Kristin is ecstatic over landing the starring role in a play -- even if the play is off-off-off-off-off-off Broadway in some basement in Brooklyn. But, hey, a Manhattan debut is a Manhattan debut. Terry Bradshaw moves into one of Tommy's apartment buildings, and when his generous donation to Kristin's production becomes a one-upping contest between him and Tommy, Tommy puts away his wallet, and makes Terry write Kristin a check for the remainder of the $7000 she'll need to fund the show. Tommy and Aldo go down to the theater to see Kristin do her thing, but Tommy's apathetic compliment -- "Good job" -- makes Kristin think that he didn't like her work. So she confronts him, and he admits that he just wasn't buying her climactic kiss with the lead actor, what, since the play is called "A Kiss Before Midnight" and everything. When she asks why not, he says that the best acting comes from experience, and she clearly hasn't had much experience -- which reduces her to tears. Kristin goes to Santa for advice in the passion department, but when she's no help, she turns to Reverend Thornhill to find out how to throw herself into her character. Instead of helping her, he just babbles about starlets of the '40s and '50s. Right before the curtain goes up, Tommy tries to get her to forgive him, since she did ask for his honest opinion, after all. To show him he was wrong, she gives him one hell of a passionate kiss before going on stage. After the show, a dumbstruck Tommy tells her she was amazing--oh, and the performance was good, too. But Kristin won't own up to the kiss being anything more than acting. Add a recap »
