0:00:04 > 0:00:07Previously on the Adventures of Billie,
0:00:07 > 0:00:09we found out we've been chasing a shadow.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Alessandro doesn't exist.
0:00:11 > 0:00:12I'm so sorry I lied to you guys.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14I'm the worst friend ever.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Amani, we all make mistakes.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17And your mistake was inventive with a multi-layered
0:00:17 > 0:00:20and engaging lead character. I respect you for that.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Well, I know making up a fake boyfriend seems totally pathetic,
0:00:23 > 0:00:24but I had my reasons.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28- You guys saw what happened when I started here.- That was horrible.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30But we took all those posters down.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32- I bet no-one even remembers any more.- Well, I do.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Blake's always saying I'm too Amanly to ever have a boyfriend.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37"Amanly, you're so muscly,
0:00:37 > 0:00:38"you should be a body-builder.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40"I'm surprised they let someone as Amanly as you
0:00:40 > 0:00:42"join the girl's football team."
0:00:42 > 0:00:44I thought if I just invented a boyfriend,
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Blake would finally leave me alone.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Oh, Amani.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50And then I found some photos online of a guy from a local football team
0:00:50 > 0:00:52and made the fake Dixi profile.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54The Alessandro identity.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55But then someone hacked the profile,
0:00:55 > 0:00:57changed the password so I couldn't log in any more,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00and now everything's spiralled out of control.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02You know, you'd all Dixi-friended Alessandro and now whoever's
0:01:02 > 0:01:05on the account is leaving those mean messages.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06You could've told us.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08The League of Ordinary Heroes would've come to your rescue.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11I think it's quite impressive you managed to pull it off till now.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Maybe you should quit athletics and focus on a career as
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Double Agent Spy Detective.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Bubs, the moral of the story is honesty is the best policy.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23A career in secrecy really isn't what Amani needs right now.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Well, neither is dealing with Selene.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30when we invent a boyfriend for our own popularity.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32I can't believe the whole time I was trying to track down Alessandro,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34you knew he wasn't even real.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Why would you let me hunt for someone who doesn't even exist?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Leave it, Selene. Amani apologised.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Yes, the important thing now is that we focus on finding who is
0:01:41 > 0:01:42controlling the Alessandro account.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44PHONE CHIMES
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Oh, no! It's Alessandro!
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Now the whole school's going to find out.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00My whole life is ruined.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Hey, Amanly. How's the love life?
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Made up any good boyfriends lately?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Back off, Blake!- Can you just leave me alone for once in your life?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Oh, I'm sure you'll have no problem being alone.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Careful, Billie.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Maybe you're a figment of her imagination too.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Or mine.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Ugh.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Blake's the literal actual worst.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Does he really think everyone's so stunned by his boyband face
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- they don't notice what a horrible human he is?- Forget Blake.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26We need to work out who's taken over the Alessandro account.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Amani, who else could have access?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30You know, the only think I can think of is
0:02:30 > 0:02:32when I forgot to log out of the computer room.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Maybe someone saw?
0:02:33 > 0:02:34PHONE CHIMES
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Hold on! It's Abi.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Wait a second.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Didn't we just establish the Alessandro doesn't exist?
0:02:45 > 0:02:46He doesn't.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49So, how come Abi is keeping an eye on him?
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Abi's lying.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Ugh, but, why?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57We've come to Asta-Rathbone to ask Abi why she lied about spying
0:02:57 > 0:02:59on Alessandro when we know that's impossible.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00You know what else is impossible?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02For Echo's campaign to get any worse.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04According to the latest Dixi poll,
0:03:04 > 0:03:06only two people have said they're going to vote for her,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- and that's you and me.- We're doomed!
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Blake the Snake is slithering his way to victory.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11The election isn't until next week.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13We're here investigating now.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15You need to focus! Find Abi.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Look, it's Abi's drama teacher. Let's ask him.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20OK, but if he starts shouting Shakespeare, I'm out of here.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Excuse me, have you seen Abi around?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Uh, I thought I saw her a moment ago.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Or was that this morning?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Abi or not Abi, that is the question.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Well, that was helpful.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Hey, have you seen Abi?
