Jean, pass.

Great catch.

- Yes. - Okay, now run. Run quickly.

Pass over here. Pass over here to me.

- Darrell! - High on left.

Yes!

Well done.

After all this exercise, I'm famished.

Come on, let's go for breakfast.

If we want to impress the county scout

we'll need to practise as much as we can.

She'll be looking for the best of the best

when she comes to watch our match.

Play like that and she'll pick you for the county trials for sure.

- Here, look at this. - What are these?

New rules.

"No talking in the corridors, during mealtimes or in class"?

So she can stop us talking to one another.

Look at this one.

"No fraternising with the grounds staff".

Does that mean I'm not supposed to speak to Ron about Thunder?

It's not right for young ladies to mix with the staff.

Every one of my rules will guide you

towards becoming exemplary young women.

Does Miss Grayling know?

I'm sure Miss Grayling would agree

that disobedience is not to be tolerated.

You wouldn't want me to take away your privileges, would you?

I know how much you all love your sport.

And the county trials are coming up soon, aren't they?

That's how they choose the team.

Playing lacrosse for the school or the county is a privilege

not a right, Darrell.

I'm afraid I will have to award you the first order mark of the day.

- With Jean in close second. - What? Why?

Rule three.

Full school uniform must be worn inside the school building.

Not your games kit and most certainly not muddy boots.

Enjoy your breakfast, girls.

- Oh, I'm so sorry. - That's so not fair.

- No food or drink - No food or drink

- outside of the dining hall - outside of the dining hall

- unless with permission. - unless with permission.

- No leaving the school building - No leaving the school building

- without a permission slip. - without a permission slip.

- No jewellery is to be worn - No jewellery is to be worn

- and all hair must be tied back. - and all hair must be tied back.

Now, if everyone would turn out their pockets

to make sure we are adhering to rule six which is...

All valuables and personal belongings

must remain in the common room or dormitory.

Precisely.

Pockets please, girls.

Pockets please, Wilhelmina.

Are you planning on seeing your horse?

It's not for Thunder. It's for me.

I love raw carrots. Can't eat enough.

My favourite.

If you would kindly tell me what rule five is, Wilhelmina.

"No food outside of the dining hall."

No food or drink outside of the dining hall

unless with permission.

And please try to brush your hair.

It was a gift from my mother, Miss Johnson.

Don't you think it's beautiful?

Lovely.

Ellen?

Fascinating.

I grew this crystal myself.

Very clever and very enterprising, Ellen.

Thank you.

Why don't you prepare a demonstration for our next class?

I... I'd love to.

Maybe she's not so bad.

All right, team. Ready?

- Good pass. - Coming your way!

Properly cradling.

Pass to me, Darrell.

- Irene! - Darrell.

- Got it. - Great catch.

- Over here. - Eyes front, Jean.

Sorry.

Girls!

Permission slips, please.

We're not doing anything wrong.

Well, there is a written rule that states otherwise.

Lacrosse is a lesson.

You are outside of the school building.

But the pitch is like a classroom.

It's not the same as the pool or the stables.

Miss Grayling always encouraged us to train when we have free time.

You know I think Miss Grayling is a wonderful headmistress

but Miss Johnson is in charge now

and you do not have permission to be out here.

Please, Matron.

We thought lacrosse practice would be all right.

Order marks all round.

It's about time you young ladies learnt obedience.

On that, Miss Johnson and I agree.

Inside, all of you.

That's my second order mark today.

What if Miss Johnson decides to take away my privileges

and stops me playing in the trials?

You just need to keep calm

don't get wound up and follow the rules to the letter.

So then, I suspended it in the air.

How?

I tied it using a piece of fishing wire

and attached it to a pencil so it could hang.

Oh, it's so beautiful.

I am very impressed.

I love chemistry. I want to be a research chemist.

They make food safer to eat.

They even make new materials to use...

What an interesting ambition.

Tell me, what other experiments have you tried?

So many, I've lost count.

Could you tell me what reaction occurs

when you mix calcium metal with water?

That would create bubbles in the water.

Interesting.

And how might one go about creating green bubbling water?

I...

Matron told me all about the blocked sink, the bubbling water.

I'll wager you were behind it.

I'm sorry.

The crystal.

I will return it to you at the end of term...

if your form manage to keep their order marks in check.

That's not fair!

I'm sorry?

- Calm down, Darrell. - No, no!

