Ah... got it!

Morning, Hats.

Hats. Don't remind me.

Morning, Dad.

Care for a taste of my world-renowned "baffles"?

I'm not sure that combining words

is always entirely necessary.

It's a lot snappier than saying

"waffles with berries", isn't it?

Morning.

Any particular reason for the particularly smiley face this morning?

Not that I'm complaining.

I'm just thinking about... chemistry.

It's not an outright lie.

Oh, yes!

Richard?

What are you doing? I'm on a call.

Yes, sorry about that interruption, I'm listening.

Don't stalk Nick Park, don't stalk Nick Park.

Oh look... I'm stalking him.

Sorry, can you repeat that?

I don't think I can have heard you properly.

- I'm going to need it. - Give me one second.

No, no, no, no, no. I need it.

Do you know that they named themselves

after that character in Grease?

Mm-hmm. Well, Kenickie was the best character.

Right, that's what I thought I heard you say.

Yes, I do appreciate that most people wouldn't assume

the "skull and bones" emoji is a death threat.

Yes, no, I'd say death threats

are normally a lot more direct!

Do you think this one should make the birthday playlist or...?

Yeah, but it's not in my top ten favourite tracks of theirs.

You got "Scared of Spiders" on there, right?

Please. What do you take me for,

some kind of amateur? Of course I have.

So have we finally achieved "dress nirvana", Ms Lee?

That's Poppy Hepple-Cartwright.

You were very specific

about wanting her to be the one to wear it.

I believe your precise words were, "It's Poppy or no one."

Am I to take it that is no longer the case?

We'll need a new model.

Poppy will still walk the show.

But not in this dress.

The show's on Saturday. Models fly out on Thurs...

You can take care of the details,

once you have found me the right model to close my show.

And the right model would be...?

Someone with the essence of Yuji Lee.

The essence of your... self?

Don't worry, it's fine, I'll get that.

Well, I'll file a complaint

with the Equal Opportunities Commission.

What did I do wrong?!

Not you!

They'll see if they can find any more evidence

of wrongful termination in the company.

- Hello? - Sign here please.

Oh. Thank you.

Richard, my man! How are you?

Just checking in again, for the third time.

How're you getting on with the pitch?

We really need to get it done and submitted ASAP.

Right. Uh... raisins or grapes?

They're basically the same thing,

just one's a bit more shrivelled.

Harriet? A quick word in the hall?

I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.

Harriet?

Everything alright, Hats?

Just wishing we lived in an earthquake zone,

so that the ground might open up and swallow me whole.

Harriet! A quick word in the hall?

Yeah. Fine. Uh...

Raisins.

Raisins.

- It's Lapsang. - Thank you, Betty.

Wilbur! Finally.

And what, may I ask, is so urgent

that I had to abandon my eggs benedict?

They just demoted Poppy.

- Why? - Oh, I don't know.

Some last minute "thunderbolt of design" inspiration.

You know, it took Yuji an entire season to land on Poppy.

And she's already gone out to every other agent in London.

So we need to find her a replacement before one of them does.

And even more bafflingly,

they need to have the "essence of Yuji Lee".

Whatever that is.

My knots are back.

The essence of Yuji?

Oh, God.

Raisins. Turkey and cheese roll-up.

Granola yogurt and two of your favourite chocolate bars.

None of them touching, obviously.

- Thanks, Dad. - Harriet?

I already got you that vinyl

that you wanted to give your dad. And I wrapped it.

What? Um, I... I just thought this was more "him".

That's... slightly terrifying?

He'll love it.

Um, Annabel. If... if someone got a video of them

put online, and...

and they didn't want it there,

how... how would they go about getting rid of that?

Has someone posted something of you?

No, no, no, not me. Just... someone else.

Report it.

Get all their friends to report it.

It's hard to get stuff off now.

- Okay, thanks. - Wait!

Where do you expect me to hide this?

Um...

Yeah, okay. I'll just...

Sure, okay, see you later!

I didn't mean... take it to school.

My love?

Your "baffles" await!

Woah, seriously?

Jeez, Filip.

Excessive.

Morning, Park.

You know I have a phone?

Well, even when you're away from home,

there's no avoiding leg day!

Thought I'd be nice and just,

you know, gently coax you onto the bike.

Consider me coaxed.

Alright, I'm up, what else is on?

Right, today, we've got biology,

inheritance and genetic crosses,

and he'll be expecting you to have...

Are you eating while talking to me?

I'm going up a hill. I need energy.

Well, I'd argue, but my day has just gone nuclear.

So, enjoy.

Morning, Nicky.

Nice pad.

Infinity really do go all out for their star boy, don't they?

Hey. Do we have a post booked?

No, Sweetie, I'm here for cuddle time.

Oh yes, my daily dose of bobafun.

Wait! Post first, boba later.

Okay.

Hey, gorgeous followers!

