I bet this is a short holiday story. “A Chin to Die For” is probably a tribute / one night show about / for Dick Tracy, where the cast of the strip will be present, and Kandikane will go into labor and give birth on Christmas Day.
Lucky old Vitamin has a pretty good chin, but is it a chin with which to lead? What part otherwise might he consider “his greatest” in this Patterson Playhouse production? Is it a Christmas-oriented show? Or is it a crime thriller, bringing J. Straightedge Trustworthy to life? So many question, so few answers. We need more “traffic” (in the code-breaker sense of the word) to suss out what’s going on.
I note merely as a footnote-worthy bit of trivia that we are not shown today just how pregnant Kandikane currently is. Might be far enough along for an in-story delivery (Christmas? —As several have suggested)….

What does a cute young woman like Kandikane see in an old guy like Vitamin, anyway? I never got the impression that he was a huge celebrity.

Which role is Kandi, and, VItamin talking about? THe one Vitamin will play in the Patterson, or, the one that deals with that “bun in Kandi’s oven”?
