College seniors Amara Granderson (left) and Maya Elany and College sophomore Michelle Chu (middle) perform on Good Talk, Oberlin’s live, biweekly sketch comedy show put on during spring semester. Hosted by Elany, the show opened its second season Monday night in the ’Sco with a montage set to “Don’t Stop Believin’, ” before diving into the episode’s theme: a spooky whodunit that follows a search for the show’s previous host, Jessi Gaston. What was initially posited as a murder mystery ended in humorous hijinks and a good-cop, bad-cop routine, as the plot unfolded to reveal that Elany accidentally sent Gaston on a yearlong cruise.
