Uh, okay.

Let's not forget why we're here, Cream Puff.

To beat Jackie?

Oh, Button.

I'm really glad you've got your mojo back. I'm thrilled to bits. But, you

know, this is still pizzazz, remember?

And it's meant to be fun.

You're completely right.

How about I promise to make it fun if you promise to keep these animals in

line?

Hashtag team summers. Oh Hashtag team summers

Quirk

of the venue waffle that I will address ASAP

Nikki, there you are. I need your help with... Norma!

I know.

Can you believe she's back?

Can we just put a pin in Norma until after we've opened?

I'm sure he can handle a little light flickering.

It's not just the lights, Gay.

It's the vibes. They're off.

If there's one thing I'm an expert in, it's vibes.

Oh.

Company!

Shall we begin?

Gloria and I have been working hard on a new book and lyrics, but we've got a

long way to go and only three weeks to get there. So, without further ado,

welcome to... Sherlock.

London, 1881.

Sherlock Holmes awakes in Baker Street covered in blood.

Inspector Lestrade is moments away from breaking down the door. He's come to

arrest Sherlock.

for murder.

He's been framed. Together, he and Watson will have to clear his name by

confronting and then exposing his evil nemesis Moriarty.

But how do you solve a case when the suspect is your own reflection?

Oh, that is brilliant, Cookie!

So, this production will be gritty, sleek, modern, merging elements of

cinema and theatre, a.k.a. cine theatre.

Camera operators will follow the leads rigged with steadicams projecting

footage onto 28 plasma screens.

28 what now?

Hanging over the stage from invisible wires.

At least they're invisible.

I know what this show could be.

I've seen it.

If you want to come with me on this journey, I'm going to need all of you to

work harder than you ever have before. But I promise it will be worth it

because this is our chance to show...

The world what we're capable of So

Company, what do you say?

Are you with me?

Sounds expensive correct But I have squeezed the budget into the $40,000

that I was promised by Pizzazz, plus I will be foregoing my fee.

You're welcome.

Uh-huh. I think Makairo has a question.

Yeah, um, thanks, Charlie. What I was wondering was, like, what...

Yes,

OK, very funny.

I just... I hope you've got that out of your system, because from now on... Aye,

we... We...

will accept nothing less than complete professionalism.

Sorry. And no more pranks.

You will be on time. Which means early.

And no showmances.

Oh, Pop-Tart, you know, a little showmance never hurt anyone.

Um, I think every HR department on the planet would disagree with you there,

Mum.

Um, Charlie, about the costumes, I've kind of already made... Yes, so costumes

will be minimal, modern and black.

Yes, Ezra, you heard right. If I see a pipe or a deerstalker hat anywhere near

the stage, I walk.

And that's tape.

Hashtag Team Summerhouse.

The first and last show that Norma did at Pizazz was the doomed 73 rock opera

of the Scottish play.

Yeah, there's like a whole Reddit thread about Norma. Oh, and what's the tea?

English breakfast?

Basically, the production was doomed from the start.

Infighting, jealous spats, like...

a hella toxic atmosphere.

Apparently, Norma was playing witch number three, and in their last dress

rehearsal, someone put too much dry ice in the cauldron, and she inhaled it and

died. She's been doubling her toiling and troubling ever since.

But why is she back now?

We are warping the weft somewhere.

Don't panic.

I got rid of her in 92, and I can do it again. All I need is a slab of walnut

cake and some Louise slice.

And to figure out where she's hiding.

Sorry, I'm late.

Two open homes, a bungled bungalow, and Mrs. Gerson's reversion on the church

conversion.

I was up late last night ruminating. What if when the lights go out, we

meet God?

Oh, Adrian, don't be so morbid.

There's life in the old dog yet.

As a narrator in the show.

It would be played by I have been told that my tone is omniscient

Learning lines remind

me later

Tally Jackie

finally out of the house how brave Oh No

Sequins in the daytime, that's brave.

Oh, this has been so fun, but we have a future smash to rehearse.

Adrian, dressing room.

About that.