It wasn't just Ellen who was behind the trick.

It's not fair that she's the one being punished.

Silence!

Science can be learnt

just as effectively through reading it.

There will be no need for experiments

as obviously they lead to dangerous pranks.

I will be confiscating this

and I will collect your chemistry set later.

Now, I have a meeting with Cook to confirm plans

for healthier meals. Silent reading until I return.

Darrell!

An utter disregard for a valuable chemistry text.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

- This cannot go unpunished. - Miss Johnson, please.

I'm sorry, Darrell.

You will not be allowed to play in the lacrosse match tomorrow.

- Gwendoline will play centre. - No!

- I beg your pardon, Gwendoline. - I'm so sorry, Miss Johnson.

This is just very out of character for Darrell Rivers.

I'm sure no one is more disappointed in herself than Darrell.

It's true.

I am deeply ashamed of my actions.

But if I can't play in the match tomorrow

then the county scout won't be able to see me play

and I might not make the county trials.

I'll give up my privileges if you let Darrell play.

- So will I. - I will too.

- And me. - Enough!

I admire you, Gwendoline, for speaking out for your friend.

And I do not wish to appear inflexible.

Fix the book, Darrell.

All pages as they were, nothing slapdash.

If the book is mended to my satisfaction by the morning

you may play lacrosse.

If not, Gwendoline will take your place.

And this is your punishment, this is not a task to be shared.

That was mean, taking your lovely crystal.

I spent so much time caring for it, making it perfect.

I worked so hard and she just took it.

And now she's taken my chemistry set, I can't even make a new one.

If someone stopped me playing piano, I don't know what I'd do.

Nine.

Thank you so much, but you should be careful.

If Miss Johnson catches you...

I will say that we're not helping you, but giving you moral support.

- Gwen, stop. - Stop fidgeting!

Lights out, girls.

It's past nine and you're not in bed.

Come along!

That includes you, Darrell.

But I need to get this finished.

Well, you should have thought of that before you threw the book.

Perhaps if you all got more sleep you would not misbehave.

And I do not want to hear a noise

not a solitary peep, until the morning.

Understood?

- Yes, Matron. - Yes, Matron.

- Darrell, Matron said... - I can't miss the trial.

The book.

Where's the book?

- No. - Darrell.

I managed to put pages 250 to 300 in order.

I did 301 to 348.

349 to 605.

606 to 685.

And I put them all together.

Thank you, Gwen.

And I made sure it was finished correctly.

Including the cover.

Oh, Ellen, you must be feeling rotten after what Miss Johnson did

with your chemistry set.

I was

but this will show her we can't be beaten.

I can't believe it's done. Thank you all so much.

How can I ever repay you?

Just please try to keep your temper in check

because some of us want to rest on the reserves bench, Darrell.

Now come on, you're going to miss the match.

I'm impressed.

This wasn't an easy task.

No, Miss Johnson.

Especially to complete all on your own.

You did do it all on your own, didn't you?

And it has been done with precision and care?

Yes, Miss Johnson.

Good work.

Now go and get changed. You have a match to play.

And Darrell, don't let yourself down like that again.

- Daddy! - Congratulations on making the team.

Will you be starting today?

It was felt that the other girls should get a chance

but I taught them everything I know.

Well, I hope you don't spend the entire match sitting here, what?

Carry on.

- Where's Irene? - She'll be here, I'm sure.

I'm looking forward to the day.

- Where have you been? - Sorry.

- It was the only time I could do it. - Do what?

Something... for someone.

Bill, I got permission.

Good afternoon, girls.

You're the county scout?

I'm Mrs Beck, but you can call me Harriet

and yes, I am indeed the county scout.

I'm Darrell Rivers, I play centre.

Darrell, I've heard very good things about you.

Have a wonderful match, girls. Break a leg. Actually, don't.

You heard her. Enjoy it.

I can't when I'm this nervous.

You're a wizard centre. Just do what you always do.

All right, ladies, this is going to be a clean match.

No cross-checks, no low passing

and keep out of the crease while shooting. Understood?

- Yes, miss. - Yes, miss.

Right. Come on...

Come on, team.

Over here.

Go on, Darrell!

Yes, Darrell!

- Go, Darrell! - Go... go.

They're running on three hours' sleep between them.

You wouldn't know it.

Everyone. Quickly!

- Yes, Irene! - Darrell, hey...

Darrell...

Good pass, Mary-Lou!

