## Episode Transcript and Timings

Me and Mimi have split up to track down Ms Malik.

0:00:04 0:00:07
I never even suspected her until she started looking on people's work

0:00:07 0:00:11
and despairing, the same words the Nameless One always uses.

0:00:11 0:00:15
But why would she want to bring down the showcase?

0:00:15 0:00:17
Oh, hey, Eve!

0:00:17 0:00:19
Shh! Eve and Addie are finally talking.

0:00:19 0:00:21
It's taken me forever to get them in the same room.

0:00:21 0:00:24
Did you guys patch things up?

0:00:29 0:00:30
Nuh-uh. My question first.

0:00:30 0:00:33
Why did you tell me Addie were still angry at me at in Lazer Maze?

0:00:33 0:00:36
-What? I didn't say that.

-Er, yeah, you did.

0:00:36 0:00:39
"Addie's here. FYI, she's still TIY." Totally ignoring you.

0:00:41 0:00:47
Er, no! "TIY" stands for "totally into you"!

0:00:47 0:00:51
Oh, come on, Eve, that's basic TS.

0:00:51 0:00:53
-Taylor Swift?

-Text speak. Not everything's Taylor Swift.

0:00:53 0:00:57
OK, someone needs to stop you from using abbreviations and I would be

0:00:57 0:01:00
really angry with you, except Addie said yes to a date.

0:01:00 0:01:04
So, yes. We did patch things up.

0:01:04 0:01:06
Oh, Eve, I'm so happy for you.

0:01:07 0:01:09
Yeah, at least one romance is working out

0:01:09 0:01:11
and isn't just a brain mutiny.

0:01:11 0:01:14
'Miss, wait up, I need to ask you something!'

0:01:14 0:01:16
Ms Malik, when you said "look on our works and despair,"

0:01:18 0:01:21
-what exactly did you mean?

-Not now, Mimi.

0:01:21 0:01:23
Is everyone here?

0:01:23 0:01:24
Listen up, please. I have a grave proclamation to declare.

0:01:24 0:01:28
In all my...year as a teacher, I have never known anything like it.

0:01:28 0:01:34
First, our lead actress drops out.

0:01:34 0:01:36
-Everyone wanted...

-Then our replacement drops out.

0:01:36 0:01:39
I can't work with Ryan or Benny.

0:01:39 0:01:40
-Benedict.

-We lose our main singer.

0:01:40 0:01:43
I was hounded off backstage!

0:01:43 0:01:44
Silence! I've been thinking about it since this morning,

0:01:44 0:01:48
and I have decided since you cannot work together,

0:01:48 0:01:51
the final curtain cannot rise.

0:01:51 0:01:54
The showcase is cancelled.

0:01:54 0:01:55
-ALL: No!

-What?

0:01:55 0:01:57
But we've all worked so hard. You can't cancel the showcase.

0:01:57 0:01:59
I can. And I will.

0:01:59 0:02:02
Oh, and Mimi, that line you were asking about,

0:02:02 0:02:05
"Look on my works and despair" is from Ozymandias,

0:02:05 0:02:08
a very famous poem by Shelley,

0:02:08 0:02:11
which any of my poetic analysis students could have told you.

0:02:11 0:02:15
Why didn't I notice this before?

0:02:20 0:02:23
Who else is really into poetry?

0:02:23 0:02:25
Who organised the Take Back Dixi campaign?

0:02:25 0:02:27
And got me and Mimi cyber-mobbed?

0:02:27 0:02:30
And set everyone against each other so that the showcase fell apart?

0:02:30 0:02:33
ALL: Sofi-Jade!

0:02:34 0:02:36
Oh, and she had the ultimate cover as anti-bullying campaigner.

0:02:36 0:02:40
We were just her Jenga pieces and she sent us crashing down.

0:02:40 0:02:44
Sofi-Jade is the Nameless One,

0:02:44 0:02:46
but I have a plan to catch her and you...

0:02:46 0:02:49
You are going to save the showcase!

0:02:49 0:02:51
Don't despair, Hippo. I've got a brilliant idea.

0:02:54 0:02:58
Hey, it's Shari and this is Operation Save Our Showcase.

0:03:00 0:03:06
Everyone, just follow my lead.

0:03:06 0:03:08
-Ready?

-ALL:

-Ready!

0:03:08 0:03:10
OK, perfect. Oh, and Chloe...

0:03:10 0:03:12
I know what I'm doing, I just need a laptop and five minutes.

0:03:12 0:03:14
Let's get this done already.

0:03:14 0:03:16
I hate musicals.