Pitchy?

Gloria, I'd like to welcome you to your new writing space.

You cannot do that! I had to.

You see, your show is not an official pizzazz production.

Therefore, under 22B subsection 4, it no longer qualifies for a dressing room.

And since our show is going to be so big, well, huge, we need all the space

we can get. No need to rub it in, Jellybean.

Anyone working with Charlie Summers is endorsing an egotistical...

I'm your farm, Jackie.

Such a shame, Adrian.

After your star turn as Achilles, I had you earmarked for Moriarty. Who?

The evil genius?

I thought, who else could handle the big showstopper?

Jackie!

Wait!

I can't help it if my talents are being recognised.

He's back. Who's back?

Moriarty. Oh no.

Oh yes, don't distress Watson.

Look at me go.

What? Look.

The game's afoot, I have been framed.

He wants me out of action, yeah, he wants me defamed.

But Sherlock, how... The game's afoot, head to the moor.

See what you can find there.

But Holmes, are you sure?

The game's afoot. Okay.

Um, great. That was so fun.

But now, we're going to do something different.

So, I need everyone to think dark, mysterious, straight. Act straight?

What is this, may it turn formal?

And obviously the music's not working, so just riff something.

Riff? Yeah.

Improvise. Follow your instincts.

Okay.

He's back.

Who's back?

Moriae. Oh, no.

Uh, Jazia. Gloria.

Um, no, I want it swung, but still dark.

Oh, yes.

More noir. Like, he's getting arrested, right?

So... Look at me go.

What? Okay, enough.

Um...

This isn't working.

Charlie? I think that you might want to slow it down and hold our hand a bit.

And I don't breath.

I need time.

Yes.

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.

Gloria, take all the time you need. You can deliver tomorrow.

And you two, you're right.

I'm sorry.

Let's take a big step back. For the rest of the day, we will focus on a character

workshop. And then tomorrow, we'll run the number in full. Happy?

Hey.

Trust me.

You got this.

Is it Darren, you said?

At your service.

How's it looking up there?

I've got two pieces of news.

How you receive them will depend on whether your outlook leans towards the

positive or negative bias.

Okey-dokey.

Your shingles are sharp.

Rain's getting in every which way.

But I should be able to fix it.

Oh. At your cost.

As per guidelines for privately operated council-run buildings.

Mm-hmm.

And how much is that going to cost?

Around 40 grand.

Oh, but is that including tax?

Yeah, nah.

Sorry. I... I... I came to apologize.

For what?

I think you're mad at me. Why would I be mad at you? For lying about the blood

curse.

You lied about the blood curse? I was scared.

So there's nothing stopping us

from... No.

Oh.

Anything weird happening in here?

Absolutely not.

When

you

see your husband on TV admitting infidelity and all

you feel is Outrage, guilt, and shame When your

husband's telling tawdry tales And that husband is the Prince of Wales Then you

have to fight right back And change the game

How to retaliate? Might I

politely posit That the answer might be waiting there?

A little beady A revenge dress On little old me They may say I'm acting

hoary But change the outfit Change the story And

slip on a revenge dress Oh this old thing A revenge dress Hey watch me

sing This sleek and stylish sexy samba

This showy Off the shoulder number

A revenge dress

For little old me

Looking killer.

Take that, Camilla.

Step aside for the new People's Princess!

28 plasma screens.

Don't let him get under your skin, darling.

Tauranga doesn't want cine theater.

They want sparkle.

Yes.

But how am I supposed to give it to them if I don't even have access to the

costume room?

Like, who's gonna make my revenge dress?

I can ask Beryl from the historical village.

She does all the girl clothes.

Aprons, bonnets, those slings for babies.

Adrian, this show needs to be perfect.

Okay, Charlie cannot win.

God, I just wish I knew what he was up to.

And that's how I gave Jeremy Jordan his big break.

Wait, stop. That's so cool.

Oh.

I suppose it was an offer I couldn't refuse. Welcome aboard.

You can...

Join the ensemble.

We'll be working on technique.

