The TVO Kids and Apartment 11 Productions logos appear.

A caption reads "Original. Cirque du Soleil Images."

In off, a child says WHEE!
(laughter)

In the forest, Celeste says WE'VE BEEN TRAINING FOR A LONG
TIME AND ARE ALWAYS WATCHED BY A
PRO COACH SO PLEASE DON'T TRY
ANY OF THE MOVES YOU SEE US DO.
NOW, ENJOY THE SHOW.

In off, Ella says PREVIOUSLY...

Nick says THE SCHOOL'S NOT GONE.
IT'S ALL AN ILLUSION.

Alex says YOU MEAN THE SCHOOL'S
STILL THERE?

Ms. Porter says I'M STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF
IT.
YOU DROPPED THE BULLETIN AND
DIDN'T WAIT FOR THE FACTS.
NOW PEOPLE REALLY BELIEVE THE
WORLD'S GREATEST CIRCUS SCHOOL
HAS DISAPPEARED.

Ella says WE REALLY
THOUGHT IT DID.

Ms. Porter says YOU'RE PUTTING OUT ONE MORE
BULLETIN.
AN APOLOGY.
AFTER THAT I'M SHUTTING IT DOWN.

(computer noises)
Against a white screen, the round portraits of Rosa, Phoenix, Nick, Celeste, Max, Ella, Axel and April appear. Surrounded by blue stars that turn yellow, a caption reads "Connecting to. Connected."
In split screens, the Big Top Academy students have a video conference call.

Phoenix says MS. MARTEL YOU
CAN'T SHUT US
DOWN.

Alex says YEAH, WE NEED THE BULLETIN.

April says WE'VE DONE SO
MUCH GOOD WORK.

Ms. Porter says UNTIL YOU TOLD EVERYONE THE
SCHOOL DISAPPEARED.

Ella says BECAUSE WE REALLY
THOUGHT IT
DID.

Nick says THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMETHING WE
CAN DO.

Ms. Porter says YOU'VE DONE MORE THAN ENOUGH.
I'VE DEALT WITH MARBLEIZED
PEOPLE, SHRUNKEN TEACHERS, MY
EVIL TWIN.
NOT TO MENTION THE TIME STOPPER
AND NO ONE OUTSIDE OF BTA EVER
FOUND OUT ABOUT IT.
NOW SOMEONE PLAYS A PRANK ON YOU
AND YOU BROADCAST IT TO THE
ENTIRE WORLD.

They all look worried and sorry.

Ella says WE'RE SORRY.

Ms. Porter says SORRY IS NOT ENOUGH.
STUDENTS ARE TRANSFERRING OUT,
THE JANITOR QUIT, PEOPLE REALLY
BELIEVED BTA WAS GONE FOR GOOD.
WHOA.

Phoenix says THIS SOUNDS BAD.

Ms. Porter says I'M GIVING YOU ONE MORE EDITION
TO RETRACT WHAT YOU'VE SAID,
APOLOGIZE AND HOPEFULLY FIX THE
PROBLEM.
THEN THE BULLETIN IS DONE.
FOR GOOD.

Rosa says BUT MS. MARTEL...

Ms. Porter says NO BUTS.
I HAVE GO DO MORE DAMAGE
CONTROL.

Ms. Porter ends her call.

Nick says OKAY, I'M NEXT UP AS EDITOR SO
LET'S MAKE OUR LAST EDITION EVER
A GREAT ONE.

April says SO THIS IS REALLY IT.
OUR LAST ED-ISH.

Nick says COME ON GUYS.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL
THE FUTURE BUT WE CAN MAKE AN
AMAZING FINAL BULLETIN.

Phoenix says YEAH.
WE CAN CALL IT THE
TURN THAT FROWN UPSIDE
DOWN EDITION AND GO
OUT WITH A BLAST.

Nick says BTA ON 3?
1, 2.

They say BTA!

The 'Circus in my soul' instrumental theme song plays. Fast clips show the students doing their stunts and tricks and having fun at home and outdoors.
The title of the show reads "Big Top Academy. School's out edition."

An animation shows the world turning. A round white and blue stamp reads "Big Top Bulletin" next to a title that reads "The Rayne Report."

Wearing a blue jacket and holding a few papers, Max says HELLO.
MAX RAYNE HERE TO REPORT THAT,
IN OUR LAST EDITION, I MADE A
GRAVE ERROR.
I REPORTED THAT BIG TOP ACADEMY
HAD DISAPPEARED WHICH WE'VE NOW
LEARNED IS NOT TRUE.
(sigh)
THE BIG TOP BULLETIN AND I
PERSONALLY REGRET THIS MISTAKE.
IN FACT, I'M VERY HAPPY TO
REPORT THAT BIG TOP ACADEMY
STILL VERY MUCH EXISTS AND IS
STILL VERY MUCH IN BUSINESS.
TO THOSE OF YOU THINKING ABOUT
BAILING,
PLEASE DON'T GO.

