## Prologue

MC sits in a New York City park, attempting to overcome thoughts of having to move back home to Florida with daydreams of an exciting life. She’s trying to sell her art when she is approached by Nikolai and Elizabeth. Nikolai accuses MC of being a romantic while probing her about her replicas.

On the street, MC notices Vivienne in a jewelry store and follows her invitation in. Vivienne asks MC for her opinion between two necklaces, and MC points out that one of them is fake. Vivienne is impressed and flirts, before MC rushes off to a friend’s gallery showing.

MC bumps, literally, into Zoe. Despite MC raving about the art in the gallery, Zoe remains unimpressed. When they approach a bank of screens, Zoe talks MC into putting her art onto the screen display. MC makes Zoe smile.

Suddenly Jett appears, pouring black sand on the floor around a vase on display. When Jett hands MC a lit match, she realizes it’s gunpowder. Jett flirtatiously dares her to light the gunpowder, which she does.

An explosion knocks out the glass ceiling, and a helicopter appears. Jett grabs the vase and escapes. The scorch marks on the ground are in the shape of a poppy.

Remy appears, seemingly helping MC, who was knocked on the ground in the explosion. Feigning a fear of security asking too many questions, Remy leads MC outside. Remy offers to escort MC home, and when he uses her phone to get a ride, Leon appears.

While getting in the car, Remy pulls a necklace out of MC’s purse - one that Vivienne had been trying on earlier - and he accuses MC of stealing it. She denies it, but he says that people already think she’s part of the Gilded Poppy. Before she can retort, the car drives off.

Police lights flash behind them as Leon drives, and MC remarks to herself how calm he is while maneuvering at high speed through the city. He loses the police in the chase, and drives MC to an airport hangar.

The helicopter from the heist appears, and the whole crew comes out, much to the surprise of MC. She finally figures out that they’re all in the Gilded Poppy. Nikolai reveals that the heist was never about the vase, but was about stealing MC instead. The crew all say that they’d like her to come to Paris to help with their next heist. MC hesitates, and they show her that the police are already looking for her. So, not wanting to get caught and not wanting to have to go back home, MC agrees to go with them, excited for a new adventure.

## Season 1

### Episode 1

MC and the Gilded Poppy are in Paris. MC is giddy with excitement, admiring her surroundings. Jett jokes and flirts with her, their chemistry evident. MC blushes, feeling a pull towards him, and decides to flirt back, asking if he's really after her heart or something else. Jett seems delighted with her reaction, while the rest of the Poppy tease him and discuss their different opinions on the best way to seduce a woman. Jett and MC continue to flirt with each other until Nikolai brings everyone back to the matter at hand: the heist that they are planning. MC is excited at the idea of seeing the beautiful art stolen by the Poppy and Jett reveals that, aside from being an explosive expert, he is also an artist. While MC's main medium is watercolour, Jett prefers large formats and street art, working with oil and spray paint.

The Poppy brings MC to their headquarters in Paris: the penthouse of a hotel in an old, luxurious building, filled with priceless pieces of art. Jett places a hand on MC's back to guide her to a specific series of paintings and she blushes at his touch. Hung on the wall are the paintings commissioned by the Hellfire Club: MC wrote her thesis on the topic and she is surprised to find out that Jett has actually read it, and that was the reason why he suggested to Nikolai that they should hire her. These paintings are supposedly hiding a secret message that should reveal the location of the Hellfire Club's lost diamonds. Finding these gems is the Poppy's current heist. Jett stands close to MC and she can smell his cologne as well an almond scent she can't quite recognise.

Jett invites MC into his room to show her his notes on the Hellfire Club. MC's attention is attracted by the bed, suspended from the ceiling by four thick ropes. Jett tells her that if she plays her cards right she might be able to find out all its uses. MC also notices an amber bottle on a shelf emanating the same almond scent she sensed on Jett, and goes to touch it: Jett stops her, saying that it's dangerous, because it contains nitrobenzene. Having a highly explosive liquid in such close proximity gives him a sense of imminent danger that helps his creative juices flow.

MC notices a large mural on the wall. Jett says he's still working on it but can't seem to find the missing key to complete it. He then finds his notes and hand them to MC. They both have reached the same conclusion: there is a painting that no one has yet been able to locate that could help decipher the mysterious code.

Jett suddenly starts to undress, giving MC a glimpse of his beautiful chest tattoos. She is confused, wondering what is about to happen and if he's trying to seduce her.

