow Man.

SPEAKER_07 4:20

Is that Elizabeth Shoe, or am I thinking of something else?

SPEAKER_03 4:22

Elizabeth Shoe.

SPEAKER_07 4:23

Uh uh, don't tell them uh Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead also has an angels connection.

SPEAKER_03 4:28

How so?

SPEAKER_07 4:29

Uh, the lady who is Christina Applegate's boss is in season five of Charlie's Angels. We should get to today's episode.

SPEAKER_03 4:38

Let's do it. Today's episode is The Lady Killer, the original air date, November 24th, 1976.

SPEAKER_07 4:47

That sounds eerily familiar. Why?

SPEAKER_03 4:50

Oh, they know. Just under 50 minutes. This is an obvious we're just gonna get it out there. An obvious take on the Playboy magazine, the Playboy Clubs, the Playboy Lifestyle of the time. I'm using Playboy as a proper noun, a capital P. And Hugh Hefner and that indulgent uh lifestyle he led. There are no classic Playboy clubs still around. The last one closed in 1988 in Lansing, Michigan. So shout out to my Michigan peeps. You were the holdout.

SPEAKER_07 5:30

I didn't know there was such a thing.

SPEAKER_03 5:32

Colby, yes, and the and the the I'm gonna use the this word on purpose instead of servers. The waitresses and bartending staff, all female, and they wore the they wore the bunny outfits like you saw in Legally Blonde and Do they perform?

SPEAKER_07 5:48

Is it kind of like Chippendales or no?

SPEAKER_03 5:50

I I don't no no no. They no, but I am gonna reference those classic Playboy clubs. This is 2026, and by sheer coinky dink, plans are underway to attempt an all-new revitalization of a classic Playboy club in Miami this year. But moving forward, it this is produced by David Levinson. We've heard that name before. He also worked in Heart to Heart and is his Columbo insert a chainway clip here.

SPEAKER_02 6:20

You know, I'm really easy to get along with most of the time. But I don't like bullies, and I don't like threats, and I don't like you.

SPEAKER_03 6:30

Alfred Hitchcock presents Colby's Favorite and 21 Jump Street. What is Is There No Dark Dark? What is it called? Do you like Dark Matters?

SPEAKER_07 6:38

No, no, not this guy round.

SPEAKER_03 6:40

Disc what Dark Shadows? Dark Shadows.

SPEAKER_07 6:43

No.

SPEAKER_03 6:44

It was written by Sue Milbourne. Shout out to female writers in the 70s. She herself also wrote for Bionic Woman of Podfave, directed by George McCallan, another individual who worked with many of the Podfaves, such as Heart to Heart and Fantasy Island.

SPEAKER_07 7:01

Yeah, he also directed uh the TV series of War of the Worlds uh 1989. I imagine that had to be a huge undertaking. What a story.

SPEAKER_03 7:11

I didn't know there was a TV movie of War of the Worlds.

SPEAKER_07 7:15

TV series.

SPEAKER_03 7:16

TV series. No, I said that because I wasn't paying attention.

SPEAKER_05 7:30

This is Wella Cholesterol. It's the salon type hair conditioner that I use, and it's terrific. If you're like me and you wash your hair every morning, it can really be hard on it. So can the sun or salt water, even pool chemicals. Cholesterol works for me. And if your hair is dry or if it's brittle, it can give it back a great healthy look and leave it silky and shiny. Why don't you try Wella Cholesterol? You'll love your hair.

SPEAKER_07 7:58

We're going to uh start the episode. We're joining a cadre of cocktail waitresses toasting. The toast is in celebration of this lady being the next feline centerfold. These waitresses are all in uniform, a sort of bejeweled red boustier with black opera gloves, cat ears, and a tail.

SPEAKER_03 8:23

Yeah, it's yeah, everybody just pictured the Playboy bunny waitress outfit.

SPEAKER_07 8:28

But a cat.

SPEAKER_03 8:28

But a cat. That's what they did. Instead of a bunny tail, you have a cat tail. Instead of bunny ears, you have kitten ears.

