Who Sent in the Clowns? DIXI

Hey, guys. So Shari should be here any minute now. She's going to meet

me with the hidden camera footage from the media room.

Her brother got this idea from an elf, or something.

I didn't really get that part, but the point is,

that the Nameless One walked right into a trap.

So after all the drama, I'm back in the play, which is pretty cool.

Working with Ryan again.

Not that I'm even thinking about that.

I have lines to learn.

And just because our characters are in love, doesn't mean that we are.

Yeah, so I liked him, so what?

He was really mean to Zoe,

and he was mean to me after all that Take Back Dixi stuff.

He is a total hypocrite.

But he was genuinely sorry when he apologised, like he really cared.

Surely that can't just be acting?

If I only knew how he really feels...

OMD, just ask him out!

What?

You know, "Hey, Ryan, how's it going?

"Let's go for bubble tea."

I can't do that.

Why not?

-Because I can't.

-You need to get to know him.

Find out if you LIKE him, like him.

Or if he's just really good at performing romantic speeches.

He is really good at that.

Look at me and Addie.

We asked each other out, and I'm really glad we did.

So the date went well?

Yeah. It did.

So now I know.

I LIKE her, like her.

Ooh! Yes!

Eve hearts Addie!

And it makes her face do that.

It's so cute.

Shut up! Shouldn't you be getting back in the spotlight?

I'm just waiting for Shari.

-Oh, Shari.

-Meems, we need to talk - you are not going to believe this.

-Oh, hey.

-Oh!

Eve, what are you doing here just popping up on people like that?

It's called set building.

Eve was just telling me about her date with Addie.

Oh, the date. So you went on the date then, that's...

-Was it good?

-Yeah, it was great.

Great. Really?

You sure it's not just those sugar highs that you get, you know,

it's very easy to confuse the feelings?

No, it was great.

But I'll tell you later.

What do you need to talk about?

Who needs to talk? I don't need to talk. I should be going.

-Wait, what about the footage?

-What footage?

You know, from the media room.

Of the Nameless One.

That! Yeah...

I haven't a chance to look at it yet.

-Isn't that Syd's phone in your hand?

-Hmm?

Yes, it is.

I haven't pressed play though yet.

You know, I think I strained my thumb.

What's going on?

Yeah, you're acting strange, and not the usual kind of strange.

A strange kind of strange.

Shari, just show us the footage.

-No.

-Oh, come on. Give me that.

-What is it?

-See?!

I told you I should be going!

Eve, I'm so sorry.

The trap caught Addie.

Oh, no - Eve, wait!

Oh, Eve, please wait,

I know it looks bad that Addie was caught in Syd's hidden camera trap

but maybe there's an innocent explanation.

All we have to do is confront her about what she was doing in the

-media room.

-I'm not confronting her.

We're just going to have a conversation.

A civilised conversation.

Exactly. A civilised confrontation.

-Conversation!

-That's what I said.

Addie, do you have a minute?

Here, let me do the cables.

Forget I'm here.

Can we talk in private?

Anything you have to say to me you can say in front of my best friend.

What were you doing yesterday in the media room?

What do you mean? Were you spying on me?

Don't turn this around on me.

It was a trap for the Nameless One.

But I never expected to find you in it.

Look, I'm not the Nameless One.

I was trying to protect someone.

-Someone close to me.

-Who?

Someone I really respect and admire.

-Is it me?

-Why would it be you?

I don't know, maybe because I'm a maverick cop who doesn't play by the

-rules?

-It was someone I didn't want to see get hurt.

You seeing someone else?

Stop it, Eve, you know who it is.

I was trying to protect you.

What?!

You think I'm the Nameless One?

I know you're the Nameless One, Eve.

I found this sticking out of your bag.

-DISTORTED

-Sound familiar?

It's the voice of the Nameless One.

DISTORTED OMD, it is!

Sorry.

That's not mine.

Someone planted it.

-Of course they did.

-They did!

Why would you date me if you think I was behind all this?

Just so you could carry on your little own investigation?

It was because I liked you.

-Liked?

-I could have forgiven anything.

Helped you through whatever breakdown made you do this,

but not if you can't be honest with me. I can't date a liar.

And I can't date someone who doesn't trust me.

Then, I guess we're done.

This is a disaster.

I can't believe Addie's the Nameless One.

But I need to follow the evidence, don't I?

Perry here, with Perry Presents: A Showcase Dress Rehearsal Special.

After all the sabotage, all the attempts to shut it down,

we are still undefeated.

And just hours away from tonight's performance.