So, my boy and I are about to chug down our morning matcha boba tea.

Boba Match!

- Do you have yours? - I can't function

without my morning matcha.

And I'm lucky to have my Boba Match. Have you met yours?

Ugh, these get worse every day!

Six months won't kill you.

And I'm sure it'd still make us money without #Noppy though.

Well, how would that work?

"I've just met my bobafriend?"

Come on, Nick, you know the world loves a love story.

Even a fake one.

Alright.

I'll see you later!

Bye!

Oh wow, you guys, look!

Oh! This is genius!

Apparently, sometimes, it only takes one report

for a video to be taken down. But I think, that to be safe,

we should definitely do a few more than just one.

Wait, just, Harriet, take me through

why you brought this to school again?

It just... happened.

You know, I bet we could make a fake account,

and then, if we did...

Oh, watch it!

Guitar Geek!

It's my Dad's. For his birthday.

Well, that's not weird at all.

Oh no, I touched it!

I think I might have caught something.

Yup, yup. Liv, I can feel it.

Suddenly, my dad's my best friend!

No, it's happening.

I've turned into a... a geek!

Get a life, Ollie, seriously.

Guys! These reel edits, ugh!

Keep them coming, they're so good!

They're making my morning.

Oh, uh, look! We got the star here.

Miss Spanners, do you want to give us a little tune

on your weird guitar?!

For the fans?

Yup. We are definitely,

definitely making fake accounts now.

Yeah.

Nope. Nope.

Absolutely not. Horror, horror!

Um, Erin Lacey?

I've seen her look about 1000 times in the last hour. No.

Wilbur.

What have you got for me?

Getting closer, firefly of my heart.

Great. Get your picks on my desk by the end of the day,

and then Yuji can pick their top five

at the casting day. What is Erin doing on the no's?

We need to stand out.

Standing out doesn't mean sacrificing class, Wilbur.

Might as well put Betty down.

Why are you smiling?

Uh, Jude Paignton knows my name?

Any luck with Harriet Manners?

Uh, I found her school.

I left a message for her parents,

but there's nothing yet.

Right.

Only the weak surrender.

Get me a car, my little spider plant.

Finished.

Oh, I thought you were sewing up the hem?

I did that already, and then I found this.

- How cool? - Uh, do you think King Arthur

would wear a blue faux fur?

Well, actually blue dye originally comes

from the indigo plant, which was really expensive

and mostly reserved for royalty.

And imagine how much it would make him stand out in the battlefield!

- Right. Thanks, Hats. - Anytime!

Miss Lord?

Do you uh, have any books on textural techniques?

Yes, yeah, quite a few. How come?

Um, as much as I love this, like, costume-making stuff,

I saw this really cool design at Fashion Week.

It was, like, this clash of concepts and materials.

Super embellished. And I was wondering

if maybe I could try it out, maybe, please?

I think that's a brilliant idea, Nat!

I'm so glad that the Showcase

got your creative juices flowing.

I'll get you those books at lunch, okay?

Thank you!

Oh, Nat, I think the blue fur is a magnificent addition!

Although against the neutral tones of a battlefield,

it would essentially be like wearing a sign saying "Please Kill Me".

Or at least "Please Kidnap Me and Hold Me For Ransom".

But still, striking!

Okay...

This is definitely the best one.

It's like watching Bambi on ice.

Look at this.

Spanners.

I'm... I'm really sorry.

Another video?

It's like a hydra.

No matter how many heads I chop off, it just keeps growing more.

Hey girls, you should be proud.

Not all reels go viral, so you should be proud of yourselves...

If you have cracked that,

you are paying for it. Pick it up!

Sorry!

Sorry, sorry, sorry...

- It's fine. It's fine. - Rude. Rude, Nat. Rude.

Why do you look like Harry Potter?

Because, sugarpuff, Granny always says true style

is dressing appropriately for every occasion.

We've got three days to put together

the most important casting of the year.

On it! Give me a mere few hours.

Got to nail this one, Wilbur.

Can't afford to lose out to another agency.

Stop thinking about it. Okay?

Uh...

Heavy period?

Used that last week.

- Twisted ankle? - Uh, week before.

Migraine. Migraine?

Perfect! I'll use that one then.

Careful!

Why don't you just put it somewhere?

What, and wait for the Olives to use it as a hockey stick?

Go on, pop off to your cupboard monitoring,

you have important work to do.

We're here for Harriet Manners.

Please.

And who may I ask are you?

Well, this is Betty.

Betty.

And I'm...

Harriet's Fairy Godmother.

I can't give you that information.

Yeah, the look, the look. Darling, this is Fash-un!

Yes, darling, and this is educa-shun!

I like that.

Sally, was it?

Hmm. Look...

Harriet could really fly in this industry.

Didn't you ever have a dream as a teenager?

Something bigger, more exciting than these...

interestingly decorated walls?

Here are my IDs.

Okay.

National Insurance Number.