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Yeah, she's over there.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Abi?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39No, I'm Adi.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Oh, sorry, we're looking for our friend Abi. She's new.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Oh, I don't know her. Sozzleplex.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Hey, do you guys go to Drew Fletcher?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47My girlfriend went there.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Are you here to do the arts course?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50No, our friend is, though.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52We're just solving a mystery.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54You Drew Fletcher guys do that a lot.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Well, I hope you find her. Good luck.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Now I'm going to be late for athletics.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Keep me posted, guys.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Where is Abi? This whole thing is deeply suspicious.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05She says she's tracking a boy who doesn't exist,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07at a school where we can't find her.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- She's probably just in a rehearsal. - Rehearsal for her next attack!
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Uh, guys, I might be hallucinating,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13but isn't that the boy who doesn't exist?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Alessandro!- Who?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Alessandro, you're real.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19You've got the wrong guy. My name's Shaq.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Well, um, that cleared that mystery up, then.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I'm more confused than I have ever been.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Alessandro didn't exist,
0:04:28 > 0:04:32but Alessandro does exist and is called Shaq.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33And where's Abi?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36I'm worried about her too, Princess Sparkle.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39So, the next morning I decided to find out what is going on.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Those of us blessed with deductive reasoning already know
0:04:42 > 0:04:43what's going on.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44She's been Alessandro this whole time.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Hey, slow down there, Flash.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Abi's our friend.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I'm not just banging on her door and accusing her.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53This is a delicate situation, OK? So let's be...
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- ..delicate.- I just can't believe there's a real Alessandro.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Only he's called Shaq,
0:04:58 > 0:04:59and he really goes to Asta-Rathbone.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- My mind is blown!- Seriously?!
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Given that he regularly plays for the local football team,
0:05:04 > 0:05:06which you must have known when you stole that photo of him
0:05:06 > 0:05:07off their website.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09The odds of him going to a local school are
0:05:09 > 0:05:11statistically overwhelming.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Remind me why we invited her along.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- ABI:- Calm down, I know we're out of milk.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I'll get some now.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20OMD! Girl Squad. That includes you, Bubs.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21SELENE CLEARS HER THROAT
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Oh, um, hey, Selene.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26What's with the surprise visit? You guys missing me?
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Why aren't you at school?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Um, none of us are school, hon.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30It doesn't start for another 20 minutes.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Yes, but why aren't you in school uniform?- Cos I'm ill.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35COUGHS
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I'm going out to get cough drops, if that's allowed.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40And we're out of milk. What's your problem? Seriously.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I'm gone one week and this is who you replace me with?
0:05:42 > 0:05:43We know you're behind everything.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46You've been attacking us all on Dixi. Admit it.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Selene, remember how we talked about "delicate?"
0:05:48 > 0:05:50What is she on about? What is this?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Abi, no-one's accusing you of anything...- Yes, we are.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54..but we know you lied about Alessandro.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57You said you knew him, but he doesn't exist.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Amani made him up.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01OK, I mean, yeah, I knew that.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I know he didn't exist, but...
0:06:03 > 0:06:05A-ha! See, she's lying.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07He does exist. He just isn't called Alessandro.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08He's called Shaq.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- We found him at Asta-Rathbone when we were trying to find you.- Hello!
0:06:12 > 0:06:15If I can finish. I knew Alessandro didn't exist.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Of course I know Shaq.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I was just trying to protect a friend.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21You know, how friends are nice to each other.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22You should try it sometime.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I knew you'd be embarrassed if I said he wasn't
0:06:26 > 0:06:29really your boyfriend. So, I lied.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31OMD.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I'm so sorry, Abi. That's so sweet.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34I can't believe I dragged you into this.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37And I can't believe I thought logic and reason would get me
0:06:37 > 0:06:38anywhere with you people.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41How am I supposed to figure this out if you're all lying to each other
0:06:41 > 0:06:42all the time?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44You and your friends are ridiculous.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Solve this mystery on your own. I am out!
