Unfortunately, Edmund and Hannibal Lecter were unavailable, so she had to settle for Cyrus — the master criminal who works without gloves and leaves his lockpicks at the scene. Lex Luthor he's not. But Springfield isn't exactly awash in geniuses (See: Ashlee's bungled frame job), so a gal has to make do.
