If the second formers are grown-up, what are we? Ancient.

Josephine Jones.

I finally found the perfect school.

You can call me Matron Shipley.

I'm tired of always being in your shadow!

There's so much I haven't done!

I'm not just saying this because you're my sister,

you're a really great runner.

Albert Murray, I am an archaeologist.

There's something here.

Proof, Miss Grayling, that the chamber is here at Malory Towers.

SHE SCREAMS, TYRES SKID

This is Nurse Jane, Matron's replacement.

Apologies for the mix-up, we won't be needing a nurse any more.

Darrell, you really shouldn't. Oh... SHE LAUGHS

Oh, we've all signed it.

Oh, thank you. I thought it might make you feel better

about missing the lacrosse trials. Oh...

And why would I miss the trials?

Because of your ankle.

It's just a sprained ankle, nothing I can't handle.

Stop right there.

That ankle is still weak.

No exercise for at least a few days.

Oh, but we're trying out for the county team, I have to go.

It's not up for discussion.

SHE SIGHS

Go on.

Oh, er, do you girls know where I could find a nit comb?

Does someone have nits?

Yes. There's been an outbreak of lice in the West Tower,

so I need to inspect and treat every girl in the North Tower.

But you know what? This place is a maze.

SHE LAUGHS

I don't know where anything is.

Oh... Er, Sally said Matron left me a list?

Right.

Er...

Oh! Aha!

Right...

Eh? Er...

Oh, goodness.

What's this?

"Monitor mealtimes, collect laundry from the dorms..."

I mean, I'm a trained nurse, not a housekeeper.

Don't worry, I'm sure Matron will be back soon.

Er, yes. Yes, right... Erm...

SHE CHUCKLES

Take you...

Oh, no.

Um...

It's her first proper day.

I can tell.

THEY CHUCKLE

Sorry about the trials. Don't be.

I'm sure I can find a way to sneak out of here.

My ankle isn't that bad, look!

Please be careful.

Ta-da!

Nurse Jane, breakfast has started.

You can go, I'll be all right.

CHUCKLING: Are you trying to get rid of me?

I'm sure the girls will be fine.

They're not babies.

Aha!

Aha, yes!

NEARBY: Where is this nurse?

I take it you are the new matron?

Oh, no. No, I'm just the nurse.

I wouldn't...wouldn't dream of taking Matron's place.

But you must carry out Matron's duties, oui?

Oh, er, yes, yes.

Then why are you not in the dining hall, monitoring the girls?

Oh, um...

Allez!

NURSE JANE SIGHS

The thought of nits is giving me the heebie-jeebies.

Do you know what gives me the heebie-jeebies?

Treatment -

the smell of the lotion,

the agony of a nit comb.

ALL: Urgh!

THEY GIGGLE

Asseyez-vous!

I told you once already -

Nurse Jane might be new to Malory Towers,

but you girls should know better.

Good morning.

CHILDREN: Good morning, Nurse Jane.

WHISPERING: June. June!

WHISPERING CONTINUES

June, behind you!

Pay attention...

..and you...

..will never miss a trick.

JUNE: Er... Thanks, Nurse Jane.

Uh, I thought she was going to confiscate them.

Hmm! I think we're going to have some fun with our new matron.

Anyone have a king?

What are you doing? I thought you had to rest.

I'm fine! I've seen my father in action,

and I have strapped my ankle up tight.

Well, your father's a doctor, not you. Please, Alicia.

If I miss the trials, that will be me out of the team

for the rest of the tournament. I couldn't bear it.

Well, only if you're sure. Absolutely.

Right, let's warm up. OK, let's start with stretching.

Come on!

Just jog on the spot for now. Right, look.

Absolutely nothing to worry about.

OK? Let's do some real prep.

OK, ready? Yeah.

Hah! Come on, Alicia. Give me a real challenge.

Catch!

Ow! Ow! Darrell! Ooh! Ooh!

Careful, careful, careful. Agh. Agh. Careful, careful.

Come on. Come on. Let's take you to the san. Take it easy. Ooh. Agh.

Ow, ow, ow. Careful.

Agh. Ow. You should stay off the pitch for a while.

Come on.

I mean, forget lacrosse.

You won't be playing any sport for at least a few weeks now.

What? But that's not possible. I'm games...c-captain.

Well, you should have thought about that before you sneaked out.

NURSE JANE SIGHS

Foolish! Utterly foolish!

DARRELL SIGHS, INHALES SHARPLY

Sit still! Ow!

All right. Off you go.

Right.

SHE COUGHS

The first formers are being treated now, which means it's our turn soon.

They have to attend class like that?

That's it. Come on.

Oh, what is in that lotion?

