Window gobos for Kate Monster hopefully singing about the mix tape Princeton made for her

Red hearts and pink streaks for the Round the Clock Cafe. Brian sings of missing underwear. He's also missing humor.

The main act, Lucy the Slut. More red hearts and pink streaks.

Bright and ceremonious for Christmas Eve and Brian's wedding

"There's a Fine, Fine Line"

Windows as Princeton has shut himself in, depressed. The Bad Idea Bears try to get him to go outside.
