There's a good unintentional meta-joke in that story - they keep mentioning Pierce Brosnan being on set. Pierce had previously played Lobster Man inn order to fool a band of pirate shrimp on his guest episode the sublime Muppets Tonight. He had a giant claw-catapult to add to the awesome.
Although the story I was thinking of was "The Book of Ezekiel", where May specifically tells MJ she'd be suited for the stage.