Don't forget to rinse it out at lunchtime.

I'd rather have nits than go through that.

Once the comb got stuck in my hair.

Mother had to cut it out.

Oh, dear.

Agh. What are we going to do?

Ugh. Three years of training, and I'm counting nits.

Honestly.

Darrell, are you all right?

I just can't be stuck in here for weeks. I just can't.

Let's get you out for some fresh air.

Fine. If you don't want to go for fresh air...

..I'll treat your hair now.

Uh, no...

Come on. You won't be in here forever.

I'm sure there'll be other trials. You don't understand.

I've always made the county team. You're right.

I don't understand lacrosse - or much about many sports, for that matter.

But I know I can help you get better.

So sit up. Nurse's orders.

Come on.

That's it. Take it easy.

Slowly, that's it. Come on. Careful, careful, careful.

Right, let's get you a cup of tea, stave off the cold.

There we are.

NURSE JANE HUMS

HUMMING CONTINUES, BELL RINGS

WHISPERING: All clear.

What are we doing here? Come on.

I'm trying to get us out of nit treatment today.

All right, but be careful.

Found it.

No. Put it back. We can't steal it.

No? It's borrowing.

Besides, I'll be doing us all a favour.

Unless you want to be treated.

Gah!

SHE GIGGLES

Wait.

Look.

It's Nurse Jane's list.

Nothing like fresh air to soothe the soul.

Oh, listen to that!

I can hear the shouts from the pitch.

I don't want to hear them. I want to play.

All in good time. A few weeks' rest and no weight on that ankle.

It's the only way.

LAUGHTER

Alicia! How did it go?

Did you make the team?

I did. But everyone was disappointed you weren't there.

Can I? Well done.

Um... Oh, I heard there's a new trial happening next year.

Oh, see? What did I tell you?

Until then, I'll need all your tips.

You're still games captain, after all.

Well, maybe I shouldn't be.

Maybe someone else should step up.

Well, I'd do it! Don't worry about it.

I'll take it off your plate.

Right, fine. But if you need

any help, you ask Sally.

I won't, but thanks. I'll talk to

Miss Grayling right away.

I'll pick up the badge later.

Didn't expect her to be so keen.

Well, as long as it stops you fretting.

BIRD CAWS, CHILDREN GIGGLE

Where is Nurse Jane?

Come on. The sooner we get this over with, the better.

Agh! Girls,

has, uh... Has anyone seen the nit comb? No.

Oh, dear. Agh! I can't find my list of duties either.

I left them in the sand, but...

Oh, don't worry, Nurse Jane. We'll help you with the list.

Matron Shipley is meticulous when it comes to her duties,

so we know everything like the back of our hands. Oh, thank you.

Thank you, um... Josephine,

but you can call me Jojo or Jo or... Oh.

Blech!

Very well.

So you already know about the monitoring breakfast, lunch,

dinner. Laundry collection is on Sunday, and second formers get

a cup of cocoa half an hour before lights out.

What, every night? Uh, yes. Don't we, girls?

Yes. Yeah.

Sometimes Matron even throws in a biscuit.

Oh, very well.

Right, and lights out. Now, that's 8.30, is it not?

Yes. No.

No, no, it's 9.30.

If you say so. Right, I'd better find another comb.

I'm afraid I'll have to hold off treating you girls until I do.

Sorry.

Extra time and hot cocoa before bed. Well done, Jo.

JO LAUGHS

Alicia's games captain?

Well, she put me on the spot. I couldn't say no. Mm.

She's good at that.

Well, there's not much I can do stuck in here, so it's better

that she takes over anyway.

Although I'm sure the girls would much rather it be you.

Just have to focus on my recovery. Agreed.

And I'll keep you company whenever I can so you don't get bored.

Starting now.

What would you like to do, Miss Rivers?

I have a jar of jellies Matron confiscated in there,

amongst other things.

We couldn't possibly... Oh, come on!

Oh, Darrell. I don't want to get into trouble. Please.

I'm stuck in the san. Please! It's not... Please! Just go quickly.

THEY GIGGLE

Just hurry up.

What's taking you so long? Coming!

Jackpot.

I found our confiscated tricks.

Matron will have kittens if she finds out I was in here.

Well, you've got to be quick, then.

Whoa!

Bonbons!

TOY SQUEAKS, THEY SCREAM

D-Darrell? Oh, she's coming. Quick, quick, quick.

Oh, I thought you were Nurse Jane. Hah!

How did the dreaded nit treatment go? It didn't.

Jo hid Nurse Jane's comb.

We can't hold her off for much longer, though.

Are these tricks? Confiscated tricks.

Matron's a treasure trove in her cupboard.

I say it's about time we unleash it.

