[bunniefuu]

- No!
- No! Guys! Help!
- Alfie!
- Alfie! Ow! Patricia, don't just stand there! Help me! Come on! Quicker! Trixie, you are freakishly strong.

You're welcome.

Alfie, are you okay? The amazing alfredo lives to fight another day.

Okay.

Look, let's get back to the drawing board.

Everyone retrace your steps.

Let's get out of here.

Oh, yes.

Yes, I'm looking forward to meeting you too.

Yes, yes.

That's the correct address.

Okay, see you then.

Bye.

Oh, Vera.

I have a consultation this evening.

With a memory therapist.

Is it all right if I use the living room? A memory therapist? Yes.

I'm determined to remember what happened.

Before that bump on the head.

Oh, why don't you use my room, Trudy? It'll be much quieter up there.

Oh, okay.

You want a memory therapist, Trudy, Then that is exactly what you shall get.

Oh.

Hello.

It's Trudy rehman again.

I'm so sorry.

I've changed my mind.

I'd like to cancel that appointment.

Okay, Trudy.

Thanks for letting me know.

Are you planning a picnic? And throw them down the grill to her.

She'll be starving.

Or we could spend that time.

Trying to work out how to save her.

Nina needs her fruit and veg.

Do you want her to get scurvy? Anyways, how's the practice going? All right.

Well, there are a few subtle differences.

Between this game and the one in the task tunnel.

Yeah, this one doesn't have hidden trapdoors all over it.

The danger squares are marked, But the anubis guards downstairs are more limited.

They don't move.

No, they just swivel and point at you.

Until you go, "oh!" So in theory, wha Continue.

So in theory, the game downstairs should be easier.

We should be able to plot a safe path.

Across to the other side.

A lot of "should," sir Fabian.

I'm in over my head.

We need a strategist.

It's not just about being clever.

We need someone.

Sneaky.

Ah.

Was that Trudy I heard earlier? I need to speak to her.

With regard to taking over as house mother tomorrow.

Uh, Victor, I have given this some serious thought, And I am not going to leave anubis house.

It is for your own safety.

We agreed.

No, you agreed.

And anyway, I have a plan that may get us.

To the mask of anubis sooner than you anticipated, Perhaps even tonight.

Do you intend to share this plan with me? All in good time.

Okay, so I thought of the perfect person.

To be our strategist: Joy.


- Joy?
- You're kidding, right? Look, look, now, okay, Think about it.

She is a brilliant chess player.

She spent all of last term playing chess against a computer.

And b*ating it too.

I vote we bring her in.


- I vote we really don't.


- Me too.

Um, Joy's been acting a little crazy recently, And I'm pretty sure she'd checkmate us.

Down the hall on purpose.

And Nina would be totally against it.


- Yeah.


- Because it's Joy.

No.

Because it's endangering someone else.

Yeah, but Joy will be the one calling the sh*ts.

She wouldn't be in any immediate danger.

Then why not Mara? She's good at chess, and she doesn't hate us.

Well, you said "sneaky.

" got to be Jerome, right?
- Are you insane?
- Okay.

I vote for no one.

No, don't you get it, Patricia? I can't do this on my own! The stakes are too high.

We have to give this our best sh*t, And that means getting some help.

What's sweetie doing here? I thought we had history now.

Hey, if sweetie's in here Patricia, I just had a brain wave.

Then you'd better sit down.

Ow!
- We get Mara and Joy to have a chess
-off.

See who's best.

Ugh.

Wait, no, no, no, it's gonna work.

Attention, everybody, please.

I have an announcement to make.

The school website, Imaginatively renamed the jackal, Has been short
-listed.

For a national student Web log competition.

Nice one, Joy.

Um, what about the blogger of the year prize, Mr.

Sweet? It's going to be announced at around the same time.

Oh, and you'll be pleased to hear, Mara, That the thanks to the quick thinking of Jerome and Eddie, Your article has been deemed eligible after all.

Yes.

So was there a problem with it then?
- Joy?
- Mm? Didn't you tell her? Uh There was a power outage just as Joy submitted it.

All the computers went down, and she missed the deadline.

Oh.

So I rang up the organizers to explain, And they were very understanding.

Thank you.

Why didn't you say? Because it isn't true.

There wasn't a power outage.

She just didn't submit it.

Mm.

Might have known you'd go telling tales to daddy.

Listen up, lady, okay? We could have dropped you in it big time, okay? And we didn't.

All we wanted was Mara to have a fair sh*t in the competition.

Now she does.

Why would you do something like that? 'cause for once around here, I wanted something that was just mine.

Is that so bad? Wow.

Okay, haters, floor is yours.


- Well, there goes my chess
-off idea.


