So turns out…the Illuminati is obsessed with Lacey because she’s brilliant in some exotic way. According to them.
And…it’s possible.
“Why did you take the Cordelia McPherson Show on the road with Lacey?” asks Glen Close.
Chris Hayes stares at her with a weird smile.
“Did you fart?” asks Glen Close.
Chris shakes his head no. He still has a weird smile.
Glen Close’s lip twitches. She laughs. “Chris…what…happened?”
He smiles and shrugs.
“I was obsessed with…Cordelia McPherson.” he says, fondly, wistfully.
“No. Chris…you are Cordelia McPherson.” says Glen Close.
Later.
Chris stares in the mirror.
“I’m not a man? I’m a woman? No. I’m…hmm.
I’m a woman.” says Chris Hayes.
“No!! You are like Cordelia McPherson.” says Glen Close.
“I thought you meant that literally.” says Chris Hayes.
“No! No! I meant that…metaphorically.” says Glen Close.
“Dammit. I’m confused.” says Chris Hayes. “I’ve been watching Penelope Keith- I am her!”
“Do you really identify with her!?” asks Lacey.
“Yeah? Slightly.” says Chris.
“You are her.” says the CIA. “Metaphorically. Are you…in a good marriage?”
“Oh golly. My darling Kate…let’s me dabble. She lets me spread my wings of love…and exercise my romantic mind.” says Chris, in character. He smiles fondly.
“Chris…did you…truly assume she was like you?” asks Glen Close.
“Yes! I did!” says Chris.
“So…you were trying to beat the shit…out of Margo Leadbetter!?” asks Ohio.
“Ahh…I am Margo Leadbetter.” says Chris.
