After years of struggle, aspir-

Lacy (Maggie Lawson, “Psych”)
finally gets a real break when
she nails her audition for a
new stage adaptation of “A
Christmas Carol.” Her lucky
streak seems to continue when
romance unexpectedly blooms
with her director, TV star Julian
Walker (Brennan Elliott). As
opening night approaches,
however, the historic theater in
which they’re due to perform
loses its lease, which will mean
closing the show, barring some
miracle.
The Librarians
Wednesday at 8 p.m., 11:01
p.m. on TNT
The hit fantasy series returns for
Season 4 with “And the Dark

facility literally at loose ends.
Elsewhere this season, fans can
