Luckily, they have a brand-new science consultantjoining the team to lead the way in the form of… “Dear Evan Hansen” star Andrew Barth Feldman?Producer’s Cheryl and Steve love this new addition to the team. Kay and Bobby do not. And EmmaOlivia has a few demands that must be met before signing on to the role she’s forced everyone tohire her for, including the creation of a Schmackery’s blue-sprinkled cookie in her honor.
