So everyone's hearing back to normal this morning? Speak up, Nina.
Stop mumbling.
That answers that question.
Hey, Fabian, do you want to play before breakfast? Alfie, you are not nine years old.
Everyone, can we please focus? Focus on what? The task, Fabian.
Right.
I'm sorry.
The memory's getting worse.
I think it's pretty clear everyone's getting worse.
Okay, guys, We need to find a way to finish this task.
It's got to be about knowing the melody.
If Sarah was here, she would know.
Who's Sarah? Sarah, Fabian, Dollhouse Sarah.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I just Thank you, Sarah.
It's a music stand.
Wait.
It's something.
I just The song of hathor.
That's got to be it.
That's got to be the name of the tune we need to play.
Yes.
So how does the song of hathor go? Morning, class.
Please tell me you've done your homework on cleopatra.
Oh, miss You're the one who knows Mick, aren't you? Yeah, I taught him at my previous school.
Mara Jaffray.
Mara, at last.
I have a message for you.
- Oh.
- Teacher's grapevine.
Only you, Mara.
Mick said to tell you he's doing really well in Australia.
Oh, how sweet.
He talks about you all the time.
Does this guy ever quit ruining my life? There was another thing.
Oh, he said to say he couldn't wait to introduce.
His girl from Australia.
He's got an australian girlfriend? Way to go, Mick.
Valentine, those books you asked for.
Oh, thank you, Mr.
Choudhary.
I thought my godson was in this class.
I'm really sorry we're late.
WeI had an excuse, Which I've completely forgotten.
Don't worry.
It was brilliant.
We're all very proud of him.
So how about you and me hang out after school tomorrow night? Ooh, I think she's washing her hair.
Are you bailing on me? I have to ask.
That's a new experience for me.
Wow.
Okay, so for the benefit of our new arrivals Good look, by the way, Amber We are about to get down to the reign of cleopatra.
Do you know anything about ancient egyptian music? It's for the school concert.
What school concert? Ow.
What? - I-I-it's called the song of Hathor, the song of hathor.
Have you heard of it? Oh, I've heard of it.
I mean, it's one of the key compositions.
Of ancient egyptian music.
Cool.
How does it go? Ah, well, nobody knows.
What do you mean, nobody? Well, if it's ancient egyptian, It will predate musical notation, Right Mr.
Choudhary? Indeed.
The song of hathor is now lost to history.
Nobody alive today has ever heard it.
Miss Valentine.
Perhaps the answer lies in here, corbiere.
Hathor.
I knew it.
How are we supposed to play a song.
That no one has ever even heard? She didn't say when it was lost to history.
What do you mean? - Well, it obviously wasn't lost in Frobisher-Smythe's time, Because he couldn't have used it to set the task.
Yeah.
When did you get so wise, Amber? I think it's an age thing.
Yuck.
Miss Millington, could we borrow you for a sec? Um, we're a teensy bit busy right now.
It's to star in a new online ad for the school.
Where do you want me? Oh, Amber, you need to turn that down.
I couldn't possibly turn down a starring role.
Joy and Mr.
Sweet have recognized my talents.
And singled me out for this.
Actually, your name came first in alphabetical Can we discuss my character motivation before Just learn the lines.
And you can come too, Fabian.
So see you tomorrow first thing in the night.
Amber, aren't you forgetting about something? Run the project past my Agent? Um, gray hair and worry lines.
Don't you think people are gonna notice? Ugh.
Alfie, what's wrong? I don't know.
It feels like growing pains, but I don't - Victor.
- Mm? What is that device? It's a phonograph.
Robert bought it to record his research and lectures.
You see, some of the cylinders.
Bear the image from the task chamber.
The answer lies in here somewhere.
I am sure of it.
In this lecture, I will be considering the art and music of ancient Egypt.
First, an account of my recent visit to the pyramids.
Come here a sec.
Why? What? What just happened, Jaffray? My new profile pic just happened.
"Mara and Jerome are in a relationship.
