-DEADPAN:

-If you like our sound, then don't hang around,

0:00:06 0:00:08
hit the right note and give me your vote.

0:00:08 0:00:11
MARACAS RATTLE

0:00:11 0:00:12
-DEADPAN:

-Go Vox Pop!

0:00:12 0:00:15
OK, but remember what we said about enthusiasm.

0:00:15 0:00:18
You've got a great campaign song, you just need to get people excited.

0:00:18 0:00:22
Show me your happy, excited faces.

0:00:22 0:00:23
OK, we'll work on that.

0:00:26 0:00:28
I appreciate you're trying to help, Amani,

0:00:28 0:00:30
but Echo's USP is her honesty.

0:00:30 0:00:31
She's not going to win this election with fake smiles and cheesy slogans.

0:00:31 0:00:35
I'm not going to win, full stop. Have you seen the latest polls?

0:00:35 0:00:38
I don't care.

0:00:38 0:00:39
After yesterday's showdown with Shak, I am moving on

0:00:39 0:00:41
-and I'm going to put all my energy into your campaign.

-And so will I!

0:00:41 0:00:45
Um, you're dating the guy I'm running against.

0:00:45 0:00:48
I can separate the two.

0:00:48 0:00:49
Look, I know it's hard to believe, but behind all the bravado,

0:00:49 0:00:52
Blake's kind of sweet.

0:00:52 0:00:54
He really opened up to me, so I'm giving him a second chance.

0:00:54 0:00:58
I wish Shak would give me a second chance.

0:00:58 0:01:00
-I totally messed up yesterday!

-She's been like this all day.

0:01:00 0:01:03
Look, after everything you've been through,

0:01:03 0:01:05
you have good reason to be suspicious.

0:01:05 0:01:07
The important thing is you've given us a massive lead.

0:01:07 0:01:10
More important than insulting Shak and losing my prom date?

0:01:10 0:01:13
No, no, I meant the EQUALLY as important thing.

0:01:13 0:01:16
-Someone in that hall yesterday is the shredder.

-Eraser.

-Vanisher.

0:01:16 0:01:19
-Billie!

-Oh! Hey, Bubs, what's up?

0:01:19 0:01:21
The greenhouse kids are on litter picking duty.

0:01:21 0:01:23
-We have to get there before they go back inside.

-Whoa!

0:01:23 0:01:25
What's the big rush, sloth butt? I've never seen you move this fast.

0:01:25 0:01:28
It's final boss time. We were right all along.

0:01:28 0:01:30
Blake's behind the attacks.

0:01:30 0:01:32
Wait, what? I thought we ruled him out.

0:01:32 0:01:34
Well, it's time to rule him back in again.

0:01:34 0:01:36
Scarlet couldn't meet last night because of a petting zoo crisis,

0:01:36 0:01:40
but she messaged me and said she has proof it was Blake.

0:01:40 0:01:42
-Scarlet's not exactly the most reliable witness.

-What?

0:01:42 0:01:45
What's wrong with you?

0:01:45 0:01:46
-You've been chasing clues for the last two weeks.

-Hello, Bubs.

0:01:46 0:01:49
I was just saying to Billie I wish

0:01:49 0:01:50
you'd drop this whole anti-prom and come to the real thing,

0:01:50 0:01:53
-it's going to be a great night.

-No, no, no,

0:01:53 0:01:55
-you're not interrupting me again.

-I am so sorry,

0:01:55 0:01:57
but could we have a minute?

0:01:57 0:01:59
-I need to talk to Billie alone.

-No, you don't.

0:01:59 0:02:02
Your date plans are about to be over.

0:02:02 0:02:04
It's not about our date, it's about Alessandro.

0:02:04 0:02:07
Blake, whatever you have to say to me, you can say in front of Bubs.

0:02:07 0:02:10
OK, it's been your investigation. It's your call.

0:02:10 0:02:14
I knew I could trust Blake.