- Well done, Mary Lou! - Go... go!

Go on, Darrell, you can score that.

Come on, you've got this, Darrell.

- Go on, pass. - Pass... pass.

- Come on, everyone. - Is the scout watching?

Quickly!

Right, hurry up!

- Oh, that was so very close. - Oh, Darrell.

I don't know much about lacrosse, but these girls certainly are fast.

- Come on, Mary-Lou! - Yes, well

Darrell and Mary-Lou make a great pairing.

They certainly do.

Come on!

Is that a handkerchief?

Where did it come from?

Oh, dear.

Is she injured?

- Mary-Lou. - Are you all right?

Oh, no, Mary-Lou.

- Are you okay? - Are you all right?

Let's give her some space, girls, please.

It's my ankle.

Yes, I can see this is going to be black and blue in the morning.

Oh, it's nothing arnica and rest won't fix.

"G.M.L."

Come along.

I'm sorry, it just escaped me. I'm so sorry, Mary Lou, really.

You didn't do it on purpose.

Two minutes for injury.

Looks like you'll be playing after all, Gwendoline.

Enjoy yourself, Gwendoline.

You are part of a team, remember.

Shall Gwendoline play?

Come on, Gwen, you can do it.

- Come on, Gwen! - Come on, Gwendoline.

I know you have it in you.

She's a determined young woman, your daughter.

She'll do her best, I'm sure.

- Play. - Here, I'm free.

On the wing.

- Push yourself, Gwen! - Pass, pass.

Quickly.

Watch out!

- Come on. - Go on, Darrell.

Pass, pass.

- Come on, Darrell, over here. - Gwen, pass.

- Sorry, Daddy. - Steady.

Pass. We can do it!

Right, we're tied.

Pass one here!

Come on, Gwen.

Darrell's going to score.

Go on, Darrell!

- Gwen's tripped her. - By accident.

- Still, she's lost it for us. - Go, Gwen, go!

Go on, Gwen. Carry on. You can do it.

- Go, Gwen! - Come on, Gwendoline.

You can do it, Gwendoline!

Oh, we did it!

- Oh, yes! - Yes! Yes.

Gwendoline scored!

Yes!

That's my daughter.

- Oh, my God! - Malory Towers wins the match!

Well done, girls.

And Gwendoline, I think that deserves Woman of the Match.

Daddy... did you hear? I'm Woman of the Match.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.

Well done!

- Well played, Darrell! - I'm pleased we won, but...

Mrs Beck didn't even notice me at all.

I didn't shine.

Well played, Gwendoline.

You showed real passion towards the end.

Well done, team.

I wouldn't have scored the winning goal without all of you.

Well, let's get a picture of the Woman of the Match

and her winning team. Everyone, huddle in.

That's fantastic. Here we go. There we go.

Congratulations.

Well played, everyone.

Yes, what a way to win a match.

That was very kind of you, making her Woman of the Match.

Gwendoline responds well to encouragement.

She's a wonderful young woman, a testament to you and Mrs Lacey.

Thank you, but in all honesty, she's not a natural sportswoman

not like the Rivers girl. She was the real star player.

- Why are we in a potting shed? - You'll see.

Just remember, I didn't have long to set it up

and you're the science whiz, not me, though.

Irene, for heaven's sakes.

All right.

I thought it was ghastly Miss Johnson confiscated your things

when you only did that trick

- to help Bill and... - Irene!

It's fantastic. Thanks!

You mean it?

I thought this way, you could make a new crystal.

- And plan some more pranks. - But, Miss Johnson...

We can't let her spoil our fun.

- We just have to be more careful. - Come on.

Can I help you, girls?

Your father must be proud now, Gwen?

Of course he is. I won us the match, didn't I?

So how are we going to celebrate my victory?

What about a midnight feast?

I'll break the rules if you will.

We don't have food for a feast and we have a test tomorrow.

Matron's coming, she's got news.

- It's about the county scout. - What about her?

Matron told us that the county scout told her

- that she was really impressed. - Yeah!

Well, I expect she was.

Congratulations, Darrell.

Mrs Beck, the county scout

said you are an excellent team player.

She would like you to try out for the county team.

I can't believe it. I'm going to trial.

I told you, you're a wizard centre.

Let's not forget the Woman of the Match.

Come on, Gwen.

Three cheers for Darrell and Gwen.

Hip, hip...

- Hooray! - Hooray!