He takes the jacket. Now, he's wearing a blue and yellow zip hoodie.

He continues I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL BUT BIG TOP
ACADEMY IS THE WORLD'S GREATEST
CIRCUS SCHOOL AND I FOR ONE
CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK THERE SO I
CAN LEARN MORE AMAZING THINGS
LIKE THIS.

Now in a gym, he balances a folded piece of paper on his hand. Then, he walks on his hands over steps and performs other gymnastic tricks with his body and a stick.

Max says SO AGAIN,
BIG TOP ACADEMY HAS DEFINITELY
NOT DISAPPEARED AND YOU SHOULD
ALL RETURN AFTER THE BREAK.
CATCH YOU ON THE FLIP SIDE.

A slate reads "Big Top Bulletin presents Ella and Celeste Piccolo."

Celeste and Ella appear on split screens.

Holding a guitar, Celeste says THE PEOPLE I'VE MET AT
BIG TOP ACADEMY ARE
MORE THAN FRIENDS,
THEY'RE FAMILY, AND
CONSIDERING HOW MUCH
FAMILY I ALREADY HAVE
THAT SAYS A LOT.
SO I'VE ASKED MY
SISTER TO HELP ME PUT
TOGETHER A LITTLE
THANK YOU.

Ella says THIS IS FOR YOU
BULLETIN FAM.

Ella dances as Celeste plays the guitar and sings.

Celeste sings WE LOVE THE BULLETIN
ALL DAY LONG.
YOU'RE A HOME,
YOU'RE OUR PLACE
PUT A SMILE
ON OUR FACE.
WE'VE HUNG OUT,
PERFORMED, TOGETHER,
WHILE APART.
WE'LL CHERISH THESE
MEMORIES CLOSE
TO OUR HEART.
BTA.
BULLETIN.
BTA.
BULLETIN.
GO BULLETIN.
WE'RE REALLY GONNA
MISS YOU NOW.
BTA.
BULLETIN.
BTA.
BULLETIN.
GO BULLETIN.
WE'RE REALLY GONNA
MISS YOU NOW.

Ella says WE LOVE YOU
BULLETIN PEEPS.

(computer sounds)
A caption reads "Phoenix connecting to Nick. Connected."

Phoenix says THIS EDITION
IS AMAZING NICK.
YOU SHOULD BE PROUD.
IT'S A GREAT ENDING.

Nick says YEAH, EXCEPT, I DON'T
WANT IT TO
BE AN ENDING.

Phoenix says I KNOW.

Nick says I MEAN, WE'VE BONDED ON THE
BULLETIN.
SOMEHOW, BECOME BETTER FRIENDS,
EVEN THOUGH WE'RE APART.

Phoenix says WORKING WITH YOU GUYS HAS KEPT
ME SANE.
EVEN WHEN MY BROTHERS EAT WAY
TOO MANY ROADSIDE TACOS.

Nick says I THINK THE CLOSER WE
GET TO THE END THE MORE
MY GUT TELLS ME
THIS CAN'T BE IT.
WE CAN'T LOSE THIS THING.

Phoenix says WELL, YOU CAN STILL
DO SOMETHING
ABOUT IT.

Nick says ME?

Phoenix says WE HAVE ONE LAST SHOT TO SAVE
THE BULLETIN.
YOUR GRAND FINALE.
I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF
PRESSURE BUT YOU'VE
ALWAYS COME THROUGH
WHEN IT'S MATTERED MOST.

Nick looks thoughtful.

(piano music plays)
A slate shows Nick with animated sunglasses, a moustache and a jester hat. A bubble thought reads "An important message from our editor!"

Fast clips show the students performing at the academy and outdoors.

Nick says WHAT MAKES AN INCREDIBLE CIRCUS
ARTIST?
THE DETERMINATION?
THE DRIVE?
THE DREAM?
OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE?
SOMETHING SPECIAL,
INDESCRIBABLE?
BECAUSE CIRCUS ARTISTS AREN'T
LIKE OTHER PEOPLE.
WE TRAIN, WE PERFECT, WE FACE
OUR FEARS.
WE EXCEL.
THE ARTISTS I'VE MET AT BIG TOP
ACADEMY ARE FIERCE WARRIORS.
WE'VE LAUGHED TOGETHER.
PERFORMED TOGETHER.
POURED OUT OUR HEART, SWEAT AND
TEARS TOGETHER.
WE'VE HAD TRIUMPHS, WEATHERED
TRAGEDIES AND ALWAYS, ALWAYS,
COME OUT STRONGER AND MORE
UNITED.
WE'VE FACED ADVERSITY AND SHOWN
WHO'S BOSS.
NO MATTER WHO'S TRIED TO STOP
US, WE'VE PERSISTED BECAUSE WE
ARE FIGHTERS.
WE ARE DREAMERS.
WE ARE SEEKERS.
WE ARE STRIVERS.
WE ARE ACROBATS AND WE ARE
CLOWNS AND WE ARE STRONGER THAN
ANY FORCE THAT TRIES TO TEAR US
DOWN.
WE ARE BTA.
AND WITH THE BULLETIN, WE SPEAK
IN ONE VOICE.
ONE VOICE THAT IS BTA STRONG.