SPEAKER_07 8:34

I I really like the boustier. It reads really well on camera, but the ears and the tail, they look like an afterthought. But keep your eyes peeled because we might be seeing this little red number again in a future episode.

SPEAKER_03 8:50

I'm gonna disagree with you. It wasn't so much an afterthought. It's that they took those classic waitress Vegas costumes and somebody in wardrobe sewed on a tail and stitched together some ears.

SPEAKER_07 9:03

I I, you know, can't agree with that, but the the items that they chose specifically, I don't think coordinated well with the Boustier. They, I mean, they look cheap, to tell you the truth. They did.

SPEAKER_03 9:15

Oh, the boys. The Boys is that series Elizabeth Shu was in the first season of. But back to this Playboy Club that's not a Playboy Club.

SPEAKER_07 9:31

The party has now moved on to the dressing room where the ladies have changed to go home, and the last lady left is the soon-to-be centerfold. A black gloved hand is seen wetting a cloth with chloroform, which in TV LAN is very easy to obtain. Well, it is. Sort of like lifts up as she's cutting the hair. At the Townsend agency, the angels are pelting Bosley with questions about Charlie's appearance to aid in the angels shopping for Charlie's birthday. Bosley is no help. Charlie calls to tell our angels that a feline was killed at the club last night, and Sabrina jumps in to mention that a feline was killed the previous month, also. The MO or modus apparandi is the same. Chloroform poisoning, and all of the feline's hair had been cut off. Tony Mayan, played by Hugh O'Brien, arrives. He is the publisher of the Feline magazine and the chairman of Feline Enterprises. So he's our Hugh Hefner.

SPEAKER_03 11:03

He's our Hugh Hefner. I'm gonna talk more, I'm gonna talk a lot about that.

SPEAKER_07 11:07

Okay. He lists off several examples of sabotage, uh, but the killings is what brought him to Charlie. Charlie informs the team only one angel is needed to be a feline. And since none of the angels are particularly fond of the thought, they will draw for it. Jill is our lucky winner, and for some reason is concerned that she will have to pose in the nude, which I don't believe we're gonna see on TV.

SPEAKER_03 11:38

Tony Mann, the Hugh Hefner style guy, is played by Hugh O'Brien, a beautiful, beautiful man. He was born in 1925, so he was around 50 when he was in this particular episode. He's been on a lot of great TV movies. First of all, in 1975, he was in murder on flight 502 with Colby. Colby, hold on to your hold on to your your hard front wig. He was in this movie with Farah Fawcett.

SPEAKER_07 12:12

I know.

SPEAKER_03 12:13

Tick, yeah, but you don't know what I'm about to say. You don't know. Danny Bonaducci.

SPEAKER_06 12:18

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 12:19

And I need everyone to sit down. I need every shut up. Shut up, everyone. Everyone sit down. Sit down, everyone. Sonny Bono was in this movie.

SPEAKER_07 12:28

If I we might see again in the future.

SPEAKER_03 12:32

I loved it when he was on the Golden Girls. Uh he was also in a 1978 TV movie with uh oh, the name of it, Cruise into Terror. And it had John Forsyth in it. A lovely, lovely Charlie's Angels connection.

SPEAKER_01 12:48

Bye, Angels.

SPEAKER_03 12:49

Lee Merriweather, Dirk Benedict from A-Team and Battlestar Galactica. I've actually met him and he was so nice. And if I were as handsome as Dirk Benedict, I would not be as nice as Dirk Benedict. And then one of my favorite just all-time peeps, Linda Day George. I love it when she screams, Bastard, like this.

unknown 13:11

Bastard! Bastard.

SPEAKER_07 13:16

I love Linda Day George, wife to Christopher George, who is another Angels connection. They were also on a lot of game shows in the 70s. They did a lot of movies together.

SPEAKER_03 13:29

They did a lot of boobies together.

SPEAKER_07 13:31

Movies.

