So Awkward. Martha Fitzgerald (Sophia Dall'Aglio). Copyright: Channel X North

Jas is excited to be playing Juliet in a scene from Romeo and Juliet to be performed in school assembly, even though she's incapable of sticking to the script and getting the lines right!

When Jas gets sick, director Ollie tries to persuade Lily to take Jas's part. Lily doesn't want to steal the role from her friend, but can't resist the costume and the chance to act opposite Matt, who's playing Romeo. She's looking forward to the kissing scene!

Meanwhile Jas has now given Martha her cold and both girls are off sick at Jas's home. Horrified at the untidy state of the house, Martha has a big spring-clean and causes upset when she washes Jas and her dad's beloved teddy bear, 'Mr Sicky Bear', who has never been washed before.

Martha realises she shouldn't have interfered - she should have respected that they were happy with things the way they were. She makes it up to Jas and Mr Salford by painting a balcony for the Juliet scene, learning in the process that it can actually be fun to make a mess and get dirty.

When Jas finds out Lily has taken her part she is bitterly upset, but pretends not to be. Realising how much playing Juliet meant to her friend, Lily generously gives the role back to Jas. Ultimately, however, no one gets to play Juliet because assembly is cancelled as so many pupils are off sick!