" Let's see how Mick likes that.
Right.
But But wait, wait, wait, wait.
I thought you broke up with him.
Yes, but I always thought we would get back together.
When he came home from Australia.
How can he be over me that quickly? So you thought, "who could I pretend to date.
That would upset Mick the most?" Oh, sorry.
You don't mind, do you? I guess it could be really embarrassing for you.
I suppose I could tolerate it.
Here you are.
What happened to lunch? Right, so it's the first time in record history.
That Patricia skipped lunch for homework.
Avoiding Eddie, right? Why are you acting weird like this? It's like you never kissed a boy before.
Patricia, you've never kissed anyone? Well, how did I not know this? I even knew you had an imaginary dog called sniffles.
Okay, sniffles was invisible, not imaginary.
So you're avoiding him why? Because suddenly, it's gotten a little too serious? Patricia, it's a kiss, not a marriage proposal.
Just go out on a date with him and enjoy yourself.
No biggie.
But first, you have to tell him you like him, 'cause if he doesn't know that, it's never gonna happen, is it? It's an hour, and nothing from Mick.
He's in Australia.
It must be the middle of the night over there.
Oh, so he's too busy dreaming about his new girlfriend.
Maybe you just need to up your game.
Don't just let him know that you are seeing someone.
Show him.
Show him? More than just one photo.
I think he really ought to know about the fun, amazing, Romantic dates that we have been on.
Amber, I really think you should drop out of the ad.
Are you serious? This could be my big break, my one shot at stardom.
Yeah, but if people start to realize what's happened to you, There's gonna be all sorts of questions.
That we just can't answer.
So I have to choose between personal fame.
Or a horrible fate for my best friends.
Sad times.
Never underestimate the power of makeup.
And forgiving lighting, Nina.
Look at Bart Simpson.
He's been on tv for years, and he still looks 12 years old.
He's a cartoon, Amber.
How do I look? I hope you're not planning on rocking the look.
For the shoot.
- What's wrong with my look? - Nothing? I love retro glamour.
It's just well, this is a school, Not a country club fund-raiser.
What was that? Alfie? Alfie? Who is that? Um, it's it's Alfie's little brother.
He's only visiting.
Why is he dressed that way? That look is so on trend for preteens.
Do you know nothing? We should be getting him back to the house.
Just gonna Are you sure this is too much? Sure you're not too busy washing your hair.
To speak to me? "sorry about washing hair thing.
" Still don't have your voice back, huh? I guess it makes you perfect girlfriend material.
"you should apologize for whatever cheeky comment.
You just made.
" Wow.
Okay.
Sorry.
Date? Yeah.
"tomorrow night? Movie and a pizza?" Yeah, sounds great.
I could do tomorrow.
Yeah.
If I rearrange my packed schedule, I could, you know, fit you in.
"don't pretend you've got a packed schedule.
" Ouch.
Well, tomorrow night sounds great.
Cool.
See you then.
Don't ask.
Oh, you can't ask.
That's good.
Go.
Go, go, go, go.
I didn't like being nine the first time around.
This is insane.
What are we gonna do about him? I don't know.
I guess I'll just have to pretend to be sick tomorrow.
So I can stay home from school.
- I can look after myself.
- Pfft.
You couldn't look after yourself before you shrunk.
It's more important than ever.
That we figure out how to play the song of hathor.
Has anyone figured it out yet? Or how to get the amulet back off Victor? Nobody? No? Nothing? Okay.
Don't worry.
Figure something out.
Amber wanted to let you know that she's Learning her lines.
Uh, am I here? Just there.
I was just explaining to Joy that I want this to represent.
Everything that's good about the school: Youth and exuberance.
Ooh, do I get to shout "action"? No, Mr.
Sweet, you do not.
- I'm ready for my close-up now.
Right.
Let's try a take.
Cue music.
And Action! Welcome to our school, a place to bring out.
The very best in young people.
Here, pupils learn to excel both mentally and physically.
- Cut.
- Cut.
