Original subtitles

Did you really do that to get my attention?

This is why we don't invite you to things.

I fear the truth will come out before long.

You looking for something? Some papers...

I'm sure they were here.

Just remember that she's a person, Addie, not a project. Be careful.

Bonnie thinks Keedie doesn't like her.

We didn't even get to say goodbye. I sent you letters.

I never got them.

GIGGLING

I think I found you a good story, Addie. Sounds epic.

DOORBELL RINGS

Hi, Mrs Darrow. Bonnie! Did your mum and dad drive you?

No, I got the bus here. Um, they both say hi, though!

OK, come on in, then. She's here!

Bon-Bon! Keeds!

You're sleeping in my room tonight. It's like old times!

Oh! Hopefully without the loud snoring this time.

I did not and do not snore.

Well... Did you bring the manuscript?

Oh, yes! Right here.

I only skimmed it and it's all out of order,

but it's got everything.

It's got heroes, sacrifice, fighting for what's right, you know?

The exact opposite of the Juniper we know and love.

Well, I promised Mr Macintosh I would have a good news story

to base the Founder's Day event around.

I hope this is it.

LAUGHING: Remember Mr Laird?

And those massive cows!

And his face! His face was all like...

LAUGHING

So, Codebreakers.

Tell me more.

Well, we think it's an unpublished novel

by an author called Verity Loveday. It's all about Juniper.

Frank will be so excited.

Definitely. All her novels are based on real historical events,

and so we're hoping this one is a true story, just never published.

That's amazing. Where did Bonnie find this?

Well, she found it at the book shop.

And then she sort of borrowed it without asking.

Right. But I think it's good.

You know, it's showing her I think that Juniper can be... Can be good.

LAUGHTER

It's so nice hearing them laugh together, isn't it?

Uh, no long-lost manuscripts at the dinner table, please.

Right, here we go. Salsa on the side for Keedie...

Sour cream for Nina...

Thank you. And no peppers for Addie. Thank you.

How should I do yours, Bonnie?

What?

Extra spicy or mild? With more cheese, no cheese?

What do you fancy?

Uh, yeah, all of the above.

Right.

Extra spicy, mild fajita with extra cheese, hold the cheese.

Oh, yeah, no, no, sorry.

Uh, I just meant, ah...

So much choice. Um, I'll...

I'll just have it how it's supposed to be.

Thank you. No worries.

Sorry, have I taken your seat? Oh, no, don't worry.

We're off to the pub tonight. Holiday planning.

There you go. We've narrowed it down to three gorgeous cottages

down by the coast.

So no airports or crowds!

And we can go swimming.

Ah, if we reach our target.

LAUGHTER

Not a fan of guacamole, Bonnie?

Oh, no, no, it's fine, I'll eat it.

No, don't be silly, I'll make you another one.

Just the way you like it.

Salad anyone? Oh, yes, please.

Audrey, you're here! Right, be good.

And no wild house parties.

What about dull house parties?

Like your dad's 40th? The chess marathon.

Well, Audrey and I are just planning the council event.

That is the correct level of wild. Yes. Bye.

Have fun! Bye!

Would you like a friend over, Nina?

I don't really mind.

Addie's got Audrey, Keedie's got me.

If you wanted to invite, say, Frank over, I wouldn't tell.

Bonnie!

Looks like this story takes place during World War II.

The 1940s had a really cool visual style and awesome music.

Perfect for a dance.

We could even ration the buffet to cut costs.

The council would love that.

But I still don't understand.

What didn't Verity Loveday publish this novel? What stopped her?

There's only one way to find out.

CLEARS THROAT

I was just a little girl

when Dorothy Dangerfield opened her book shop in Juniper village.

The war was a busy time.

Everyone seemed to have a role, either fighting

or keeping the home fires burning.

Everyone in Juniper had their place, apart from me.

But that all changed when I walked through the doors of Do Good Books.

It had this incredible feeling,

like it was built just for me.

It was unsafe to travel the world back then,

but the book shop brought hundreds of worlds to me,

some beyond any I could imagine.

But the shop had a secret.

Shadows at the window, noises from the cellar,

and a door that was only opened when no-one else was looking.

Dorothy Dangerfield was up to something.

DOORBELL RINGS

I come bearing board games!

So it's really fun, you travel around the board

collecting different jobs. And then you cross reference those jobs

with personality cards, and so by the end you should...

Fall asleep on your board? ..work out your future.

Bonnie, do you see travelling in your future?

Yep, right out of here!

I'm going to go upstairs and check on Addie.

Nina can have my cards. They're all about uni,

which is perfect for her.

Spoilers.

Uni, totally my area.

Should someone go with her? Why? What's she going to do?

I mean, she was trolling Addie, she broke into the book shop,

and it sounds like she's been stealing stuff.

Look, Juniper was just triggering for Bonnie,

but she's turned a corner.

I've got my best friend back and I'm happy.

It wasn't the same here without her.

KNOCKING

Oh, come in.

Wow, do you have enough sharks?

I'm not sure, actually.

I've seen some window stickers that I thought could look really nice.

You can never have enough sharks.