- Nina?
- Nina.

Yes, I'm down here! We're going to throw you down some food.

Oh! Thank you! I'm starving! I told Patricia she'd be starving.

Yeah, well, let's see if we can get this.

Okay.

Here's some water.

All right.

Oh! I got it.

And the food.

Have you got it? Oh, yes.

Thank you so much, guys.

Okay, Nina, just hang in there, all right? We'll get you out of there really, really soon, okay? Totally.

Good call, fabes.

We don't want her to know we're totally stopped.

Amber.

Imagine it, Mr.

Sweet.

It could be wonderful.

There's such talent at this school.

Yes, I think a student orchestra.

Is an excellent idea, miss Valentine.

Now, I really must be getting on.

Great.

What are you two doing in here? And wasn't this door locked? Um, no.

Uh, we thought you might want some help.

Arranging the end of exhibition party.

Party? What party? I don't know anything about a party.

Well, uh What, with the treasures of ancient Egypt exhibition.

Moving in in a few days.

I wanted to volunteer my services, Mr.

Sweet.

Mm.

Joy's not the only one around here.

Who can plan a party.

Thank you very much, Amber, but that won't be necessary.

Vera and Trudy will arrange a reception.

Over at anubis house.

And now shouldn't you both be in class? Yes.

Right.

Ah.

Eat.

Lick.

Must keep your strength up if you are to survive.

Thought you'd left me here to rot.

Mm.

Not a nice feeling, huh? You at least have people to care about you.

When I disappeared, no one came.

Not even your son? Especially not my own son.


- I'm sorry.


- Ah.

I have come to realize I brought it all upon myself, chosen one.

What does it mean, exactly, to be the chosen one? You don't know? Oh, you are a direct descendent of the high priestess amneris.

You are chosen.

The paragon.

Paragon? And the osirian is your protector.

Together, you keep the world safe.

What? Wait, wait, wait.

Rewind.

The world? You cannot escape your destiny.

Joy, look Fabian, whatever it is you're going to say, don't.

Wha I know I did a bad thing.

I don't need to be told I did a bad thing, And the last thing I need right now is a lecture from you.

No, and a lecture is the last thing you're getting.

Whatever bad thing you've done, I don't care.

Joy.

Look, I really, really need your help right now.

Like sun and moon.

Like yin and Yang.

The chosen one has always had her counterpart.

Paragon and osirian have been paired together.

Throughout the centuries.

So who's my Yang? You do not know, But one thing is certain.

He will not be far away.

I can't believe you asked Joy to help.

Without checking with us first, Fabian.

The first rule about Sibuna is, You do not talk about Sibuna.

I told you, we should've had Mara and Joy.

Fight it out between them, a chess off.

Two cute girls in a brainy grudge match.

Ow.

We don't have time for that.

We don't have time for anything.


- Sibuna.


- Shh.

Sorry.

Has Fabian told you? He asked me to join the g*ng.

Sibuna! Ah, thatRight there.


- Oh, is this the one?
- Yeah.

No! As a temporary member, that's all.

Yep.

So, fabes, you want to teach me how to play this game or what? I I And Jerome went to see sweetie and sorted the whole Joy thing, And now my article's been entered.

Into this major competition.

That's great.

I know.

If it wasn't for Jerome, I would still be Jack jackal.

Oh, and did I tell you how he Yeah, Mara.

Several times.

Are you okay? Yeah, it's just I mean, you've been talking about Jerome a lot.

Have I? Sorry.

You know, if you thought this.

Long
-distance relationship thing wasn't working, Then I'd understand, I guess.


- I
-I don't think that.

Jerome and I are just friends.

Oh, good.

I'm glad to hear it.

Anyway, um, I better let you get to bed.

It must be 3:00 in the morning over there.

It doesn't matter.

You're worth it.

Look, I'll call you back when I get up for real.

I miss you.

Me too.

Yes! And the human wins again! Well done.

I can't believe there's a whole set of tunnels down there.

I can't wait to see them.

Mm.

Yeah, well, if you'd been through what we have, You'd realize it's not just one big game.

I thought that's exactly what it was.

One big game? Um, actually Amber, I haven't told Joy absolutely everything.

It's best we do this strictly on a need
-to
-know basis.

Oh, thanks.

But Nina is trapped somewhere, right? And if I help you win this game, we get her out? Yeah.

And you really trust her to do that, do you? After everything Joy's done.

And knowing how she feels about Nina? Amber, are you saying that I'd deliberately throw the game.

In order to leave Nina down there? Yes, actually.

Amber! Fine.

Do it without me.

No no Joy! What did you do that for? Come on.

We were all thinking it.

Oh, Amber.