SPEAKER_03 13:33

Well, you need to enunciate. I can't be the only one. I can't be the only one thinking it. Alright, so let me set this all up. So we have Kitty Cat Murders, the owner's frustrated, comes to the talents and agency. They're all going undercover, and we know Jill's gonna be one of the servers. One of the felines.

SPEAKER_07 13:52

Well, not a second later. Jill is looking stunning and this bedazzled boustier. Jill is getting instruction from Paula, played by Jan Shooten. This is interrupted because uh a certain gentleman walks in, Dave Earhard. He is played by Alan Budge, who has noticed Jill is a new feline and remarks, Jill could really be any woman off the street, and complains nothing changes with the company. And that is the reason that they are losing money. Paula comments, uh, she is not a fan of Dave, and it is kind of easy to see why.

SPEAKER_05 14:33

He's a real prince. He brightens up a room just by leaving it.

SPEAKER_07 14:37

Sabrina is going over plans with Tony Mann at his estate, which is actually the home of Goldie Han.

SPEAKER_05 14:45

I will not speak to you till you put your head on straight.

SPEAKER_07 14:50

Sabrina will pose as a roommate of Tony's or like old friend in order to meet Tony's uh business associates. A young girl, Carmel, lounging by the pool at Tony's estate, jumps up to greet him and sneers at Sabrina and fires off suggestive comments about how old Sabrina might be. Mind you, Sabrina is what, maybe 28.

SPEAKER_03 15:19

Oh, yeah, she's like 28, 29, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 15:23

Carmel is not thrilled with the arrangement of Sabrina staying, and Carmel leaves.

SPEAKER_05 15:29

You don't like me very much, do you? No, no, it's not that. I just wish you'd recognize a small portion of the female population. Which portion? The ones over 20.

SPEAKER_03 15:41

By the way, the actual Playboy mansion we're all familiar with, it's still there, it's still standing, but it's no longer associated with the Playboy brand.

SPEAKER_07 15:49

Jill has started her shift as a feline and is serving a table of over-amorous men, one of which hands Jill his room key when she asks for their membership key uh to order the drinks, uh, which is the only time the lounge is referred to as a club with a membership. Uh, but Sly Jill manages to pawn off this man's key on another patron who also will not take no for an answer.

SPEAKER_03 16:19

That was a funny scene when she gave it the second lecturerist man, the hotel key from the first lecturer's man. BT Dubb's membership keys were a real thing. When the Playboy Clubs first started, it was a physical key, a metal key with a little emblem, sometimes silver, sometimes gold. And it it it didn't open well, I mean, it there was the insinuation it could open up secret areas of the club, and maybe it could, but it was mainly to show this is this is the real term, the door bunny. So the door bunny could verify your membership. And it was something men enjoyed flashing around on their keychain. It then it then moved to like the credit card type looking thing. So you would you give them your quote unquote key, and the servers and bartenders could swipe it and keep track of your drinks and your bill and all of that. But uh both the key and the card key back then were status symbols. Status symbols. Yes, it showed you were allowed access, you've been vetted, you were approved, and uh that women named Carmel would be super excited to spend some time with you.

SPEAKER_07 17:36

I don't know if they have membership cards, but I do know that there are bars in Utah, Salt Lake City, that kind of require you to be a member to order alcohol.

SPEAKER_03 17:49

That is the most random thing you've ever said. What how do you know what Utah does?

SPEAKER_07 17:54

Uh, because my brother used to live in Salt Lake City for a little while, and they told me about needing to be a member, quote unquote. It's kind of, I guess, a way around a certain state law in uh Utah. But anyway, let's get back to the episode. Kelly is being introduced on stage as a new singing talent. It is revealed very after Kelly is lip syncing for her life. But oddly, Jill and Sabrina seem to not be in on this plan that she is lip syncing. Next.

SPEAKER_03 18:28

Did you notice what she was wearing?

SPEAKER_07 18:31

I did notice what she was wearing. Why don't you tell everybody?