Your parents let you decorate it like this? It's your choice?

Why wouldn't they?

Fascinating, aren't they?

Did you know that we're not really sure how

great whites are brought up?

It's thought that they dive deep down into the ocean to give birth.

They raise their pups in these high-pressure environments

where no-one can reach them.

Am I overwhelming you with the trivia?

Hmm? No, no, no, no. Sorry, just a bit zoned out.

ADHD. Ah, yes.

My parents don't really like me getting obsessed with stuff.

But that's such a normal part of being autistic.

So where are we up to in the story?

Waiting on the narrator.

Open her up. Right.

I wasn't the type of child who could let things go.

The next night I hid in the shop.

I had to know what was going on.

My mind was racing...

BONNIE: Question. Oh? Who's narrating the story?

The little girl. Does she have a name? Um, not yet.

OK. But Verity Loveday wasn't from Juniper, was she?

She wasn't from anywhere, really.

Her Wikipedia entry says that she just travelled the world.

So if she wasn't from Juniper,

then Verity Loveday could have made this all up?

But you... You said you thought it was true.

Yeah, but I change my mind.

It happens a lot. It's more fun this way.

Well, if this isn't true, then we can't take it to the council.

We need more hands on deck.

Maybe Jenna could help with research?

Great idea! Let's invite her over.

Oh, um, I don't know.

What would Mum and Dad say?

I'll text her and then it's on me.

What's her number?

DOORBELL RINGS

Hi! Hey!

Um, am I early?

Um, sorry, early for what?

Jenna! You're here!

Oh, Jenna, you look lovely.

Bit dressed up for a planning session, though? Huh?

DOORBELL RINGS

Hey! Party time! Hey? Hi!

Come in...? Hey!

Hello! Hey. Hey!

Heather. Hey, hey!

What is going on? DOORBELL RINGS

Hey, Nina! Hey! Hey! Thanks for having us.

Oh, hi. Hi. Hey.

Yeah, just through here? Hey, Addie.

Hi. Hello. Hi. Hi.

You OK? People think we're having a party.

Want me to get rid of them?

No, we can't cancel. We'd never live it down.

A party sounds fun to me.

I wonder who gave them the wrong idea.

Never mind.

So long as it's over before Mum and Dad get home,

it shouldn't be an issue.

What about the planning session?

Oh, don't be a party pooper. You can do it in the kitchen.

Multi-task. Go on.

Celebrate us all being back together, thanks to you.

OK. So long as it's not too loud and no-one goes in my room.

Yes! Yes!

I'd say it's true.

I mean, the book shop feels sort of familiar, doesn't it?

Like the author was there.

You'll have to lend me this when you're done.

It feels like we've nearly cracked it.

Anyone seen the cups?

Uh, thanks?

Jenna.

What was that?

I can't talk to him!

I almost drowned to impress him, which he totally knows.

He thinks I'm just this huge loser.

He's just a guy, Jenna.

And guys are, like...

..people.

Just talk about something you both have in common.

What if there's nothing? Erm...

I could go and talk to him, find out what he's into?

You know, if there's anything us guys are good at,

it's unemotional, surface-level small-talk. It's awful!

You all right, mate?

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Did you see the, uh... The match last night?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't believe they paid 30 million for that joker.

Yeah. Uh, what a...

What a circus. Yep. Yeah.

But you into any films? Or theatre?

Hey, man, can you test me on these shark facts?

Sharks?

Oh.

Sharks. Yeah, yeah, the sharks.

Um, so one to five, I'm pretty sweet...

There's no mention of Verity Loveday ever visiting Juniper.

She never did any book signings or interviews.

It's like she didn't exist.

Are you two still working? This is your party, too.

Take a break. Selfie?

Hey! Photo bomb!

I won't post it in case Emily sees.

Oh, no, you should totally post it.

Show her what it feels like to be on the outside. Right?

I'm not going to do that.

Emily's my friend, too.

What? After what she did to Addie?

She feels bad about it.

I hate being stuck in the middle.

Why can't you guys all just say sorry and be friends?

Neurodivergent people always feel like they have to apologise,

even when you've done nothing wrong.

Sorry for being yourself. Sorry for not conforming.

Emily bullied Addie.

She's the one that needs to say sorry.

Right, Addie. Do we post it or not?

Not. Thank you.

Emily's been OK this summer.

But she's still never actually said sorry.

If she apologises and means it, then maybe we can all be friends.

Maybe.

So? What's Jude into?

Um, it's less what he's into and more...who.

Who's the who?

Ah! Hey, Addie!

No way! Oh, that is so cute!

What about Jenna?

Oh, no, don't worry. I'll sort it.

Is that a whale shark, is it?

Yes. I have the best whale shark fact ever.

Want to hear it? I would love to hear it.

OK, so basically every whale shark's pattern is unique.

And did you know that some sharks go into, like, a trance

if you flip them upside down? Which I'd never do, obviously.

No, course not. How rude! How long have you been into sharks?

Like, ages. Oh.

Sure, sure, that's why I started working at the pool.

But there are no sharks in swimming pools?