(computer sounds)
Now, the students chat in a call.

Rosa wipes her tears and says GREAT JOB NICK.
THAT WAS PERFECT.

Max says WELL, I WOULDN'T SAY IT WAS
PERFECT BUT IT WAS PRETTY GOOD
ZOLTA.

Nick says LET'S HOPE MS. MARTEL AGREES.

Ms. Martel joins the call.

Alex says MS. MARTEL, WHAT DID YOU THINK
OF THE EDITION?
DID IT MOVE YOU?

Phoenix says DID YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND?

Ella says DID YOU UGLY CRY?

Ms. Martel says WHAT?
OH, I SAW YOU PUT OUT A
RETRACTION EDITION BUT I HAVEN'T
WATCHED IT.

Max says SO ALL THIS WAS FOR NOTHING?

Ms. Martel says I HAVEN'T HAD TIME.
I'VE BEEN TOO BUSY TALKING TO
PARENTS AND STUDENTS WHO ARE ON
THE FENCE ABOUT COMING BACK.

Nick says SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Ms. Martel says WELL, IT MEANS THAT THEY STILL
NEED CONVINCING THAT BTA IS THE
RIGHT PLACE FOR THEM AND WE'RE
GOING TO USE THE BULLETIN TO
SHOW THEM THAT IT IS.

Alex says WE GET TO KEEP THE BULLETIN?

Ms. Martel says EXCEPT NOW, I'M THE EDITOR.
I'M GOING TO APPROVE
EVERY WORD YOU PUT OUT
THERE AND I GET A
SEGMENT IN
EACH EDITION.

April says SERIOUSLY?

Ms. Martel says FROM NOW ON THE BULLETIN IS ALL
ABOUT PROMOTING BIG TOP ACADEMY.
PUTTING OUR BEST
FOOT FORWARD.
NO MORE MISSTEPS,
MISHAPS OR
MISFIRES.
CONSIDER IT THE BIG TOP BULLETIN
HEADMASTER EDITION.

Ella rolls her eyes.

Ms. Martel says OH AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE
PRIVATE CHATS BEHIND THE SCENES.
TOODLES.

Ms. Martel ends her call. The students looks confused.

Alex says SO WE SAVED THE BULLETIN,
SORT OF?

Ella says I GUESS IT'S BETTER
THAN NOTHING.

April says IS IT?

Phoenix says I WAS RIGHT.
WE'RE STILL TOGETHER.
WE CAN DO THIS.

Nick says YEAH, I MEAN, IT'S THE BEST
WE'VE GOT RIGHT NOW.

Max says COMPROMISE.
MY FAVORITE.
LATER.

They all leave but Ella. A button appears. It reads "Enter Secret Room."

Ella presses the button and says IT'S BACK.
IT'S NOT A VOID ANYMORE BUT WHO
DID THIS?
HELLO?
VOICE?
ARE YOU HERE?

(ringing)
A flashing Play button appears. Ella presses it.

As a hologram, Nick says IF YOU FOUND THIS VIDEO
THEN PREPARE TO HAVE
YOUR MIND BLOWN.
I'M THE VOICE AND
THIS IS MY
VIDEO CONFESSION.

Ella says IT CAN'T BE.
NICK?

Nick says THINK ABOUT IT.
I FOUND THE
SECRET ROOM.
I BROUGHT ELLA IN.
ALL PART OF MY PLAN.
SO GULLIBLE.

In a clip from the past, Nick says OKAY, HOW DO
WE DO THIS?

Ella says EASY.
WE SOLVE
THE MYSTERY.

The clip ends.

Hologram Nick says SO EASY TO TRICK.

The Unseen Voice says UNTIL YOU SOLVE MY NEW MYSTERY
HERE YOU SHALL REMAIN.

Hologram Nick says TOOK HER FOREVER
TO SOLVE THAT ONE.
SHE EVEN BELIEVED THE SCHOOL WAS
GONE WHEN SHE SAW IT ON HER
DRONE.
PATHETIC.
ILLUSIONS.
LIKE MAKING A
SCHOOL DISAPPEAR.
IT'S KIND OF MY THING.
IT GOT A LITTLE OUT OF
HAND BUT IT WAS WORTH
MAKING ELLA THINK I
WAS HER FRIEND.

In another clip, Nick says I PRONOUNCE YOU HILDA
HINTFINDER.

Ella says I LOVE IT.

The clip ends.

Ella looks sad.

Hologram Nick says WHAT A JOKE.
NOW BTA IS DOOMED
AND IT'S ALL
ELLA'S FAULT.

His eyes glow.

The theme music plays.

The end credits roll.
