Summary

Right. Bit of a left turn this one. But Tessa had to teach this to her teenage cousin recently and she doesn't want the information in her head anymore. She firmly believes that if you've completely failed to learn The Tempest all year and the exam is very soon, she can get you over the line in the next 30 minutes. Stevie has very graciously allowed this episode to go to air.