SPEAKER_03 18:34

She we she is wearing a gown we would see her wear with the other angels on the cover of Time Magazine, that very famous Time Magazine cover. It debuted the Time magazine two days before this episode aired. What do you think about that?

SPEAKER_07 18:51

I think that is very cool, except that they all look very serious on that cover.

SPEAKER_03 18:55

Well, they didn't want to do the cover.

SPEAKER_07 18:59

Oh, right. Uh, but it came up kind of last minute while they were filming, didn't it?

SPEAKER_03 19:03

Yes, and they did not want to do the cover because they were so exhausted from their work schedule, so that's probably why.

SPEAKER_07 19:10

Carmel has shown up with Danny Aletto. Danny Aletto is a rival of Tony Mann's, and Oletto and Carmel are very rowdy and obnoxious guests. The floor manager, Victor, asks the loud couple to quiet down and respect the performance. This causes Aletto to turn violent and swing at Victor. Mann then manhandles Oletto. You see what I did there? And kick him out. Paula walks into the dressing room to check on Jill. Jill has worked at the club for a week. Paula asks if Jill would be interested in being in a photo shoot that highlights California felines. Jill agrees due to the last feline victim having been deemed the next centerfold right before her murder.

SPEAKER_04 20:12

Have you seen the Charlie's Angels Deluxe Hideaway House? Charlie's Angels. Beautiful dogs, big, beautiful house. The hideaway house is over two and a half feet tall, and you can turn it to face the sun. Charlie's Angels Hideaway House is a big, beautiful place. There's Sabrina at the hidden wall. Angels, I have an excitement for you! Charlie's Angels Deluxe Hideaway House. Angels and House also sold separately.

SPEAKER_07 20:42

Man's business partner, Dave Earhardt, is having a very late-night phone call with Oletto about not letting man ruin his own company, and that man needs to be pushed out immediately. Aletto does not agree, and his opinion is man being pushed out should happen slowly. Dave's response is that it is not good enough, uh, and he can start escalating the body count to quicken man's exit and hangs up angrily. A very specific term uh used by Earhard. A little I don't know if that term was like meant to be used to confuse the audience, or of course suggest that maybe he is the killer. The next morning, Sabrina walks onto Mann's at-home tennis court and introduces herself to Earhart. Earhart is negative in his response and shares that he thinks the club will not do enough business to pay for this costly photo shoot that is about to happen, and is very skeptical of Sabrina's sudden appearance and that he intends to check on Sabrina's history. The Angels reconvene at the agency and are discussing the case with Bosley. Aletto's competing magazine circulation has gone up as man's feline circulation has gone down, and Aletto wants to buy out feline enterprises. The company, without all of the recent incidents, would be in very good standing and should still be doing extremely well, implying that it truly must be sabotage. Bosley asks about suspects, and Jill provides the names of the two gentlemen working for Mann, Earhard and Victor. Victor clearly cannot handle rejection and has been demoted three or four times by Mann. Earhart constantly shares his dissatisfaction with the state of the business, and Sabrina suggests that Kelly look through Earhart's notes. Jill and Sabrina are off to uh the feline photo shoot back at the estate. Jill is yet again playing tennis in an episode while the photographer snaps away. Jill is being eyed by Tony, Paula, and Dave as they discuss the centerfold. Tony spots Sabrina and greets her and mentions how sad he was the previous evening sleeping in his own guest room by himself. Sabrina playfully placates him by agreeing to sleep in the guest room tonight. I am unsure if this is all cover talk or whether or not Mann thinks that this private investigator who is currently uh working for him is going to share a bed with him, also.

SPEAKER_03 23:51

May I give you a little bit of Farah trivia? Farah appeared in Playboy magazine in real life a few times in a few ways. Farah appeared in Playboy in 1976, but she was not nude. She appeared again in 1995 at age 48 and in 1997, both times nude. The 1997 one sort of uh republished some of the 1995 picks, as well as a few unused ones. And then she did a Playboy pay-per-view later released on VHS and then DVD in 1997, and the name of it was All of Me. What do you think about that?

