The episode ‘Chapter Five: Song For A Winter’s Night’ is a fan favourite.
Not only does it feature an incredible musical number from the fab four, it’s also full of twists and turns.
Gloria puts Katy to design her a dress for a ball she is attending – in just 24 hours! However, Katy had promised Jorge she would make him a new dress for Ginger.
As Katy is now preoccupied, Jorge decides to take matters into his own hands and create a dress for Ginger himself but disaster strikes when he breaks Katy’s beloved sewing machine.
Pepper and Josie are also at loggerheads as Josie thinks Pepper leaked a story regarding her boyfriend!
Thankfully, the episode ends on a heartwarming note.
