Malory Towers Season 1 Episode 6 The Midnight Feast

In the Malory Towers season 1 episode 6, titled "The Midnight Feast," the girls have just received letters from their families. Some are happy with the news, while others are not. The girls share their letters with each other and discover that one of them has a birthday coming up, but she's afraid that no one will remember it. They make a plan to surprise her with a big birthday party, but they have to do it secretly since it is against the school rules to have feasts and parties after lights out.

They all sneak out of their dormitory after lights out and head to the kitchen to prepare for the feast. It's a lot of fun for them, but also very risky as they have to be extra quiet to avoid getting caught by the teachers. One of the girls, however, becomes nervous and starts to speak louder than she should. Fortunately, they manage to finish the preparations before any teachers arrive and they all sit down to enjoy the feast. They have a great time eating and chatting, but their secret party is soon discovered by one of the teachers who comes to investigate the noise. The girls are caught red-handed and are sent to the headmistress's office for punishment.

In the headmistress's office, the girls are afraid of what their punishment will be. They apologize for their actions and explain why they did it. The headmistress listens to them, but she also reminds them that Malory Towers is not just any ordinary school and that rules must be followed. She then decides on a punishment that will not just teach them a lesson but also bring the girls closer together.

The next day, the girls are told that they have to clean the school's courtyard after lessons. They are not happy with their punishment at first, but they soon realize that they can work together and make it fun. They sing songs, dance, and make jokes, all while cleaning up the mess they made the night before. The punishment ends up being a bonding experience for the girls and they become closer than ever.

As the episode ends, the girl whose birthday was celebrated at the midnight feast receives a surprise gift from one of her friends. It is a beautiful bracelet that they had seen in a shop in town and they had all chipped in to buy it for her as a birthday present. The girl is overwhelmed by their kindness and can't believe that they remembered her birthday. The episode ends with the girls walking away together, happy in each other's company and looking forward to their next adventure.