Let's check in with the directors.

Shari, I've made some dialogue tweaks.

-You should take a look.

-Sorry, Benny...dict, can it wait?

-I'm in the middle of something.

-What? A conversation?

It's just, it's important.

That's all. It's the big outpouring of love.

Yeah, well, love took the day off.

Eve and Addie aren't speaking.

One of them's the Nameless One,

and I'm trying to prove that it's Addie and not Eve, but if I do,

it will break Eve's heart.

No - their story can't end like this.

We need a happy ending.

I'll guess the actors always follow the script.

Mimi, can we rehearse some new lines now?

What new lines? Has the Nameless One rewritten the script again?

-No, it's just a new speech at the end.

-Oh.

I have waited so long, tried so many times to tell you how I feel.

-Words are not my friend...

-Ryan, stop.

I can't tell what's acting and what's real any more.

We've been hot and cold, and round and round, and...

I just have to know.

Do you want to go for a bubble tea with me?

I have to learn my new lines.

Attention, everyone.

I've just learnt we have a nest of vipers in our henhouse.

I've received an anonymous message about all the backstage cyber

bullying and sabotage that's plagued our production.

And they say the smiling villain is either Addie or Eve.

-It's not Eve. She's...

-Silencio!

Which one of you is it?

Speak now or face the music and dance.

It isn't me.

But I don't know who it is.

-Me either.

-Very well, since you both want to cover for each other,

you leave me no choice -

you're both suspended,

you won't take part in the showcase,

and you will both receive a failing grade for the course.

-What?!

-I've got an A-star average.

I never failed anything in my life.

Both of you, come with me.

Plot twist!

Double, double, girls in trouble.

We have to prove Eve is innocent, even if it means romance is dead.

Hey, who are these clowns?

-MIMI SCREAMS

-Evil clowns!

We're here for the clown cavalcade.

There is no "clown cavalcade".

Or any Bozo bonanza.

No, we've been booked for the clown festival, in here tonight.

But it's our showcase tonight.

Well, somebody thought it needed more clowns.

This is our first booking in months, we're not going anywhere.

The Nameless One has struck again!

But this means whoever booked these clowns is the Nameless One.

Wait, I'm coming with you.

And away from the clowns!

And I thought the Nameless One's video vandalism was bad.

But a showcase full of clowns, that's an even bigger plot twist.

And you saw it right here, on Perry Presents.

I don't care how scary those clowns are, Lilac,

we need to save our showcase.

Nameless One, you're going down.

We have to find out who sent in the clowns and changed the showcase Dixi

page. And that's run by Miss Malik, so I want to look at her computer...

THEY SCREAM

-Syd!

-Do you have to go creeping around dressed as a...

I'm going to say pixie.

At least that's better than a giant spider costume.

I'm not creeping - I'm in stealth mode.

And I'm not a pixie, I'm an elf.

How can you not see that?

-Why?

-Can't have an elfie mission without elves?

There might not be any showcase at all. The place is full of clowns.

Evil clowns?

-The jury's still out.

-No time for clown talk.

We have to clear Eve's name and unmask the Nameless One.

Which also means catching the Grim Griefer.

I'm coming with you.

Open up, it's the...

elves.

OK, great, the coast is clear.

OK, so there must be a way to see if Addie was the last person logged in

-through this computer.

-Wait, couldn't she do it

through any computer?

That's your plan? Shari, you really have no idea how any of this works.

Hey, guys.

ALL SCREAM

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

You didn't. That was just my combat reflexes kicking in.

I want to be here when you guys solve the case.

Perry Presents: the Nameless One, named.

Well, we're still working on it.

But we know it's Eve or Addie.

Maybe I could get one of them to confess on camera.

Oh, this is the showbiz story of the term!

Guys, why does your teacher have a video camera?

Probably to record shows and rehearsals and stuff, why?

If she's filming the showcase,

maybe the Nameless One was caught on camera.

Gotcha, Nameless One.

We're going back to the theatre to save the showcase,

and then it's game over for you.

Hiya, I'm Sofi-Jade.

-I'm Addie.

-And here's...

-BOTH:

-Stuff teachers say.

When you finish this chapter go on to the next.

Put that away, are you sending a text?

The bell won't dismiss you, remember, I do.

If Ryan jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?

You need to learn everything for this test.

Just look at this homework, now, is that your best?

It's your time you're wasting if you don't stop talking.

You run cross-country, but I see you walking.

We're reading Lord Of The Rings in literature class.

So revise for the exam...

-BOTH:

-Or you shall not pass!