SPEAKER_07 24:35

Was it indeed all of her? I don't know. We saw that pay-per-view would be.

SPEAKER_03 24:40

Listen, we saw all of her. I until this episode did not know Farah did anything in real life with Playboy, had no clue.

SPEAKER_07 24:48

Oh, all right.

SPEAKER_03 24:50

But you knew.

SPEAKER_07 24:51

Uh yeah, I did know. Uh, you know, I want to say that um it's mentioned in the series That 70s show. Uh, because they do talk about Charlie's Angels a lot, because Tanya Roberts. Yes, that's exactly right.

SPEAKER_03 25:12

And Merried Effects to Bernie.

SPEAKER_07 25:14

Plays uh the parent of one of the kids in that 70s show.

SPEAKER_03 25:17

Along with Linda Day George.

unknown 25:19

Bastard!

SPEAKER_07 25:21

Yes, she is also in it.

SPEAKER_03 25:23

Well, tell us what happens with the tennis balls.

SPEAKER_07 25:26

The tennis ball machine is focused on by the camera, as Earhart's hand can be seen placing a red ball into the basket of the machine. Mann requests some close-up shots of Jill, who excuses herself to brush her hair for a moment before returning. The tennis ball machine resumes firing off, and the tension builds as we view the red ball get closer and closer to being queued up for launch. The music intensifies while Tony instructs Jill to smile and try different swings for an array of photos. The red ball explodes on impact with Jill's racket, and Jill falls to the ground as onlookers run to her aid.

SPEAKER_03 26:11

With a blanket.

SPEAKER_07 26:13

Yes, the blanket is very important.

SPEAKER_03 26:16

When I've just had a tennis ball explode in my face, do you know what I need, Colby?

SPEAKER_07 26:20

I need a warm blanket around.

SPEAKER_03 26:22

I need a hot woolen blanket in the LA sun.

SPEAKER_07 26:25

Somebody bring a blanket!

SPEAKER_04 26:27

Come on with that blanket.

SPEAKER_03 26:29

They are torn up because Joe Munro needs this hot woolly blanket to recover from a facial explosion of tennis ball stuffed with.

SPEAKER_07 26:42

I noticed that too while I was watching it. I was like, if he doesn't get this damn blanket, I don't know what is gonna happen.

SPEAKER_03 26:48

I don't know. I I don't know how you even make an exploding tennis ball, but I'm gonna look into it.

SPEAKER_07 26:54

Earhart pulls Tony off of Jill and suggests that Jill has grounds for suing the company and that this is the perfect time to offer the centerfold to Jill as compensation and to circumvent any sort of potential litigation.

SPEAKER_03 27:10

Earhart is played by actor Alan Fudge with lots of television credits, and I did a whole bunch of uh just call just wait, Colby, just wait. First of all, he was in Aaron Spelling's 90210. We've talked about that a lot. Dallas. You know how I feel about Dallas. I do. And so cool, he was in The Man from Atlantis, which was Patrick Duffy's first series, it got canceled, and he went on to get the part of Bobby Ewing in Dallas.

SPEAKER_07 27:47

Oh, wonderful. We'll see him again.

SPEAKER_03 27:49

He was in a short-lived television series, Paper Dolls, also starring Dak Rambo from Dallas, and I love a Star Trek connection all the way back to episode one. We were making those Terry Farrell and Jonathan Frakes, the former from Deep Space Nine, the latter from Star Trek The Next Generation, when we were talking about David Ogden Styres, and also uh Larry Linville from MASH, who David Ogden Styers replaced. What about that? And two episodes of Murder She Wrote, and Fall Guy with Lee Majors, and Scarecrow and Mrs. King with Kate Jackson.

SPEAKER_07 28:32

Yeah, he had part in the change of uh TV history.

SPEAKER_03 28:36

I hope everyone visualized my mic drop.

SPEAKER_07 28:41

Gloved hands are seeing Exploring Jill's Purse.