0:02:17 0:02:20
You're right, he is up to something, Whitehorses.

0:02:20 0:02:22
He's handing Alessandro to us on a plate.

0:02:22 0:02:25
Meanwhile, Selene is fed up with Amani's moping,

0:02:25 0:02:28
so she's patching things up between her and Shak.

0:02:28 0:02:31
Selene somehow convinced me to speak to Shak face-to-face.

0:02:31 0:02:33
Oh, there he is. Alessandro- I mean, Shak.

0:02:33 0:02:36
If this is more Alessandro drama, I don't want to hear it.

0:02:36 0:02:39
I'm done being accused of stuff that has nothing to do with me.

0:02:39 0:02:42
-Amani has something she'd like to say to you.

-Um, uh...

0:02:42 0:02:46
And it is that she deeply regrets her actions yesterday

0:02:46 0:02:49
and still harbours romantic feelings for you,

0:02:49 0:02:51
despite the fact that neither of you really know each other, you seem

0:02:51 0:02:53
to have formed an attachment based entirely on appearance,

0:02:53 0:02:56
-which is a shallow methodology, but still...

-OK, Selene!

0:02:56 0:02:58
I've got this.

0:02:58 0:02:59
Shak, I'm sorry.

0:02:59 0:03:02
I shouldn't have accused you, it was wrong.

0:03:03 0:03:05
I overreacted because something like this happened to me once before,

0:03:05 0:03:08
and it's not your fault.

0:03:08 0:03:10
I know you won't ask me to prom, but now I'm asking you.

0:03:10 0:03:14
Will you go to prom with me?

0:03:14 0:03:16
Yes. Yes, I will.

0:03:16 0:03:18
We appear to have reached a conventionally romantic resolution.

0:03:20 0:03:23
My work here is done.

0:03:23 0:03:24
If you'll please excuse me, I have a guitar lesson.

0:03:24 0:03:26
I want to show you my final campaign video before it goes viral.

0:03:31 0:03:33
-You said this was about Alessandro.

-It is.

0:03:33 0:03:36
Two weeks ago, our school suffered a shocking attack

0:03:38 0:03:41
when Miss Malik's office was destroyed.

0:03:41 0:03:43
In the days that followed, students were harassed online,

0:03:43 0:03:47
musical instruments were defaced,

0:03:47 0:03:49
terror gripped Drew Fletcher Academy.

0:03:49 0:03:52
Until Miss Malik apprehended Scarlet, a repeat offender

0:03:52 0:03:56
who offered no defence when accused of the crimes.

0:03:56 0:03:59
Case closed.

0:03:59 0:04:01
But is it really likely that Scarlet would begin these attacks

0:04:01 0:04:04
just as she was about to be released from the Greenhouse?

0:04:04 0:04:07
Or was someone else behind them?

0:04:07 0:04:10
Someone who was in school

0:04:10 0:04:11
the morning Miss Malik's office was trashed,

0:04:11 0:04:14
and who was conveniently absent on the day of the guitar hunt,

0:04:14 0:04:18
and its eventual discovery.

0:04:18 0:04:20
Why did Bubs get himself sent to the Greenhouse?

0:04:20 0:04:23
Was it to keep Scarlet quiet?

0:04:23 0:04:25
All the Alessandro attacks stopped while he was inside.

0:04:25 0:04:28
Only to start again as soon as he was released.

0:04:28 0:04:32
We may never know why he did it, but under my leadership,

0:04:33 0:04:37
we can make sure he never hurts anyone else.

0:04:37 0:04:40
Vote Blake, and make Drew Fletcher Academy awesome again.

0:04:40 0:04:44
-Bubs...

-Come on, Billie.

0:04:45 0:04:47
You don't believe that, just because of slow-mo and some scary music.

0:04:47 0:04:51
-There's more - show us your phone.

-Why?

0:04:51 0:04:54
If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.

0:04:54 0:04:57
I don't have anything to hide.