### Episode 2

Jett flings his shirt on a chair. Then he asks MC to leave him to his work: he has to forge her fake documents. He explains that he can't think with his shirt on, as he works better when he can feel the air against his skin, just as MC needs to have her hair up when she paints. He promises to bring her sightseeing once he's done.

MC goes back to the common room and the jet lag starts catching up with her. She feels very tired and asks when she can sleep. Remy shows her into a room and she is so tired that she falls asleep almost immediately.

The morning after, she joins the Poppy at the breakfast table. Jett asks her teasingly if Remy has allowed her to sleep at all and MC realises that the room where she spent the night was not a spare room but Remy's own. Remy jokes that Jett is just jealous that he got her into his bed before him, but Jett playfully steals his pastry in retaliation. He then asks MC if she's ready to go out in the city: he has a surprise for her.

Jett and MC are on the Champs-Élysées when he takes her hand and sweeps her into a luxurious boutique. He pulls some clothes off the racks and invites MC to try them on. He offers to help her and MC accepts. They enter the dressing room together, tension crackling between them. Her new outfit consists of a black top and trousers and a black leather jacket. MC ponders on the fact that this is very different from her usual look, but she likes it. The price tag has her shocked for a moment, but Jett reassures her that the Poppy will pay for her outfit.

Jett puts his hands on MC's waist, sending shivers through her body. He asks her if she needs help warming up. He then runs a thumb across her lower lip and tells her that he'd love to find out what her mouth feels like.

***Heart scene (15) - Kiss Jett***
*MC turns around towards Jett. She wraps her hands around the back of his neck, caressing the shaved side of his head, and kisses him. He initially stands still, letting her take the initiative, but then his hands tighten against her waist and he kisses her back fiercely and wildly. MC can't believe she's doing this but it feels right, like she's discovering a side of herself she did not know existed. Jett wraps his arm around MC even more tightly, pressing their bodies together so that MC can feel how much he's enjoying the kiss. He asks MC if she's also enjoying herself but MC presses a hand against his mouth as she feels he's talking too loudly. He kisses her palm and she can't help but imagining his mouth all over her body. They keep kissing, then his hands go up her shirt, his thumbs tracing her lower ribs. She digs her nails into his shoulders and he responds by tightening his embrace even more. MC moans into his mouth, blushing furiously. Jett starts kissing her ear and going lower until he's at her shirt's collar, while MC cards her hands through his hair. Suddenly a loud knock interrupts them: someone else needs to use the dressing room.*
Jett and MC pay for the new outfit. Once out in the street, MC realises her jacket's pockets are full of jewellery, and Jett says he's a professional thief and now so is she, and he welcomes her to the Gilded Poppy. He then asks her if he can bring her to one his favourite place in Paris: the Catacombs.

In the Catacombs, MC and Jett walk around hand in hand through the tunnels covered in skulls and bones. MC notices an engraving detailing the notable people who are resting there: amongst them is Pierre de Claremont, a huge patron of the arts in the 18th Century. She knows there's a portrait of him in the Academie of Beaux Arts and wishes to go see it if time allows. Jett remarks how de Claremont was also a founding member of the Hellfire Club: they both realise they might have found the first clue in their heist.

Jett pushes MC against a wall of bones and the two kiss frenziedly. He puts his arms around her legs and lifts her up so she can wrap herself around his waist. They keep kissing and then Jett rakes his teeth against her throat, making her groan.

All of a sudden, a laugh emerges from the shadows, making them spring apart from each other. A man with a pink mohawk and a kilt emerges from the darkness, telling them that if they keep going they will be waking up the dead. Jett asks the man what the hell he's doing there. The stranger says that apparently he's getting some valuable information about the lost diamonds: thanks to them, now he knows where to look and can't allow them to get there first.

MC is rattled and wonders if they are going to have to fight.

### Episode 3

Suddenly the mysterious stranger and Jett clasp hands and greet each other warmly: it becomes clear that they are old friends. The stranger introduces himself as Jock Maclaren. The three of them exit the Catacombs to go sit at a bar.

