The clues make sense for The Goldfish to be Vanessa Hudgens (I immediately thought of the same thing Rita did, with "the show must go on"- Vanessa did that Grease Live! show right after her father died)
Vanessa was very visibly pregnant (like, third-trimester pregnant) at the Oscars last month. But if these episodes were taped back in September, that is a full 6, almost 7 months ago I suppose.