Maybe there's a trick in here that could help you girls get

out of the treatment. No. Darrell, I... Come on!

And we'll have some fun, too.

Help yourself.

TOY SQUEAKS

Agh!

There must be something of use to delay Nurse Jane. I hope so.

Apparently she bought a new comb.

We're having our treatment tomorrow. Huh!

I've got it. What? Just wait and see.

TOY SQUEAKS, JO SCREAMS

Felicity!

GIRL BRUSHES TEETH

Agh! Agh! It's a mouse!

SCREAMING AND LAUGHTER

HIGH-PITCHED SCREAMING

What is all this noise?

SCREAMING STOPS

Why are you not in bed? Huh?

Allez, tout suite!

Uh, w-we were studying... Studying, huh?

And where are your books?

Right, hot cocoa for everyone.

But I'm afraid we've run out of biscuits.

Cocoa?! Est tu fou?

Excuse me?

It's bedtime!

I-I thought the girls had cocoa before bed. What?!

Where did you get that idea?

I, um... I must have got it wrong. Pardon, Mam'zelle.

I'm still learning the ropes. Ropes? I'm new. Um...

But tomorrow, the girls will be following orders.

I promise.

SHE SPEAKS FRENCH

Lights out at 9.30, was it?

Sorry.

Thought you'd be clever by taking advantage of me losing my list?

Well, I can't blame you for trying.

Now drink up and go to bed.

Oh, this is delicious.

ROOSTER SINGS, COW MOOS

N'oubliez pas, les filles -

Nurse Jane will be here soon to check your hair.

All the other forms have been treated except for you.

WHISPERED: Felicity.

WHISPERED: What's the plan?

BELL RINGS

Girls, remember to stay in your seats.

Make sure there's nothing hiding in there.

What's that smell?

COUGHING

Is Nurse Jane here with the nit lotion already?

It's worse than the lotion.

Mam'zelle, it's disgusting.

COUGHING, GAGGING

Oh!

Out of the class. All of you, now.

Allez, allez, allez. Sortie.

COUGHING, GAGGING

You could have told us

it was a stink bomb.

What's all this? Oh, Nurse Jane. You can't go in there.

There's a horrible smell, so we can't be treated. Nonsense.

Oh, my word.

Oh. Uh...

COUGHING, GAGGING CONTINUE Well, maybe we can use another room.

Nurse Jane, please.

Ugh. Gah!

What is this?

Is that a stink bomb?

All of this to get out of nit treatment, no doubt.

NURSE JANE CHUCKLES

You think the girls misbehaving is amusing?

No. No, of course not. Then why are you acting like

a silly schoolgirl? Just you wait.

Mam'zelle Rougier, please. I'm so sorry. Please, listen.

Oh, is everything all right?

Uh, the girls played a trick and Mam'zelle's angry with me.

Why is she angry with you? It wasn't your fault.

If this gets back to Matron, she'll be so cross.

Well, don't worry, whatever it is. we'll help to explain it.

You don't understand. I need to do a good job here.

You know, if the agency find out, well, I won't get any more work.

I found this in the girls' dorm.

All of these items had been confiscated, no?

Did you give this to the girls?

Is this why you found the trick so funny? No.

And why was this in their dorm? Hmm?

WHISPERED: My list.

I've been looking for it all over.

How could Matron hire someone so...hopeless?

I am calling your agency. No.

No, no, no. You can't do that.

What are you doing?!

Please, stop her!

Mam'zelle, I gave the tricks to the girls.

Nurse Jane had no idea.

Well, it doesn't change the fact that she doesn't know

what she's doing, misplacing lists and school property.

I gave them the list and the comb, too.

But you were outside with me, though... It was all me.

I am disappointed in you, Darrell.

Such a big girl being so childish. I'm sorry.

Detention isn't much use in here,

so you will help me with my marking, hmm?

Lock these away and be more vigilant.

If this got back to the agency, they would not be impressed.

Thank you, Darrell.

We're lucky that Darrell took the blame for the list and the comb.

Otherwise, we'd be for it. Yes.

No more messing with Nurse Jane. Agreed? Agreed.

Ahem. It's almost lights out.

I know it's late, but I...have a surprise for you.

Is it a treat?

NURSE JANE CHUCKLES

Right. Which one of you wants to go first?

Darrell, have you finished? Ah, yes. Then back in bed.

Sally, stop that.

What is it?

It might be nothing, but did you notice how Nurse Jane reacted

when Mam'zelle said she was going to call the agency?

She's just worried about losing her job.

What she did wasn't that bad. There's something going on.

Perhaps she has something to hide. Ha-ha! Don't be silly.

I mean, what does she have to hide?

She's a regular nurse from London, isn't she?
