It's two and a half weeks until show time. Sarina has to conclude the problem issues with two of the cast members. Although Jon makes his decision of whether to attend or miss the dress rehearsal and Sarina responds to Jon's decision, Sheila thinks she's come up with the perfect solution for Jon to be able to attend the rehearsal, keep his part as the Scarecrow, and be with Marcus that day. That solution may be the reason why Jon shows a new lightness in his performance which has not yet been evident to date. And Taz returns stating that she had no idea her absence at the last rehearsal, which she never meant to be a sign that she wouldn't be returning, was an issue. She has to face Sarina, who can choose to accept or not accept Taz's explanation, especially in light of the fact that Clare stepped up to the plate as Miss Minch at the last rehearsal. If Sarina does welcome Taz back, she has to lay down the law with Taz. As this rehearsal progresses, problems with more cast members arise. The first is with Sandra, who seems not quite herself, which she attributes to a medical issue. And although Sarina sees no problem, the second is with Natalie in the eyes of Sheila, who believes that her five year old daughter cannot separate her role as "musical director" from "Mom". This rehearsal also marks the first time the cast will perform with costumes. Some issues arise in this area, especially with the flying monkeys who may not be able to sing or dance let alone fly if they can't breathe under their monkey masks.
