The first episode is: The Representative of the Class. Lavinia didn’t like Sara before, but after this episode she really doesn’t like Sara. Unfortunately it isn’t Sara’s fault. Miss Minchin decides that since Sara is showier she should be the new class representative, especially as she is trying to attract the attention of the Lord Mayor’s wife. Lavinia, the old class representative, is furious but can’t say anything to Miss Minchin. She doesn’t even have the satisfaction of answering questions correctly during their scholarly exhibition for the Lord Mayor’s wife. After, Sara gets permission for the other girls to ride her pony. Even Lavinia’s friends want to go have fun with the others. Lavinia gets her revenge by stabbing poor Chubby with a needle while Ermengard is riding him. Sara figures out what really happens but says nothing.
The second episode is: A Nice Little Lady. We see more of Becky’s life. The poor girl is run off her feat all day every day. Sara is the only one who shows her some kindness. She comes in to put coal on the fire while Sara is telling the girls the story of Cinderella. Later, Minette asks Becky to clean Sara’s room while she goes out. Sara comes in later after dance class (at which she also excels, much to Lavinia’s displeasure) only to find Becky asleep. Sarah lets Becky hold her doll Emily and gives her some candy for later.
