Kate and Alexia successfully infiltrated the burlesque theatre, posing as Mr.Kaye and Mr. Alec. Here is their report, given by Kate:
"Both Alexia and I arrived at Leigha's shop, by the back entrance, going in as women, but leaving auspiciously disguised as gentlemen! After binding our female curves, Leigha provided suits, cravats, and hats. I provided fake mustache and facial hair, and spectacles. Our hair was straightened and pulled back tightly.
At the burlesque theatre, we entered separately, each taking a seat near the back. I could spot Mr. Henderson overseeing the stage, and nodded a greeting. The audience was mainly composed of men, with a few accompanying ladies. Most were enjoying refreshments provided by the theatre company.
Exploits of Leigha LadyHawke and the Secret Society. Leigha is a 19th century woman, acclaimed seamstress, who vows to not forget her beginnings and so creates a secret society with the goal to help the advancement of women, and eliminate tyrannical & subjugating employers in any way possible.

The Scarlett Intervention, Step 2: Expose! (continued)
As told by Kate:
Alexia & I set off to the theater in our established male disguises a few hours before the evening burlesque show. Showing the tokens at the door, we were directed to a narrow stairwell, and descended into a small room, lit only by a few wall sconces.
In the center of the room was a small white table- curiously concave. We were directed to sit on a bench in front of the table, and a short time later an attendant entered the room who greeted 'Mr. Kay & Mr. Alec' and offered us a drink from the bar situated in the back of the room. Sitting back at the bench, sipping our drinks, the lights were further dimmed- so much we could barely make out the attendant, who was reaching for a long wooden rod which hung down from the ceiling. As our eyes accustomed to the dark, the white table seemed to come alive with a vision of Scarlett!