SPEAKER_03 28:45

Thank you for acknowledging my fabulousness, by the way. Thank you for that. Your words. We're gonna get back to the episode. Does everyone hear how well I'm treated on this podcast?

SPEAKER_07 29:01

Can I restart?

SPEAKER_03 29:02

No, we're leaving that in.

SPEAKER_07 29:05

Someone's going through Jill's burn and removing a key that is placed onto molding clay for an imprint. Paula is confirming to Jill the coast is clear and no one is hiding in her home. But before Paula departs, she requests Jill turn down the centerfold because of uh the obvious danger that Jill could be in. Jill phones Sabrina to discuss the centerfold theory and suggests Kelly get to work on Earhard. Kelly is walking up to Earhart's home as Bosley approaches him at Mann's estate. Bosley introduces himself as Tom Edwards, who is writing a book on Tony Mann, an unauthorized biography that Earhart dismisses and begins to walk away from until Bosley says he will attach Earhart's name to it, whether or not he participates. Kelly enters Earhart's office and begins to go through his date planner. After picking the lock of the desk, Kelly writes down some interesting details from the planner that reads, Bus Boy walkout on New Year's Eve. But the date on the page is December 26, four days before New Year's Eve. Kelly hears a car door slam shut and scurries out of the house. Discussing her findings back at the agency, Kelly details that she recalled Tony mentioning the busboy walkout. So she checked the dates of the other disastrous events, and Earhart had them all marked in the planner a week in advance of the sabotage. The theory now is Earhart planned the sabotage so that feline enterprises could be purchased by Oletto, but run by Dave himself. This leaves Sabrina with the task of letting Tony know Tony is being double-crossed by his best friend Earhard. Tony goes on a long monologue about starting the magazine and company with Dave and his absolute disbelief in Sabrina's theory. Tony steps away to his bedroom, and as he approaches the bed, Sabrina has spotted wires attached to the bed frame. Sabrina orders Tony to move away from the bed and tosses an item onto the bed, and the frame erupts and sparks and catches fire. Kelly calls Earhart as the singer from the club to reveal her plan of blackmail and requests$100,000 in exchange for her silence. They agree to meet at an abandoned oil refinery at 10 a.m. As one does. Yes, as one does. This is after the banks open, so he can get that money. Kelly pulls up to the refinery and clues us in on being wired by talking to an unseen Jill, Bosley, and Sabrina. A voice echoes and Kelly spots Earhart atop a refinery tank. The exchange is brief as Kelly opens an empty briefcase and verbally remarks on the gun pointed at her, prompting the team to quickly exit the car. Kelly shoves the briefcase at Earhart and runs across the tank as Earhart opens fire. Kelly and Earhard collide and struggle on the edge of the tank. Bosley fires off a round, letting Earhard know he is outnumbered, but the distraction serves as too much of a surprise. And Earhard falls off over the edge, hits Kelly's car, and then hits the ground. An ambulance then drives away, and we focus on the gang informing Charlie. Earhart is unconscious, but should pull through. And Charlie compliments the angels on a job well done.

SPEAKER_03 33:17

Talk about a monologue like you mentioned earlier. Goodness.

SPEAKER_07 33:22

There is a lot going on in this episode, and we ain't done yet.

SPEAKER_03 33:27

Oh no. I mean, cool.

SPEAKER_07 33:31

Jill is getting ready for bed, and as soon as she closes her eyes to sleep, the gloved hands return. Earhart is clearly not the gloved assailant because he's in the hospital. He is not. The lock is picked, and the intruder reveals scissors and chloroform. Jill is snuck up on. This made me lol. Is that wrong?

SPEAKER_03 34:02

Those are my notes.

SPEAKER_07 34:04

I know they are, but what's so funny about it?

SPEAKER_03 34:07

Snug up on. Hey, what are you? What happened to you? I was snuck up on. Just take us back to the bobtails of your youth.

SPEAKER_07 34:18

What's wrong with that?

SPEAKER_03 34:20

I don't think that's a thing.