While sharing a drink, Jett explains he used to be the explosive expert in Jock's crew until the Gilded Poppy poached him from them. Despite that, theres no bad blood between them - although the same can't be said for Jock's brother Jamie, who still hates Jett's guts. Jett explains to MC how Jock was the one who told him about the Hellfire Club's lost diamonds, and how finding them had always been their pet project. Jock asks MC how she got roped into the Poppy and she just stays vague saying that she's an artist and art historian. Jett sings her praises instead, calling her their secret weapon to find the diamonds. She's really pleased that he would think so. The three finish their drinks and Jock walks away in a hurry.

Jett grabs MC's hand and tells her they have to run to the Academie of Beaux Arts because he believes Jock is heading there to take the painting that might contain a clue to find the diamonds. MC struggles to keep up with Jett's pace but he's very patient and waits for her. Once they get to the museum, MC suggests they enter just using her student ID, since academics have access, but Jett would prefer to make things a bit more exciting.

***Heart scene (26) - Do it Jett's way.***
*Jett suggests they get in from the roof, by climbing a building nearby. They find a fire escape in an alley to the side of the building and MC asks him to lead the way so she can admire his backside as he climbs up. Once they reach the top of the building, Jett leaps from the roof to a lower balcony on the nearby museum building. MC is initially scared by the idea of jumping but Jett reassures her that the leap is not as bad as it looks. He opens his arms wide, promising to catch her. MC jumps and lands in Jett's arms. He hugs her tight. MC can't help moving her hand across his chest and abs, thinking of his tattoos. Jett jokingly reminds her they are in the middle of a job, but dips his head and kisses her briefly. They pull apart, and Jett darts into the building, with MC hot on his heels.*
MC and Jett easily locate the painting they are looking for. Jett knows the security system so he asks MC to follow his steps exactly to avoid being spotted by the cameras. They dart through the halls, but then a uniformed museum staff walks towards them. Jett presses MC into an alcove, his body against MC. She shivers at the contact while Jett grins at her. He tells her that the first rule of the thief business is to try and avoid museum security at all costs.

They finally reach the portrait of Pierre de Claremont. MC notices that the painting has several symbols that she had already noticed in other Hellfire Club works, just never all at once. Jett throws an arm around her, elated. They both step back to admire the painting as work of art. They agree that the best thing about art is how it reaches inside you and then discuss what this particular painting makes them feel, with Jett complimenting MC - and her feeling really happy about it. He then takes out a knife to remove the painting from its bulky frame. At first MC is horrified and does not want him to do so, but he reassures her and does so without damaging the canvas. MC is relieved and surprised and Jett tells her he's very good at his job, amongst other things.

Footsteps interrupt their flirty back and forth and the two walk away briskly, the rolled-up painting under Jett's arm. The footsteps keep pursuing them, so the two enter a room, closing the door behind them. The room is windowless so MC worries they might be trapped. But Jett has some explosive devices with him and he arranges them around the door: they are not going to cause any real damage but only stun whoever is going to try entering the room, causing enough of a distraction for them to escape. On the wall opposite the door, however, he places two different devices, that he defines as "a bit spicier". He presses the detonator just as the museum's security guards enter the room. With the guards stunned and the wall destroyed, Jett picks MC up and runs.

They stop in a nearby fire escape, where Jett puts down MC. He asks her if she's ok, but she reassures him that she has never felt more alive. They both run down the fire escape and don't stop until they are at a safe distance from the museum. Jett asks MC how it felt to be part of her very first heist and as a response she grabs him and kisses him passionately.

### Episode 4

MC's back is pressed against a wall as she kisses Jett passionately. She hooks her legs around his hips and he groans. A sudden ring from Jett's phone interrupts the moment. It's Nikolai videocalling, asking if they have blown up the Academie of Beaux Arts. Jett replies that it was not the whole museum but just one wall, and MC adds that they got an important clue for their heist out of it. Nikolai seems somewhat placated by this but still reprimands Jett for his lack of discretion. He also asks them why they look like naughty kids caught kissing behind the bleachers, but MC - despite blushing furiously - tries to deny it, saying that her hair are disheveled only because of the explosion and consequent escape. Jett just laughs and after a little more banter between the three, he hangs up the phone and starts kissing MC's neck. She is tempted to keep going but nonetheless suggests they go back to the penthouse to avoid annoying Nikolai further, and Jett agrees with her.
MC and Jett show the painting to the rest of the Poppy. Nikolai agrees that it's a promising clue. Jett praises MC and she is happy about it. They set up the painting alongside the others to have a better look. MC starts working on unraveling the mystery while Jett makes sure to keep her coffee cup full. But eventually MC nods off on the couch. When she wakes up, Jett is refilling her cup and giving her a small neck massage. MC is frustrated by her lack of progress, so Jett asks her if she wants to take a break and go with him to do some graffiti art.