0:03:16 0:03:17

1. The show must go on

0:03:21 0:03:24

1. So we can celebrate

0:03:24 0:03:26

1. All the great stuff that we all create

0:03:26 0:03:29

1. And the show must go on

0:03:29 0:03:31

1. Though we can't get along

0:03:31 0:03:33

1. We can't just blame the Nameless One

0:03:33 0:03:37

1. And the show must go on

0:03:37 0:03:38

1. Though we've been too uptight

0:03:38 0:03:40

1. Slow to listen and too quick to fight

0:03:40 0:03:43

1. But we're willing to try

0:03:43 0:03:46

1. Which is why the show must go on

0:03:46 0:03:52

1. And the show must go on

0:03:52 0:03:54

1. So that we get to shine

0:03:54 0:03:56

1. Cos every side is my best side

0:03:56 0:03:59

1. And the show must go on

0:03:59 0:04:01

1. Because when we're a team

0:04:01 0:04:03

1. No chore's a match for you and me

0:04:03 0:04:06

1. And the show must go on

0:04:06 0:04:08

1. Cos I've dreamed of this part

0:04:08 0:04:10

1. Made mistakes, but I've still got a heart

0:04:10 0:04:13

1. Which I want you to know

0:04:13 0:04:15

1. And so the show must go on

0:04:15 0:04:21

1. On with the, on with the show

0:04:21 0:04:24

1. On with the, on with the show

0:04:24 0:04:28

1. On with the, on with the show

0:04:28 0:04:31

1. On with the, on with the show

0:04:31 0:04:35

1. And the show must go on

0:04:35 0:04:37

1. Cos I rigged up the lights

0:04:37 0:04:39

1. And I won't take them down without a fight

0:04:39 0:04:43

1. And the show must go on

0:04:43 0:04:45

1. Cos we must see it through

0:04:45 0:04:47

1. We know it's the right thing to do

0:04:47 0:04:50

1. And the show must go on

0:04:50 0:04:52

1. Cos we'd be so upset

0:04:52 0:04:54

1. If we couldn't forgive and forget

0:04:54 0:04:57

1. There can be no regrets, so get set

0:04:57 0:04:59

1. The show must go on

0:04:59 0:05:04

1. On with the, on with the show

0:05:04 0:05:08

1. On with the, on with the show

0:05:08 0:05:12

1. On with the, on with the show

0:05:12 0:05:15

1. On with the, on with the show

0:05:15 0:05:18

1. Check your lines

0:05:18 0:05:21

1. Check your lines

0:05:21 0:05:23

1. Cue the lights

0:05:23 0:05:24

1. Cue the lights

0:05:24 0:05:27

1. That's right where it belongs

0:05:27 0:05:31
-# Where it belongs

-The show must go on

0:05:31 0:05:33

1. On with the, on with the show

0:05:33 0:05:37

1. On with the, on with the show. #

0:05:37 0:05:40
Oh.

0:05:41 0:05:43
You've snatched a glittering phoenix from the jaws of defeat.

0:05:43 0:05:48
If I'd had known you were doing this,

0:05:50 0:05:52
I would have lent you MY camera!

0:05:52 0:05:54
But! But...

0:05:54 0:05:55
I need more than a song.

0:05:55 0:05:57
I need to see you working in harmony.

0:05:57 0:05:59
And we will. I'm ready to go back on stage.

0:05:59 0:06:03
Singing is my thing!

0:06:03 0:06:04
We still need a lead. Unless Zoe's changed her mind.

0:06:04 0:06:07
Please, I'm so over acting. I'm doing this with Chloe.

0:06:07 0:06:11
I'll take back my resignation!

0:06:11 0:06:13
I'll rejoin the play.

0:06:13 0:06:15
In that case, you've convinced me.

0:06:15 0:06:17
The showcase shall go on!

0:06:17 0:06:19
I hope you're proud of yourself.

0:06:22 0:06:24
First you betrayed our campaign and now, you've resurrected a showcase

0:06:24 0:06:28
for bullies and trolls!

0:06:28 0:06:29
I can only see one troll from where I am, and that's you.

0:06:29 0:06:33
-What?

-You've done everything you can to sabotage the showcase.

0:06:33 0:06:37
I've spent so long looking for the real threat and it's been right in

0:06:37 0:06:40
front of me, attacking my friends, banning ME from Dixi...

0:06:40 0:06:43
You're the Nameless One!

0:06:43 0:06:45
No, she's not. I logged into her account, like we planned.

0:06:45 0:06:48
-Hey!

-Pick a better password next time, Rhyme Queen.

0:06:48 0:06:51
-Shari was wrong, she's not the Nameless One.

-What?!

0:06:51 0:06:54
She's next target. Bad luck.

0:06:54 0:06:56
Why is everyone talking about a new song on Dixi?

0:07:00 0:07:02
Never mind singing and dancing, Chloe said she had a new lead.

0:07:02 0:07:06
Greetings, orc fans and followers, LARPers and gamers,

0:07:06 0:07:09
join me as I continue my quest to...

0:07:09 0:07:11
Syd! Less talking, more lifting.

0:07:11 0:07:14
Wow, you look fierce, literally.

0:07:14 0:07:16
-Nice pose, Chloe.

-Not bad, Zoe.

0:07:17 0:07:20
Stop posing and help me!