SPEAKER_07 34:21

Well, now we don't think people get snuck up on? I snuck you're sneaking past tense snuck. Or sneaked, I guess.

SPEAKER_03 34:31

I sneak. I don't think snuck is a word. We can cut all of this.

SPEAKER_07 34:35

Tell me whether or not you say I've never been snuck up on and tell Chris to like sit down and hush.

SPEAKER_03 34:43

Wouldn't one say she sneaked up on me?

SPEAKER_07 34:48

Yes, probably, but snuck is a word.

SPEAKER_03 34:51

Snuck up on.

SPEAKER_07 34:52

You've never been snuckered.

SPEAKER_03 34:54

How did you spend your vacation? Girl, somebody snuck up on me.

SPEAKER_01 35:00

Shut up.

SPEAKER_03 35:01

Took my room key and then put a chloroform fill towel over my. I'm gonna have you're this is making I'm gonna have to have another little drinky right now because you're causing me to drink. So the killer, the killer is at Jill's beach house, which by the way, I was sure I was sure it was the same beach house from last episode with little Bobby Skip. And I did a screen It is not. Yeah, I did a screen cap and I went and I looked back to see if that was little Bobby Skip's mom's house.

SPEAKER_07 35:33

Is it the same, um, is it the same from uh the blind man's house?

SPEAKER_03 35:40

That I don't know, but you but you know what happened to little Bobby Skip's mother in the last episode.

SPEAKER_07 35:46

She was an airplane and it went down.

SPEAKER_03 35:48

She was snuck up on.

SPEAKER_07 35:52

The intruder is standing beside the bed, applying the chloroform to a cloth. Jill manages to wrestle the intruder off of her, but the gloved intruder flees the house. The team is sitting with Jill discussing what the next steps are, as Earhart is clearly not killing Centerfolds. The angels determine the only way forward is for Jill to accept the Centerfold offer. Jill meets with Tony and Paula to accept the Centerfold offer. Tony provides Jill with security, and Paula offers her guest room while Jill looks for a safer place to live in town. Tony agrees to try and schedule the shoot as soon as possible, and Jill is off to gather her things and meet Paula in the evening at her place. Tony and Paula discuss closing the club for audits to discover how badly things were mismanaged by Earhard, while Victor can be seen in the background listening to the discussion. Sabrina arrives at the club and lets Tony in on the plan to focus on Victor as the only remaining suspect. Tony laughs off the plan and shares that Victor has had two heart attacks and gets dizzy from very little physical activity, and he physically could not be killing healthy young women. Kelly and Sabrina are going over details of the case, and it dawns on Sabrina they overlook the possibility a woman could be killing fienlines. Paula is the only one who knows the layout of Jill's home, and that Jill is with Paula right now. Sabrina calls Paula and is told that Jill has not arrived. Kelly and Sabrina rush out to head to Paula's. Paula leaves the room and we see Jill on her sofa. Paula lied to Sabrina. Paula reminisces about being a centerfold, and Jill yawns, handing her empty cup of tea to Paula. Paula offers for Jill to rest. Sabrina and Kelly have arrived and race up to Paula's apartment. Paula reveals the bottle of chloroform from a drawer with the scissors and cloth. Paula places the items on the nightstand, ready to poison Jill. Paula covers Jill's face with the soiled cloth. Sabrina bangs on the door shouting, Paula grabs the scissors on her way out of the room. Sabrina and Kelly burst into the apartment and are met with Paula attacking, brandishing the scissors. Sabrina wrestles with Paula and grabs her hair. Paula's hair is a wig and scars can be seen all over her scalp as Paula cries. Paula runs to the balcony and begins to explain she was in a car crash years ago, and her body suffered severe burns on her right side and all of her hair. She rips the right sleeve off, revealing her right arm, covered in scarred flesh. She laments how the doctors could not do anything, and that no one understands how she didn't want to hurt the girls, but they were all so young and beautiful with their lives ahead of them. Paula then attempts to climb over the railing of the balcony to fall. Sabrina and Kelly clutch onto Paula and pull her back onto the balcony. And the scene ends with a weeping Paula balled into Sabrina's arms.