Amber, why? Okay, maybe I was a bit out of order.

I just don't think Fabian should've asked her.

Without checking first.

It's just not Sibuna.

Oh, hello, you two.

Hey, Trudy.

This is Dr.

Alexander.

He's here to give me a memory therapy session.

Good afternoon.

Uh, memory therapy? As in, like, memory for the remembering of things? The key to recovering buried memories.

Is dream interpretation and visualization.

It's a very precise science.

Trudy, do you think this is a good idea? I assure you, Trudy is in excellent hands.

Okay, bye, then, you two.

Wish me luck.

This way.

That should be interesting, Vera.

Trudy getting her memory back.

Yes.

I Hope it all works out for her.

I'll just go and see if they need any refreshments.

She doesn't seem the least bit bothered.

It's weird.

Do you think she's up to something? She's breathing, isn't she? So I'd say she's definitely up to something.

It's our duty to find out.

Okay, we're staking her out.

I only said yes to Fabian because he sounded so desperate.

But for Amber to actually He is desperate.

We all are.

We need you, Joy.

Really? Really, really.

Come in.

Hey, um Look, about what Amber said It's okay.

I'm still in.

Great! But you're gonna have to take me down there, though.

I should really see those statue things for real.

Okay, well, um we'll go down tonight.


- Okay.


- Okay, after dinner? And in the meantime, better get practicing some more.

Thank you.

I really appreciate this.

Oh.


- Thank you.


- Mm.

All right, Amber.

Bye.

Well, I guess there's some perks, then, To this being kind and helpful thing.

Oh, don't even.

Yes.

Yes, it's all coming back to me.

Oh, yes.

I haven't lost my touch, Robert.

Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana.

Iowa You are trying to keep your mind active? Yep, that's right.

So tell me about this osirian.

Mm.

I've told you all I know.

Sarah was the chosen one, of course.

I've been waiting so long, keeping the secret.

Now it's your turn.

Here, quick.

Take this.

But keep it well hidden.

That makes sense.

And Rufus Zeno, an osirian.

Rufus Zeno? But he It all went terribly wrong.

The power went to his head somewhat.

No kidding.

Well? Shh.

Come.

Well? All done.

She's gone to her room for a lie
-down.

Did it work? Yes.

Any residual memories gone, fake memories planted.

Excellent.

And now you need to show me how it's done.

I want to mesmerize those brats.

Get them under my control.

Finish this thing once and for all.

An egyptian memory box: My secret w*apon.

This is the memory box I used on Trudy.

It's based on ancient egyptian memory.

Your students must accept the box as a gift, And believe in its power.

When they see what's happened to Trudy, How can they not believe? You can release them with these words.

Thank you, doctor.

Now, I'd better check on Trudy.

You go out the back way.

Dr.

Alexander has worked wonders! Oh, well well, shall I help you with dinner? Or maybe I could finish the laundry.

Oh, that's very kind of you, Trudy.

Uh, shouldn't you be resting? Oh, no need.

I feel on top of the world.

He gave me this memory box, And then he asked me to close my eyes and relax.

And empty all my thoughts into the box.

And then we just We just put them all back in the right order.

But did it work? Yes! I remember absolutely everything.

Really? Really! I remember the beach and the hotel oh, and the food.

Oh, the food was to die for.

The beach? A hotel? Yes! My vacation.

Such a shame to let a branch falling on my head.

Blot out the holiday of a lifetime.

What? Uh, where have you two been? Fabian, you need to come and help.

Help with what? Can't it wait? Afraid not.

Alfie's, um, science experiment malfunctioned.

Again.


- Oh, want me to have a look?
- No! Just Patricia and Fabian.

Okay.

I'm sensing this has nothing to do with a science project.

Did Vera hand you a strange box at all? Or start chanting over the potatoes? Uh, no.

Phew.

What what's this about? Trudy's memory guy isn't a doctor at all.

He's a crook, a fake, a cheat, a fraud, a quack.

I think they get it, Amber.

Vera wants to control us.

She said so.

I'd like to see her try.

But we don't know why.

Look, I saw Victor playing senet earlier, and he's good.

So what? We fire Joy, and hire Victor? It doesn't matter how good he is.

He can't play on his own.

You think they need pawns? Oh, well, excuse me, but I'm nobody's pawn.

They said the memory box routine worked on Trudy.

It did.

She's totally reprogrammed.

And they want to do the same to us.

Yes! Take that, dog face.

Ha! Yay.

You're showing remarkable dedication to the cause, Joy, But I really do need to be locking up.

One more game.

Just one more.

Promise.

Ah, sorry.

No more visitors.

We're just about to close.

Forgotten me already, Jasper? You would do well to remember.