0:07:23 0:07:25
But I thought you called me over because of a new Grim Griefer lead?

0:07:25 0:07:27
Oh. I logged into that Sofi-Jade's Dixi cos Shari said it was her.

0:07:27 0:07:31
But she was wrong. As usual.

0:07:31 0:07:33
The girl who got my sister kicked off Dixi?

0:07:33 0:07:35
-You sure it's not her?

-Positive.

0:07:35 0:07:37
She's the next victim.

0:07:37 0:07:38
Chloe! Chloe, I need to ask you...

0:07:38 0:07:40
How do you know Sofi-Jade's the next victim?

0:07:40 0:07:43
-Um, yeah, that.

-You Doyles are all "me, me, me."

0:07:43 0:07:46
Some of us have selfies to display.

0:07:46 0:07:49
There was nothing in her Dixi history

0:07:51 0:07:53
to suggest she made any of the troll posts.

0:07:53 0:07:54
But there was a new message in her inbox,

0:07:54 0:07:56
a picture from the Nameless One.

0:07:56 0:07:58
-I don't get it.

-It's a threat.

0:08:02 0:08:04
She deleted this comment right after she posted it.

0:08:04 0:08:06
But someone knows what she did and screen grabbed it first.

0:08:06 0:08:09
It's proof that Sofi-Jade has made a mean comment on Dixi!

0:08:09 0:08:13
If this gets posted,

0:08:13 0:08:14
her internet mob will rip her to shreds and will ruin her reputation!

0:08:14 0:08:17
Great, blah-blah, sad face.

0:08:17 0:08:19
Who cares? Now, will you carry?

0:08:19 0:08:21
Whoa!

0:08:21 0:08:22
We have to warn her.

0:08:22 0:08:24
Why are you trying to help her?

0:08:24 0:08:26
Because! I know she might be the world's biggest hypocrite,

0:08:26 0:08:28
but I saw what that mob did to Mimi and Isla and no-one deserves that.

0:08:28 0:08:33
I think we might be too late.

0:08:33 0:08:35
You've seen it, then.

0:08:44 0:08:46
The Nameless One posted my comment.

0:08:47 0:08:49
You have 83 new messages.

0:08:50 0:08:52
84!

0:08:52 0:08:53
And there's a petition to get me banned from Dixi.

0:08:55 0:08:59
You must think that's pretty funny.

0:09:00 0:09:02
No. No, not really.

0:09:02 0:09:05
Everyone hates me now.

0:09:05 0:09:08
No, they don't.

0:09:08 0:09:10
Not in this room.

0:09:11 0:09:12
Not even in this building, not in real life.

0:09:12 0:09:15
Look, I have been in a lot of Dixi storms.

0:09:17 0:09:22
And your real friends aren't going anywhere.

0:09:24 0:09:26
Addie, even Mimi and Isla.

0:09:28 0:09:32
They'll stick by you.

0:09:33 0:09:34
If you stick by them.

0:09:36 0:09:37
I thought you'd say it serves me right.

0:09:39 0:09:42
I would have deserved it.

0:09:42 0:09:44
Thank you, Shari.

0:09:52 0:09:54
Another dead end.

0:09:54 0:09:55
We'll never catch our cyber villain at this rate.

0:09:55 0:09:58
Speak for yourself. I'm going to know the truth tomorrow morning.

0:09:58 0:10:01
Check out my message to the Nameless One.

0:10:01 0:10:03
Amazing!

0:10:11 0:10:13
How did you get access? Was it the head, or the governors?

0:10:13 0:10:15
Duh, obviously, I didn't.

0:10:15 0:10:17
I'm not even a student here. I made it up.

0:10:17 0:10:19
How's that going to help us?

0:10:19 0:10:21
The tainted treasure gambit. Nice.

0:10:21 0:10:23
It's a classic gaming manoeuvre.

0:10:23 0:10:25
You tell the dwarf king there's treasure in the cave

0:10:25 0:10:27
and when he sneaks in to steal it, bam!

0:10:27 0:10:29
The Nameless One is going to do everything they can

0:10:29 0:10:31
to delete those records by tomorrow morning.

0:10:31 0:10:33
I leave my phone in the media room overnight.

0:10:33 0:10:35
Guess who's going to be caught on camera?

0:10:35 0:10:38
-It's a trap!

-It's a trap!

0:10:38 0:10:41
Oh, Syd!

0:10:41 0:10:43
Oh, off! Off! Shari, off now!

0:10:43 0:10:47
Sometimes, if you want to send someone an emoji,

0:10:47 0:10:50
but they're right in front of you,

0:10:50 0:10:52
you can do the emojis with your face!

0:10:52 0:10:54
Here are the basics. Smiley face.

0:10:54 0:10:58
Sad face.

0:10:58 0:10:59
Angry face.

0:11:01 0:11:02
And this one isn't one of my favourites,

0:11:03 0:11:05
but I end up using it all the time.

0:11:05 0:11:08
Confused face. "Huh?"