Wonderful. All right, everybody up. Let's get this scene on its feet.

So, every good performance can be distilled down into one word.

Truth.

To find this truth, we're going to be using Stanislavski's method of emotional

memory. Oh, dear.

In this scene, Watson is trying to caution Sherlock.

But Sherlock is trying to convince Watson.

What I want to know is, when have you felt this in your own lives?

Well, I'm always cautioning the cowboy surgeons at work about patient recovery

time, but they never listen.

Great. Okay, so feel that care mixed with frustration.

Makairi. Well, I can relate to Sherlock's impulsiveness because I

actually got this Black Ferns 2025 World Cup tattoo.

Yeah, my missus was really angry about it, especially when we lost, but you

know what?

I'd do it all again, because I love Black Ferns, just like Sherlock loves

solving crimes.

Excellent. Use that passion.

Can we do something about that?

You could use it.

Right. From the top.

When you're ready.

He's back.

Who's back?

Moriarty. Oh, no.

Oh, yes. That's it.

Okay, Gloria, now let's run the number.

Gloria?

Okay, we'll just run it from Watson's last line.

What?

The game's afoot, I have been framed.

He wants me out of action, yeah, he wants me defamed.

But Sherlock, how... The game's afoot, here to the moor.

See what you can find there. Before you say no, I just need you to look at this.

Enough!

Tell me, Ezra, what exactly is minimal or modern about this?

This is not a Jackie James show.

How dare you?

My job is to give you direction and yours is that way until you can give me

what I asked for the first time.

And your job is to keep it real. Those characters that we found stay in them no

matter what.

And Connor, go and find Nikki wherever the hell she is.

Gloria, when I treat someone like a professional, I expect them to behave

like one.

Home is where you practice.

Here is where we rehearse.

Let's just pick it up tomorrow and be prepared.

Directing really does get his tail in a twist, doesn't it?

Smells like cats all over again.

Someone help.

I'm having a panic attack. I can't breathe. It's okay.

I've dealt with this before. Come on.

Let's calm you down.

Okay. Legs up on the wall.

Now, we're going to do some box breathing.

All right? In.

Two.

Three. Four.

Hold.

Two. Three.

Four. Out.

Two. Three.

Four. In.

Two.

Three. Four.

Hold.

The other guy from the road the other day.

Out. Yeah.

Three. Four.

The musical guy from New York.

Gay son.

I'm Jonathan.

Your mum's in my auntie's book club.

Charlie.

Better?

Yeah.

Um... I should go.

See you.

See you soon!

Thank you.

Hello?

Who's there?

Just had to borrow a few bits and pieces.

Please don't tell.

Oh, Ezra.

My darling, what's wrong?

I worked so hard.

Oh, sweetheart, you always do.

Anyone who doesn't appreciate your genius is a fool.

If only there was a way you could have creative control.

You know, all the hot-glued rhinestones you could ever dream of.

He starts tomorrow.

Oh,

turn the light out, babe.

Most certainly.

Thank you, ladies.

Norma will be most pleased with these offerings.

Oh,

Nicky, there you are. We need you in rehearsal and we need to fix the... I

told you, Gay.

I'm on it. Yeah, but... Oh!

Oh!

Nicky!

Norma?

Please.

Except this walnut cake is a gesture of respect and goodwill.

He's back.

Who's back?

Moriarty. Oh, no.

Oh, yes. Don't stress.

Watson, look at me. Go.

What? Look, the game is afoot.

I have been framed.

He wants me out of action. Yeah, he wants me defamed. But Sherlock, how do

you know? The game is afoot.

Head to the moor.

See what you can find there.

But Holmes, are you sure?

He clearly wants me alive.

This could have been a lot worse. But John, trust me, you know that I got a

plan to beat him. We'll defeat him in the meantime. You go.

Watch and go.

The game is a foot.

It's make or break.

Be precise. Don't assume there's no room for mistakes.

It's him and me. It's destiny.

I'm in ecstasy.

Yeah, the game is afoot.

I need to talk about the budget, honey bun.
