Agatha is sitting in the car finishing up a first (blind) date with Fitzy. Fitzy seems nice enough but Agatha is not feeling the romantic vibes on this date. She is thinking what now, how long do we have to keep going here? We gave it a shot it is just not there. Fitzy is thinking... who knows what he is thinking probably not much. All of the sudden Fitzy speaks up in one last Hail Mary.
Fitzy: (scrolling through his iPod) "Do you like musicals?"
Agatha: Uh, sure
Fitzy: (consumed with nervous energy, sets down the Ipod)...
One would expect at this point that he would have chosen a song from the options on his iPod, right? You are assuming he is going to play a song from a musical. That is what Agatha thought also. However, instead Fitzy takes a deep breath and launches into his most spectacular performance ever. Made even more tense and emotional by the fact that he is simultaneously driving. Agatha cannot recall what song Fitzy performed that evening but I like to imagine it as "Point of No Return" from Phantom of the Opera. I imagine it as having that same intense, slightly odd, surge of unwanted emotion. Ok in Phantom Christine kind of wants it, but I grantee that Agatha didn't. Agatha and Fitzy hit an entirely different point of no return in that moment.