SPEAKER_03 39:24

I'd have a couple of things to say really quick. I'm sorry if I sneaked up on you. Which by the way there's a fact checker here in the room with us, and she has confirmed colloquially snuck is what is used.

SPEAKER_07 39:40

But it's sort of like saying This is the second time I have said a word that you're like, that can't possibly be right. And then you look it up and you're like, oh, it's a colloquialism.

SPEAKER_03 39:51

Well, of course things are colloquial, ain't started up. Don't get me on this. Don't get me on this because you'll lose.

SPEAKER_07 39:57

The point is I am right and you are wrong. No This is the second documented occasion.

SPEAKER_03 40:02

It's much like saying, It is I. That's correct. But colloquial.

SPEAKER_07 40:06

That's me.

SPEAKER_03 40:07

Colloquial speak now. I can't pronounce words. Colloquially, it would be the one, not me. Oh, a lot is due to you. This actress is played by Chan Shooton. She passed away recently in 2021. Here are a few connections. She guest starred on the original Star Trek, C, another connection, as well as, well, you know, several other TV shows, but one stuck out, Hello Larry. I remember that. It was short-lived, McLean Stevenson. It was on NBC, but there's another MASH connection. And I have to talk about the wig. Now, this is not the actress's fault. I'm just pointing something out. It's hard to do a weekly show. It's hard to film for six days, one day off, six days. I get it. I acknowledge that. But Jan shooting is using her real hair. Then in this episode, like when she's struggling with the angels with the pair of scissors, she's clearly wearing a wig because it slides off. Then when she's over evolved out. Yes. And when she's out on the balcony attempting to jump and having her break down, she's and and they're doing close-ups, and it's her real hair. Her and then I think they cut to a wig on the stunt woman. And it it's just, it's it's so bad. It reminded me of Heart to Heart episodes where Stephanie Powers, her stunt double, would come in with a wig on, a completely different color. Stephanie Powers is a redhead, and the stunt double would come in with just like, who cares? Hair, brown hair, what blonde, just whatever. It didn't even matter.

SPEAKER_07 41:48

It can't be as bad as the uh Wonder Woman stunt person's wig and how hard it looked um up over that tiara.

SPEAKER_03 41:58

Uh by the way, that is quite a famous stunt woman. I can't think of her name right now, but she's very famous.

SPEAKER_07 42:05

She was just awarded, I think.

SPEAKER_03 42:06

She she recently passed, like maybe a couple of years ago, but pioneer trailblazing stunt woman. Clearly not on the set of Charlie's Angels, however. But why why don't you take us home on what seems like like part 14 of this episode?

SPEAKER_07 42:21

Right. I I will say that uh I think Jan does a great job in this episode. I really like it. I really liked her.

SPEAKER_03 42:28

Really?

SPEAKER_07 42:29

I really do. I think she did a fantastic job.

SPEAKER_03 42:32

I'm sure that's why I looked her up. I thought, wow, she is killing it. This is one good actor, and I'm sad she was not in more.

SPEAKER_07 42:41

At the agency, Tony Mann is toasting the angels on a job well done. And Charlie lets the angels in on the fact Tony has provided each of them with a generous bonus. Paula is in the hospital, and the doctor remarked she has a chance of recovery. Charlie bids farewell to the team, but not before he mentions to Tony that he'll see him next week. And our episode concludes as it began, but with the Angels riddling a new source of information with questions about Charlie as Tony shouts for help from Bosley.

SPEAKER_05 43:19

Charlie.

SPEAKER_04 43:20

Bosley.

SPEAKER_05 43:21

What kind of music does he like? What kind of Rem and I?

SPEAKER_03 43:24

Very cute way to end an episode. Thank you, Colby, for taking us on that journey.

SPEAKER_07 43:28

Yeah, I really enjoy this episode.

SPEAKER_03 43:30
