Palm Royale Recap: Shotgun Wedding


Maxine manages to wrap up loose ends, but there’s still enough time for more to go wrong.

But for a Shiny Sheet from 20 years ago, she has to make a trip to their offices to peruse the archive, where their editor Ann (Mindy Cohn, who played Natalie on The Facts of Life) has some follow-up questions about Maxine’s supposed pageant titles. She was convinced by Virginia (Amber Chardae Robinson) not to throw away such valuable information but rather use it against the upper echelon to help their own causes, starting with Nixon’s ambassador and Douglas’s BFF, Perry. It goes well for the audience because watching Kristen Wiig hornily flail on the ground is so funny that even Ricky Martin appears to break, but it doesn’t go well for Maxine when he (being gay) rejects her advances.
