There is a MINOR scene in the second episode of Librarians the next chapter.
(A great series BTW, highly recommend the series.)
Long story less long, the crew needs to stop a witch from finishing a dance that she is performing. If the dance finished at the right time, everyone in the theater will be killed including the extra ballerinas and crew that are under the control of the witch.
Charlie ambushes one of the mind-controlled ballerinas and off screen punches her light out. She then appears in the dancer's place. She does not take her uniform, just her place. There is no discovery scene but based on the dialogue, and the overall tone of the series, I have no problem in believing that the girl was fine. She just had a few bruises.
As I said, this one is mostly for completeness but may not be for everyone taste. It takes place towards the end of the episode.

Sounds interesting for Tv, thanks pal, ballerinas should be replaced much often

To be fair, whilst is might not be a USB scene in the most general sense, it still an enjoyable scene.
I like the whole "back of the line" scenario anyway, so I really liked this whole segment. As the ballerinas are walking out, we suddenly see one of the heroines appear from the curtains, grab the one ballerina at the back and quickly yank her behind the said curtain, we then hear a few punching sounds before we hear the ballerina make a groaning noise, indicating she's been knocked out. The heroine then appears and follows the other ballerinas on stage.
Damn, it's such a shame she doesn't steal her outfit, because the scene is so near perfection, that's it's criminal.
Thanks for finding though!

If you look at the idea of a ballerina disguise from a USB context, it wouldn't be the best of disguises.
Consider that ballerinas train for months, or even years to perfect their routines and suffer injuries because of it. Any infiltrator would have to commit to the training herself. It's one thing stealing a uniform, but something else entirely to pass yourself off successfully.
And there's the fact the dancer herself would be recognisable, by her coach, the other dancers and the world at large so replacing her wouldn't be possible or realistic.
Lastly, the infiltrator wouldn't be able to fulfill her objective or get access to restricted areas dressed like a ballerina. She would have to perform and if she doesn't then instant alert.

I'm thinking you too deep in it, ideal assasin killer or doppelganger can do everything, even if similar irl exist - we never find out, because that's professionalism ;D

It's not that easy, not matter whether your infiltrator is an assassin or doppelganger they still have to pass muster. Stealing a uniform doesn't always guarantee success. Having a disguise isn't just about bypassing security, you have to play the role you've assumed to maintain cover or else it's failure.

Like I'm was saying, it's not random victim if that's was real life, for all details need long month, but it's just comedy tv sci fi, here everyone can be fake and nobody understands it, that's what called "Magic media", people always wanna see something more, than just realism (a lot of definitely) and TV can give them it sometimes, that's what amazing about our genre , always was and be, I'm can understand your complaint, but it's fictional, so don't see even small problem here, imho, not documentary definitely

I'm not looking to debate, merely stating the facts as I see them. If you want my opinion it's not a particularly good scene ( no disrespect to blade for finding it), since the ballerinas outfit isn't stolen and the whole premise is daft in the extreme. I'm well aware that this is a work of fiction and perhaps I'm overthinking it but it doesn't really add anything to our trope. Had the ballerina been stripped then we would be having a very different conversation. These missed opportunities or examples of lazy writing as I call them are frustrating in the extreme when it comes to USB.

Fun scene with a enjoyably comedic tone. As Trackman said, the "last woman in line grabbed" coupled with the offscreen knockout with sound effects is always great. Unfortunate that the ballerina's clothes were not actually stolen (I suppose there was not much time for the mugger to change into her outfit, but still).
So this Librarians spinoff has had two different scenes of interest to our board thus far. Fingers crossed there are more in the future...
