“Speaking of the showâany news?” Susan asked with a hint of trepidation.

“Didn't I tell you? The insurance company reinstated the policy once Jack and Karen were arrested. So we start taping again next week. And guess what else? We've been extended another twenty-six weeks! The network wanted to cash in on all the publicity we've been getting.”

“Marcy, that's fantastic!” Susan cried happily, giving her a hug.

“Congratulations, Marcy,” Nancy chimed in. “That's great news.”

“Want to hear something even wilder?” Marcy asked with a mischievous grin. “Guess who called me today, wanting to be a guest on the show again? Samantha Savage!”

“You're kidding!” George gasped.

“Isn't it incredible?” Marcy said with a giggle. “She said she never realized that having an image problem would be so good for her image! She said, âI'm writing new music about it now. Music that'll really knock people's socks offâmusic with real, meaningful words.'â” Everyone laughed at Marcy's dead-on impression of Samantha Savage.

“I think everyone in America will be watching when you two get together again,” Nancy said as she and the others sat down at the table.

“Well,” Marcy bubbled, “they're all invited to tune in.”

“Before I forget, Marcy,” Nancy said. “Would you sign this photo for my friend Bess?”

“With pleasure,” Marcy said, taking the photo and signing it with a flourish. “And now can I have your autograph?”

“Mine?” Nancy asked, taken aback.

“Sure! You're a celebrity as far as I'm concerned,” Marcy told her. “Besides, thanks to you, the hottest talk show on TV is alive and talking!”
