What happens

Mary is desperate to win a prize in a school examination, and she stays up late studying by lamplight in the barn. One night she falls asleep, the lamp tips, and fire breaks out.

After the scare, Caroline forbids Mary from sitting the test. Mary has to weigh obedience against her dream, and the choice she makes tests her honesty with her parents. The episode looks at ambition, responsibility and forgiveness.