Gutted! Right, I really need to get back to this manuscript.

Jenna, have you met Finn?

Finn is in the drama club.

Jenna was in Macbeth last term.

Yeah, I saw. You were one of the witches.

It was a really good show.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

I've just got back from Majorca, filming a commercial.

Really? Yeah.

That's cool.

I think they're way better suited.

Yeah, they make the perfect pair.

Just like us. Care to dance?

With me?

No, with Beyonce. Come on!

VOLUME OF MUSIC INCREASES

Keeds!

Thank you.

Oh, Bonnie, I've got some for you, too.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I'm good.

Hey, guys! Who wants to try these on?

Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You... You don't just walk into Nina's room.

Maybe we can send everyone home now, if you're feeling overloaded?

Oh, yeah, that'll make me popular.

What was that?

With the ear defenders downstairs?

Sometimes it's like you don't want people to see the real you.

I already have a therapist, OK?

Let's see if Nina has any hilarious outtakes.

Don't, it's private.

And what if you can't do it, what if it's harder than you think?

What if you fail?

Looks like Miss Perfect has doubts just like the rest of us.

We should upload this.

No, don't.

Can we just go?

Hey, Addie. Do you fancy a makeover?

Oh, I don't really like make-up.

It feels stiff like paint.

We should get back.

Oh, but I don't feel ready to go down just yet.

Come on, it will be fun. DOORBELL RINGS

Hey! Watch the lemonade!

Hey!

MUSIC STOPS

Guess our invite was lost in the post?

Mum. Dad. Hi.

Out. Sorry. Sorry.

Mr Darrow...

Is that pepperoni?

Yeah.

Great.

Bye-bye. We should have sent everybody home straight away,

like Audrey said. Out.

Do you think they'll be really mad? Does it look really bad?

No, personally I love it.

And if you don't, I'll fix it.

Right. We're really sorry.

But are you, like, super mad?

No, not mad.

You're all very grounded, don't get me wrong.

You were bound to try this sooner or later.

Love the hair by the way, Addie.

Thank you.

Come on, you can get this all tidied up, then get to bed.

We'll tell you about our holiday plans in the morning.

What?!

How can you be OK with this?

Are you for real? Bonnie, what's wrong?

No, no, no, we broke all the rules.

Why aren't you mad?! Bonnie, breathe.

I'm fine! I'm... I'm fine, I just...

Let's go to my room.

It's OK.

What was all that about? It looked like a meltdown?

Should we call Martha and Tom?

If it was a meltdown we need to tread carefully.

You know, just give her a minute.

Over here. Come on. I'm sorry.

Um... I'm really sorry.

Hey, didn't you hear what I said to Jenna? Sorry is banned.

Your parents are really nice.

I haven't actually told mine I'm here.

What?

They think I'm sleeping over at another friend's house.

Susie. She's neurotypical.

Why would you lie?

They don't actually know that I've been coming to Juniper at all.

They think I've been going to these therapy sessions.

Keeds, if they knew that I was coming back to Juniper,

especially to see you...

..they'd never let me out the house again.

Why? What's their problem?

Well, they don't...

They don't accept me as I am.

They want to make me...better.

Better?

They worry when I'm hyper-fixated on things.

They worry when I can't focus on anything at all.

I eat what I'm told.

It's not like it is here.

My parents were rubbish at first.

But they adapted.

Maybe yours will, too.

Listen...

..I invited all those people over for a party.

I wanted your parents to get angry.

I don't know, I thought it would make me feel...

Less alone?

Yeah.

SOFT KNOCKING

Bonnie, Mum's asked if I should call your parents for you?

She's fine. Tell Mum Bonnie's overstimulated.

It's better for her to sleep here now and head off tomorrow

when she's feeling better.

Thanks.

Don't tell anyone what I just said.

I won't.

I've got your back, Bonnie.

Always will.

Missed you.

I missed you, too.

And I swear I won't tell anyone.

Not even Addie. OK.

Keedie's looking after her.

There's nothing more that you can do right now.

You're right.

I just wanted to, um, read the manuscript,

but instead we ended up having quite a large house party.

Shall we get back to it? Let's.

We need to find out what was in that cellar.

Right.

Ah. There.

I was full of nerves but I calmed myself.

And got Earnest to keep a look out.

Unfortunately he wasn't much of a guard tortoise.

AUDREY: Hang on. Earnest?

It can't be him. He'd be ancient.

Well, tortoises can live for hundreds of years,

they're incredible. Wait, this could mean that the story is true!

Keep going, keep going! OK, um...

What I found in that cellar was not just one secret but many.

All the secrets of the world.

A secret code breaking operation was running right

there in the book shop cellar.

The whole shop was a front for the most classified

and important war work, intercepting and decoding the enemies' plans.

And my friend Dorothy was running the whole thing.

Miriam, what are you doing down here?

Miriam?

Wait, our Miriam?!

Of course! Verity Loveday must be a pseudonym.

Do Good Books, Earnest, it can't be a coincidence.

Miriam is Verity Loveday.

She wrote this story.

But she said that she knew nothing about the book shop.

Why would she lie?