***Heart scene (26) - Make art with Jett.***
*MC accepts Jett invite and he teases her by saying that he's shocked the good girl has decided to rebel. MC says that she joined the Poppy to do crime, so that means she relinquished her good girl persona the moment she stepped on their plane. But Jett says that it takes more than a little grand larceny to tarnish her squeaky clean image. MC is flustered but steps closer to him and asks him if that's what he thinks and touches his abs. Suddenly Nikolai, who was sitting out of sight, drinking tea in the living room, groans and ask them to stop with their "mating dance" and just get on with their day. Slightly startled and embarassed, the two leave the penthouse.*
*MC and Jett head to a quieter part of the neighbourhood. MC asks Jett if graffiti is not usually more of a nocturnal activity, but he replies that you never get the colours quite right if there's no sun. They climb up to a rooftop and admire the view over Paris. Jett starts painting the wall with wide strokes of colour, using his whole body while he works. MC asks him why he chose street art as a medium, and he says that he is attracted by the subversive and transgressive element of it. He touches MC's chin and asks her what she sees when she looks at him. MC replies that she just sees him, and he smiles and kisses her softly and briefly. He says it's a lovely sentiment but not one that society shares. He explains that he was the son of Trinidadian immigrants growing up in a small town in Britain, so he never looked like the people around him. Everything about him marked him as "other" so he decided not to try to fit in. MC says she understands how that feels like. Jett says that rules are meant to keep people in line, so now he enjoys flaunting them. He then asks MC to join in the painting and the two spend the rest of the afternoon spray painting the wall.*
Back at the penthouse, MC has a sudden illumination and realises that there's a pattern she hadn't noticed before and that leads her to which painting they need next. Hearing her shouts of joy, Jett runs into the common room and MC shows him her notes. Delighted, he scoops her up and whirls her around the room. MC buries her face in his neck, giddy and excited.
Jett and MC show the rest of the Poppy the latest development. Zoe tracks down the painting they need to an auction house's storage facility, a few hours outside of Paris. Nikolai asks Leon to drive Jett and MC to pick it up. Jett does not like the idea of having a chaperone, but Nikolai insists.
When they get to the car, Jett tries to pull MC in the backseat but Leon is not keen on them making out while he's driving. On the way there, MC notices how close Jett and Leon seem to be, more like brothers. MC starts to relax and feeling how the Poppy is more like a family than a group of colleagues. As night fall, the trio reaches the warehouse. Jett wants to blow up the rear wall but Leon pushes for a more subtle approach. Out of the car, Jett keeps flirting with MC even when Leon calls him out on it. MC is excited and can't wait to get her hands on the painting.

## Special: Jett: through his eyes

### Episode 1

The action takes place after the end of Jett's official route.

Jett and MC are in a mansion in Paris. Jett makes some charges explode but the foundations are shakier than he expects. A wall caves in but Jett protects MC with his own body. He is shaken as memories from the incident at the mines comes back to him, but he's happy he managed to protect Flora.

They escape through a grand ballroom and Jett tells MC that it would be perfect for that celebration they spoke about *(**spoiler Jett's route:** Jett had told MC he does not want to legally marry but he would be happy to have a party to celebrate their love with all their friends.)* A security guard catches up with them but they throw a glitter bomb and escape.

They join the rest of the Gilded Poppy on the roof of the mansion. Nikolai complains about the glitter. The group bickers and banter reminiscing about old jobs. Jett remembers how his relationship with Nikolai had not always been easy but after Vivienne closed them both in a room to discuss, they settled their differences.

Remy reveals that Nikolai scouted out MC specifically because he thought she would be good for Jett. Both MC and Jett are surprised to hear this, but Nikolai deflects saying he is just pleased that things turned out well. Jett spends time with Remy and MC and feels happy. He says that there's nothing more he can ask for than Remy's smile and the knowledge that no matter what happens for a night, MC is the person he falls asleep with every night.

Jett and MC are back at home and are cuddling in bed after making love. Jett reminisces about the day he asked MC to sleep in his bedroom and how she never left since then, and how they have both grown and about his love for her. He thinks about his dating life before her - hookups, half-relationships, one night stands - but with her he's willing to risk pain that is not the fun kind.

