Jonathan is sent into a mad panic when Nancy announces that the press are due to visit the set the next morning and are expecting a promotional teaser. Jonathan can't believe what he's hearing and demands to know who sanctioned the impromptu visit. Nancy reminds him he did, while standing on his chair at the Child of Courage awards the week before boldly declaring "You think this is emotional? Come and see Renaissance it pi**ess all over these blind kids."

On learning this (and grossly under prepared) he is forced to keep his team in overnight to come up with the goods. After loading up on Red Bulls they set about brainstorming the best way to sell Renaissance. The night descends into chaos as tensions and emotions rise which culminates in Jonathan totally losing control of himself and his team.

As morning breaks Jonathan, in a caffeine induced haze, manages to accidentally delete the entire teaser, just as the press arrive.