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- BUBS:- Missing you already.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50- ABI:- You guys didn't seriously think
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I was attacking you on Dixi, did you?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54No, we just...
0:06:54 > 0:06:56..followed the clues.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57I'm sorry.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Walk me to the shop and make it up to me?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02You can catch me up, like why are you hanging with Selene now,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05and how is Echo running for student president? She hates school.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Well, I mean we all hate school sometimes...
0:07:07 > 0:07:09No, I mean hate-hate.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11She did a whole vlog on how all the teachers are like evil overlords,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13especially Miss Malik.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Echo hates Miss Malik?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Enough to say, trash her office?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21No. It can't be.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Just because she's quiet, and always dresses in black,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26and has a double life on Dixi where she monologues about how much
0:07:26 > 0:07:27she hates everyone...
0:07:29 > 0:07:32OMD! Echo's a super villain!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Abi's theory makes total sense.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Of course Echo's The Shredder.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I know it might look like there's no evidence that
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Echo wrecked the office, PearlSillyTomato,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43but I went back and checked out her Dixi posts.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46She did a whole vlog on how much she hates Miss Malik.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Look.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50They can ban our badges, take our wristbands,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52wipe off our make-up,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54but we will never join the clone army.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Then I went back over the footage from when we
0:07:56 > 0:07:58searched Miss Malik's office, and guess what I found.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00That drawer was full of confiscated stuff,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03and it turns out all of it was Echo's.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Not only did she get revenge on Miss M by trashing her office,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08she framed me to make sure I couldn't run in the elections,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- now she's going to take over the school.- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13What about the part where we made Echo run for president?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Exactly. It's the ultimate double bluff.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Look at all the posters she had printed.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20She was always planning to run. We fell right into her trap.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22She's been one step ahead of us this whole time.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Jane, finally you're here.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Just for future reference, we prefer comic books.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Maybe something like snacks...
0:08:28 > 0:08:30It's the Drew Fletcher Student Council Rule book.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Now, even though you've been cleared of trashing Miss Malik's office,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36it's now too late for you to run against Echo and Blake.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39But there is this.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Article 15, subsection 12, line 6.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45"A student running for president may handover the candidacy
0:08:45 > 0:08:48"to another student up to one week before the election."
0:08:48 > 0:08:51OMD. That's perfect!
0:08:51 > 0:08:52That's beyond perfect!
0:08:52 > 0:08:54It means I can run against Blake again.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55But Echo will never go for it.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Er, Echo, who tried to drop out of the election two days ago?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Somehow, I think we can convince her.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Unless I'm right about her. If she does stand down,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05she really was only running because we made her.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08But if she refuses, then it's proof that she was planning
0:09:08 > 0:09:10this from the start and she really is an evil genius!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Billie, Bubs, just in time.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15It's my head-to-head debate with Blake tomorrow
0:09:15 > 0:09:17and my speech needs to slay him.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19We need to show the world that Blake may give you a cupcake,
0:09:19 > 0:09:21but his promises are all fake.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Oh, write that down!
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Wow, all this work, you must be really stressed.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I bet you're wishing I never dragged you into this whole election thing.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I do miss loitering, there's no time to loiter any more.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34And every time I think about making a speech,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36my toes start to sweat and I get dizzy.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39But someone needs to stand up against Blake, right?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Right! And it turns out that someone can be me.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45All you have to do is let me take over the campaign and you can
0:09:45 > 0:09:47go back to lurking in the shadows like the good old days.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Woohoo!
0:09:48 > 0:09:49No?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52You want me to stand down?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55But I found my voice, like you said.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58So, achievement unlocked. Nothing else to do here.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00It's a perfect time to stand aside.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02I thought you'd come to help me.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05No, I won't stand down.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07But you said you didn't even want to run for president.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Are you saying that was a lie?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I'm saying this is my campaign. My fight.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16And with or without your help, I'm going to win.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18That presidency is mine.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21And then watch out, school, cos there'll be a new sheriff in town!
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Hello-o-o-o!
0:10:33 > 0:10:36It's Echo-o-o-o!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39And I need you to hear this message and shout it from the rooftops.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Your vote counts.
