This episode is a special 90-minute musical episode. All music is from Phantom of the Opera, with some of the actual lyrics as well. The episode starts out in black-and-white 50 years later. Esteban is wearing a full-body cast, with an older Maddie beside him. Dozens of people are in an abandoned Tipton Hotel. A man stands in front of the group, holding a cymbal-playing elephant.
Auctioneer: Lot 664, a cymbal-playing elephant in perfect condition. Bidding begins at 10 cents.
Maddie raises her hand, bidding 10 cents.
Auctioneer: Are there any other bidders? Going once, going twice. Sold, to the woman with the big lips!
Maddie goes up to collect the elephant, then takes it over to Esteban, who tries to grab it with his uninjured hand.
Esteban: singing A junkie piece indeed. Unable to play a note correctly.
Auctioneer: Next is Lot 665, a chandelier that broke during a horrible "incident" 50 years ago. My humbly bored assistant will now throw the cloth off, and the chandelier will be raised, thus beginning a bunch of very loud music that will transform this black-and-white world into color. So, if you will.
The assistant throws the cloth off, and the Phantom of the Opera music begins. The chandelier is raised, and the show roles to the opening credits, still playing the music. The screen slowly turns to color, and is all color by the end of the opening credits.
