Hacks Recap: Seen The Lights Go Out in Vegas

Deborah has finalized her outfit and is now meticulously planning her dramatic entrance at Madison Square Garden. She envisions being lifted from a large, glittering coffin by the Knicks dancers – specifically, short brunettes – while wearing a custom Schiaparelli ball-gag and straitjacket. (It was a surprisingly relevant detail to mention Schiaparelli!) Amanda points out that Deborah’s safety during this elaborate stunt is irrelevant if there’s no audience to see it – a hint of things to come. Since Deborah can’t make a public appearance as is, they need to find a solution. (The joke about Billy Joel promoting his concert by sailing around Manhattan was great: apparently, you can get a ticket for that even on the water!)
