Recap

MacGyver's friend Penny Parker invites him to see a rehearsal of the new musical that she's starring in, Cleo Rocks. As MacGyver arrives at the old theater, a mysterious figure watches him on the security camera. MacGyver goes into the audience and watches as Penny and her fellow dancers perform. The director, Jacque LaRue, comes out in a wheelchair and berates the male dancer, Gary Newton. The producer, Benjamin Wintergreen, demands a meeting with LaRue to discuss the expenses and the director reluctantly agrees. MacGyver compliments Penny and admits he's impressed. Penny explains that LaRue contacted her agent and hired her directly for the role of Cleopatra. Meanwhile, Wintergreen complains about the expenses and the fact that Penny isn't a star. LaRue insists Penny's a great discovery and Wintergreen walks off. The director tells Penny not to pay any attention to Wintergreen and calls for another rehearsal. As Penny begins, a light comes loose and MacGyver pulls her out of the way just in time as it falls. LaRue notes that the production has been plagued by accidents and complains that Wintergreen doesn't pay for upkeep...