The two discuss a heist they pulled in London, where MC was a party planner and Jett a fireworks expert. Jett tells MC of some sex parties he attended when he was still living in London and working with the J Team. Then he asks her again if she'd like them to have a party of their own and MC agrees enthusiastically.

### Episode 2

Jett and MC are revisiting the ballroom where they plan to have their unofficial wedding. They discuss details about what they would like for the day. MC suggests a photo boot for guests, but Jett has to remind her that no one of their friends can be photographed. He feels really uneasy when he sees a flash of surprise and then realisation pass across her face. He wonders if Jamie was right and MC would have been happier with a non-criminal life in London and if he's being selfish. But MC reassures him immediately by suggesting they ask guests to heist their wedding presents.

Remy and Jett are in Jett's bedroom. Remy is happy and honoured to be part of his almost-wedding gift heist. Jett remembers how he came up with the idea of having "heist outfits" and everyone in the Poppy loved it. He thinks about how the only reason Nikolai is not still wearing turtlenecks is because Remy dresses him. Jett thinks about his relationship with Remy, how there's always been a spark between them, and although they already got each other out of their system, how he knows there will always be a flicker of something between them and they will never be just friends. Remy tells Jett how seeing him with MC makes him very happy and warms his heart. The two hug tightly.

MC and Jett are back in the boutique where they went on the first day in Paris to buy her heist outfit. MC is trying on various wedding dresses until she finds one covered in poppies and deems it perfect. The two start to kiss. They both reminisce about the first time they were in this boutique and how Jett tried to seduce MC in the dressing room, but how they were interrupted. The shop is now closed so there's no risk of interruptions.

***Heart scene (28) - Do what you wanted to do back then...***
*Jett thinks about how much more he wants MC compared to that day, now that he knows that they are forever. He takes off MC's wedding dress, unbuttoning her slowly. Then he thinks about the first time they made love. The two kiss and touch but MC stops him by holding his hands and teasing him by unbuttoning his clothes. They make love passionately, while Jett thinks about how much she means to him and how much their bond is much more than just chemistry.*
Jett and MC wake up in bed together, and he thinks about how happy he is to see her smile and to receive her sweet morning kiss. But it's not a morning as any other: it's the day of their party.

### Episode 3

It's the day of MC and Jett's party. Various guest are out and about, including Anissa, Jamie, Clemence, Rahim the tattoo artist - giving Jett a new fireworks tattoo - and Ariana.

MC and Jett exchange the signature cocktails they created for each other, then move to the dance floor. After dancing, they grab the microphone and thank their friends for being there celebrating their love. Jett jokes that the only reason why he got MC to love him is because of his looks, but then makes a heartfelt speech calling the Poppy their family. He also thanks MC for giving him an appreciation for life he never had before.

The two move onto the stage, where their friends present them the gifts they have heisted for them. Annisa give them a 17th-century dagger, Jamie hands them a phone: Geoff is calling, because he has composed a poem for them, and the J Team has also got them a treehouse retreat in Brazil, where Geoff currently is.

Jett gives MC his gift - Leonardo Da Vinci's sketchbook - and she is incredibly happy. In exchange, she gifts him the Sovereign Sceptre from the British Crown Jewels. She reveals that Nikolai helped her with the heist. He is amazed and enthusiastic.

MC and Jett are the only ones left in the ballroom once the party is over. They clean up a little, with the intention to shape the leftover confetti into a poppy. They both reminisce about the first time they met, when Jett had created a poppy with gunpowder in the New York art gallery.

Jett's attention is attracted by the aerial silks that are still hanging in the room. He starts making knots with them. MC asks him if there's something he would like to do with them.

***Heart scene (27) - Let MC fulfill your fantasy***
*MC undresses Jett and then undresses herself. Jett asks for a kiss but MC tells him he has to earn it, then she uses the silks to tie him. The two make love very passionately, using the silks and with MC teasing Jett. He thinks about how good they are together. After they are spent, MC brings Jett a glass of water and hugs him. He appreciates the aftercare. They thank each other for that day and for everything.*
Jett and MC wake up in bed the following day, kissing each other and thinking about how amazing the party was. Jett tells MC that the next party will be even better and suggests that they should steal the rest of the British Crown Jewels. MC is excited at the idea and they both are ready to get onto the next adventure.