0:04:57 0:05:00
He has the Alessandro Dixi account on his phone.

0:05:00 0:05:03
Bubs, how could you?!

0:05:03 0:05:05
It's Blake! He's trying to frame me, how can you be so stupid?

0:05:05 0:05:10
Stupid?!

0:05:10 0:05:12
-Maybe I was, not to ever suspect you.

-OMD!

0:05:12 0:05:15
You're going to believe him over me?!

0:05:15 0:05:18
This is all just because he's your prom date.

0:05:18 0:05:20
I don't know, Bubs. Is it?

0:05:20 0:05:22
You tell me.

0:05:22 0:05:23
Because ever since I agreed to go with Blake,

0:05:23 0:05:25
-you've been weird and jealous!

-You know what, forget it.

0:05:25 0:05:29
Forget our friendship. Forget you ever knew me.

0:05:29 0:05:32
BILLIE: You know what, it was all horrible.

0:05:37 0:05:40
If I keep thinking about it, I'm just going to cry.

0:05:40 0:05:44
And it's prom tonight. Jane's done my make-up, and I've got my dress.

0:05:44 0:05:48
So I AM going. And I AM going to have a good time.

0:05:48 0:05:52
-Now, that sounds like a plan.

-Amani, you look amazing!

0:05:52 0:05:56
And you look not ready at all, hurry up!

0:05:56 0:05:59
Jane's meant to be doing my hair.

0:05:59 0:06:00
Shak's picking us up in like 10 minutes. Give me this.

0:06:00 0:06:03
Oh, you and Shak, it's actually happening!

0:06:03 0:06:05
MESSAGE TONE

0:06:05 0:06:07
Oh, it's Blake.

0:06:07 0:06:09
This is so backwards.

0:06:14 0:06:16
I can't believe you're going to prom with Blake,

0:06:16 0:06:18
-and you're not even speaking to Bubs.

-Don't talk to me about Bubs.

0:06:18 0:06:21
What?! Bubs, Bubs, Bubs!

0:06:21 0:06:22
Come on, Billie, it's Bubs. He can't be our bad guy.

0:06:22 0:06:26
His phone was logged into the Alessandro account.

0:06:26 0:06:28
-How do you explain that?

-I can't, but I know Bubs, and so do you.

0:06:28 0:06:32
I know he called me stupid to my face. At least Blake respects me.

0:06:32 0:06:36
Bubs will do anything for you.

0:06:36 0:06:38
You know what, I can't let this happen.

0:06:39 0:06:42
-You two are best friends since forever.

-Where are you going?

0:06:42 0:06:45
-I'm going to speak to Bubs. Someone has to fix this.

-Wh...

0:06:45 0:06:48
SHE SIGHS

0:06:49 0:06:51
MUM: Baxter, your friend's here!

0:06:51 0:06:52
I knew you'd...

0:06:54 0:06:55
Oh. Hi, Amani. Looking good.

0:06:55 0:06:58
You here on your own, then?

0:06:58 0:07:00
Well, Shak's waiting for me outside.

0:07:00 0:07:02
-Billie's not here, if that's what you mean.

-Pfft, no.

0:07:02 0:07:05
As long as Billie's anywhere but here that's fine with me.

0:07:05 0:07:07
Are those crisp packets duct taped to your chair?

0:07:07 0:07:10
-I'm about to embark on a long haul mission.

-What about prom?

0:07:10 0:07:14
Hmm, a party where everyone hates me, or a chair full of junk food?

0:07:14 0:07:17
-I think I'll stick with my anti-prom.

-No-one hates you.

0:07:17 0:07:20
-Did you miss Blake's video?

-No, I saw it.

0:07:20 0:07:24
But guess what? I don't care. You're still my friend.

0:07:24 0:07:27
-So, you don't think I've gone dark side?

-Course not!

0:07:27 0:07:30
No, you stuck by me when I made up Alessandro in the first place,

0:07:30 0:07:33
and I'm sticking by you. I'm sure Billie feels the same way.

