What could this possibly have to do with the cummerbunds? Find out by listening!

Ted died on prom night in 1996, and his spirit has spent the last thirty years stuck in a pink cummerbund in a thrift store. Brandon just wanted a tux that would match his date's dress. Now one of them wants closure, one of them wants his body back, and prom starts at eight.