Oh, Net-a-Porter black card, ah-ha, baby!

Fashion Week pass...

Fashion Week?

Oh. Uh...

Well, hi, hello there!

Julian Fiennes, head teacher.

Mr Fiennes, I know that's right.

Taken! Hmm!

Now I hear there was a small mishap on Saturday?

More than happy to talk about covering damages.

Sally, give this man whatever he needs.

- Oh... - Ah...

Whatever he needs.

Um... Harriet Manners, please.

Oh. So beautiful.

And... taken. Of course he is.

Harriet Manners,

make your way to my office.

Harriet Manners to my office please.

Very... very, very taken.

And he wrestles sharks.

♪ I think too much, but I don't think at all... ♪

Harriet Manners,

Harriet Manners to my office please.

Oh. Um... Hey.

Did you not get the call?

Fiennes wants to see you.

Oh my gosh, he's seen the video, hasn't he?

He knows about the hat and he's going to expel me!

Um...

Can you come with me?

Fine, just let me get changed first.

- Okay. - Cool. Okay.

Ah... Come in!

My A-Star student.

And Natalie.

It's Wilbur Evans.

Natalie, if you could wait outside...

No. Anything you have to say to me

you can say in front of my best friend.

Dramatic.

The floor is all yours, Mr Evans.

Brioche.

Betty and I are here to offer you

the biggest opportunity of your life.

We'd love you to come to a casting day

at Infinity Models London.

I'm sure there have been much bigger opportunities.

Actually, I'm sure that the man who passed up on The Beatles

would probably agree with me on that.

You have quite an interesting style, Harretina.

Harretina... Got pictures be coming out my head!

Sorry, interesting

in this context is... a good thing?

Yes. Um... fire!

Trust me.

Fire?

"Alien tree frog", some might say.

Well, uh, I said no. So...

You said no to what? Sorry, what's going on?!

Why don't you come down, do some trial shots?

If you hate it, walk away.

But what about Nat? I mean, she's perfect.

- Look at her. - So come together.

Both of you.

Does that work?

Does that work?! Yes!

Yeah.

Oh, Wilbur, always bringing the joy, ain't ya, duck?

Love it.

Speaking of joy...

Can you imagine?

Dazzle of fashion.

Thrill of the runway.

The sea of eyes, all looking at you.

I don't think I need any more eyes on me.

I'd rather be shot out of a cannon.

Ah, uh, I can't.

I'm sorry. But... I'm sorry.

I can't.

Oh, wait.

Thank you.

If you change your mind.

Laertes is introduced in Hamlet as a loyal citizen.

Although he serves the crown,

well, he's protective towards his sister Ophelia.

And family is clearly a priority for him.

In thematic terms, though...

what do we know?

Yes!

Care to share your thoughts, Miss Manners?

Um... What was the question, sorry?

The significance of Laertes.

Um...

Removed?

Guys...

Well, might you have the answer, Lexi?

Uh...

Ooh, um...

Laertes. Yeah.

He... is Ophelia's brother?

So...

Yes, but what is his significance?

Oh significance. His significance is that she...

has someone to hang with?

I think that Laertes is a literary mirror for Hamlet.

Interesting. Go on.

Well, the play is ostensibly about Hamlet

avenging the murder of his father, but...

actually, it's about Hamlet procrastinating.

When Hamlet murders his father, Laertes takes revenge

and really pushes the play to its conclusion.

So I think he's there to show that our stories

are driven by who we are

and what we do,

and not by the events that happen to us.

Hmm!

Very good, Harriet.

Possibly a degree-level answer. Well done.

Right, we have a couple of minutes.

But I'm going to get more textbooks,

because it appears at least three of you

are reading Romeo and Juliet.

Ostensibly?!

Why did I use the word "ostensibly"?

Did you actually use the word "ostensibly"?!

It means something that appears to be true...

I know what it means!

Are you trying to make me look stupid?

No.

What is wrong with you?!

Lexi, come on, leave her out.

I honestly don't know.

Lexi, sit down.

You don't have any idea how much of a loser you are, do you?

Don't "think" there's a right answer here?

I probably should stay quiet,

like what happened with ostensibly.

Lex, that's so unnecessary...

Come on.

You're an actual embarrassment.

Right!

Who here hates Harriet Manners?

Put your hands up.

That's it. Go on Arthur, hands up.

Hands up, or I will make you! Hands up!

Okay, I take it back.

Ostensibly was a drop in the ocean.

Oh look.

Everybody.

Oh, is she gonna cry?

Why does this keep happening?

What are you even wearing?

Harriet!

Breathe. Just breathe.

Leave me alone, Toby!

Leave... me...

It's like no matter how hard I try,

it's never enough.

I'm never enough.

Nothing is going to change unless I do.

So if our stories are driven by who we are,

and what we do,

that means there's finally something I can do about it.

Nat, we're doing the casting.
