Ninja and Special K attend the AIDS Candlelight Vigil during Toronto’s Gay Pride Week. They suspect foul play in the park but any crisis is averted. A new character, Sherlock, is introduced to the show. Special K accuses Ninja of sharing nothing but the most mundane of matters with you. Ninja disagrees. In a not so rare surrealistic moment, they pass Dorothy Gale and a walking condom. The evening ends not surprisingly with the eleven o’clock news. 24:53 minutes.

Watch this video of the Toronto Etobicoke School of the Arts doing a medley from Rent during the AIDS Candlelight Vigil.
