Winner > Best Actress (Grace Kiley-Audience Choice)
Synopsis
At the classic Italian restaurant, the Lamplighter, Agatha, an empathic hostess, is distracted from her failing psychic effort to “foresee the future” in a deck of cards when Danny and his mother, Barbara enter. Agatha with a broad smile inquires about the number in their party and is answered by them simultaneously in discordant replies “Two.//Three.” The pair squabble on this disparity but Danny dominantly reiterates there are only the two of them this evening. Nodding and grabbing menus, Agatha leads the duo to a table. As she pulls the seat out for Barbara who begins to sit, Barbara suddenly leaps into the air as if pinched on the rear exclaiming ‘You’re naughty!” Bewildered by this shocking moment Agatha steps back. Barbara quickly smooths over the situation by saying how Agatha is just so “naughty” for seating them at such a great table.