0:07:33 0:07:37
She's just upset right now.

0:07:37 0:07:40
Look, please. Come to prom with us.

0:07:40 0:07:42
I can't. I'm sorry, Amani.

0:07:45 0:07:48
MESSAGE TONE

0:07:58 0:07:59
From Alessandro. Seriously?

0:08:01 0:08:04
OMD. The prom prank!

0:08:08 0:08:11
Billie!

0:08:11 0:08:13
Everything's upside down.

0:08:13 0:08:15
Blake looks mean, but he's been really sweet.

0:08:15 0:08:20
And Bubs looks sweet,

0:08:20 0:08:22
but all the evidence suggests that he was the real snake all along.

0:08:22 0:08:25
Blake should be here soon.

0:08:27 0:08:29
Maybe at prom I can just forget about all of this for a few hours.

0:08:29 0:08:33
But then there's the election results,

0:08:33 0:08:36
and in this bizarro world, I'm hoping my date loses and Echo wins!

0:08:36 0:08:40
Where IS he?

0:08:40 0:08:42
-Delivery for Billie Quinn.

-That's me.

0:08:42 0:08:45
But how did you know I was here?

0:08:45 0:08:48
Who's it from? Must be Blake.

0:08:48 0:08:51
But why? Is it something for prom?

0:08:51 0:08:53
-Why didn't he just bring it himself?

-I just deliver packages.

0:08:53 0:08:57
-I don't really get involved beyond that.

-OK. Thanks.

0:08:57 0:09:01
Well, I guess there's only one way to find out what all this is about.

0:09:01 0:09:04
Time to play What's In The Box?

0:09:04 0:09:06
There's writing on the lid.

0:09:07 0:09:09
"Sorry, Billie, you lose."

0:09:09 0:09:12
Billie, the date with Blake, it's a trap..!

0:09:12 0:09:14
BOX EXPLODES

0:09:14 0:09:15
Oh, I guess you already know...

0:09:16 0:09:19
SHE GASPS

0:09:19 0:09:21
No, no, no, no!

0:09:21 0:09:23
Blake set me up! SHE SOBS

0:09:23 0:09:26
SHE SOBS

0:09:29 0:09:31
-Hey.

-SHE SOBS

0:09:34 0:09:36
None of that.

0:09:36 0:09:37
Bubs, I'm so sorry. I never should have believed Blake.

0:09:42 0:09:46
Shh, it's OK.

0:09:46 0:09:47
I was acting like an angry idiot. But none of that matters now,

0:09:47 0:09:50
only getting to school and stopping Blake.

0:09:50 0:09:52
Has your mind been melded?

0:09:52 0:09:55
I can't go to school like this.

0:09:55 0:09:57
-Let everyone see how Blake's humiliated me.

-Humiliated?

0:09:57 0:10:02
He's just helped us come up with a great new look.

0:10:02 0:10:06
SHE LAUGHS

0:10:06 0:10:07
Billy, would you?

0:10:09 0:10:10
Bubs, I would.

0:10:10 0:10:12
We're going to go to prom and we're going to tell everyone

0:10:12 0:10:15
the truth before the election result is announced.

0:10:15 0:10:17
Blake, you fake.

0:10:17 0:10:20
The ordinary heroes are going to save the world.

0:10:20 0:10:22
Come on, heroes! Let's go!

0:10:28 0:10:30

1. Be your own hero

0:10:33 0:10:35

1. Boom, pow! Pow-pow-pow-pow...

0:10:37 0:10:40

1. Be your own hero It's the only way to survive.

0:10:40 0:10:43

1. When the going is tough, you've got to do the stuff

0:10:43 0:10:45

1. And that's how to stay alive

0:10:45 0:10:47

1. Be your own hero It's the only way to go

0:10:47 0:10:50

1. When the going is rough, you've got to rise above

1. So be your own hero. #