Amber, what are you wearing? I felt this is what my character would wear.
The character is you, doofus.
Well, if Amber wants to express herself like that, So be it.
This school encourages, well Individuality.
Fine.
Let's try another take.
Places, please.
These are awesome.
The way you're looking at me, all sappy.
It's almost as if you mean it.
What? I was saying, you're a really good actor.
Mick is going to flip out when he sees me with you.
There is one thing we need to do.
To make these really convincing, And I apologize in advance.
For what? Pucker up, Jaffray.
Are you sure this is necessary? Ah, my finger blocked it.
Um, we're gonna have to do that again.
You're being so cool about this.
Thank you.
Places, please.
Cue music.
And Action! Welcome to our school, A place to bring out the very best in young people.
- Cut! - Cut! Amber.
- I could really do with a sit-down.
You're supposed to be demonstrating.
How energetic and lively this place is.
Don't you take that tone with me, young lady.
Sorry.
Carry on.
Thank you.
I will.
Places, please.
But why can't we go to the park? Alfie, you know you can't go to the park.
When you've been transformed by an egyptian curse.
I've already rigged the toilet doors.
What you can do is help me think of a way.
To hear the song of hathor.
Boring.
Maybe, but unless you can think of a way to stop Victor.
Or get the amulet off of him, then I distract him.
You take it.
Distract him? Alfie has a plan.
- And - Action! Welcome to our school, A place to bring out the very best in young people, Like manners and respect that those less able to stand.
- Cut! - Cut! Can I just check? Are you using soft focus? Look, I'm sorry, Amber.
I just don't And it's a "no" from me.
In this lecture, I will be considering the art of music Yes, yes, yes.
First, on account of my recent visit to the pyramids Who was that? Upon entering the tomb, My colleagues and I were given a performance.
Of the song of hathor by our guide.
The song of hathor.
Come on.
- I hold you, night.
- I do recall the song's lyrics.
I will find you.
Miss Valentine? You know how you said Mick can't wait.
To introduce his girl from Australia? That's right.
Well, this actually says Mick can't wait.
To introduce his girl to Australia.
Oh.
Oh, and I said - Mm-hmm.
- Oh, that poor girl.
- Yeah.
I better go and tell her I made a mistake.
No, no, let me take care of it.
I cannot wait to see her face when I tell her the news.
You.
- Yeah.
- Oh.
Weren't you meeting her at 6:00? No sweat.
Girl's prerogative, right? Where are you off to, Jaffray? Going over to school to use the Internet.
The wi-fi seems to have gone down in here.
I noticed that.
It just went dead.
It was like someone pulled the plug.
Imagine that.
Now, you go get ready for our next fake date.
Really? Okay.
I mean, another one? Well, Alfie's with his family in town, apparently, And I've got no plans.
What's the big deal? It's not like you're gonna get used to me.
Being your boyfriend, is it? She has bailed on me.
Well then, you won't be needing these.
Yeah.
Welcome to our school, A place which brings out the very best in young people.
Here, our pupils learn to exce I can't believe they recast me.
This must be what it feels like.
To be a regular untalented person.
What if we all get worse? Look at Alfie.
That won't happen, Fabian.
Maybe if we get the lyrics, It'll give us a clue to what the tune is.
They're on the recording.
So let's keep watch on Victor's office.
Maybe one of us will get the chance to sneak in.
It's worth a shot.
All right.
I'll take first watch.
All right.
Any progress with the recording, Victor? Listen to this.
The song of hathor.
Is traditionally arranged in a particular way.
On four horns and an ox bell.
Ox bell? So four horns alone are not enough.
For the kids to complete the task.
Precisely.
And I know just where to find one.
Ha! So we steal the ox bell from the exhibition, And we leave it where they can find it And then when those brats have solved the task, We frame them for its theft.
"Fabian, remember Vera is going to steal an exhibit.
Love, Fabian.
" Leave it all to me, Victor.
They'll take all the blame, And we will take the mask.
Two birds, one stone.
