With Christmas swiftly approaching, Reverend Chapel is keen to raise money for Miyamae General Hospital. Knowing that two of his parishioners are members of The Fabulous Five, the good minister asks Sarah and Anna if they can throw a charity performance on December 24. Both girls agree that the event is worth staging and promise to discuss the idea with their dance company.
Following a prolonged discussion, Karen suggests that they dress up in nurses' uniforms to surprise the elderly patients. More debate follows, but eventually, all of them assent to wearing candy-striper outfits with white panties and black stockings underneath. Taking their cue from a famous British comedy series, they will "shock" the audience with an impromptu cancan (ala The Benny Hill Show).
A few days later, Karen and Sarah go to visit local celebrity Mia Szorkova, asking
her to put in an appearance. This naturally requires a considerable
degree of persuasion, as Mia is lead singer of rival pop band MIASMA.
Under normal circumstances, the two groups would never work together,
but given the charitable nature of the enterprise, Mia agrees that she
and The MIASMAS will contribute their skills, albeit wearing different
costumes.
Meanwhile, Lily and Ava contact Leona Alvarez (chief choreographer for GirlFest) to ask if she can help out with the Pageant. Upon hearing their plans, Leona suggests that she and her troupe could dress in French Maid uniforms, serving food and drinks before launching into a third rendition of the cancan (ala The Two Ronnies Christmas Special). This is exceptionally good news: now there will be three
dance groups performing at the Show. Together, they'll raise a small
fortune and give the old folk a Christmas present they'll never forget...
