After scaring Kim with his anger, Liam attended filming for Nino's movie at the Agreste mansion. Gabriel allowed them to use the mansion as long as they didn't break anything. As Liam approached the front door, he heard Nino scolding someone.

"Again?!" Nino shouted. "Mylene, we're on the twentieth take, and you still can't get it right. Stay in character!" Liam opened the door and saw everyone. Nino was just stood over Mylene, Adrien, and a laid down, tied up Lila, who were the actors in the scene. Marinette was altering a costume, Alix was holding a clipboard, Juleka was holding a lighting reflector, Nathaniel holding a boom mic and Alya holding what looked like a script. Liam noticed someone to his right. A familiar looking, tan skinned girl. She wore a dark blue t-shirt with a pink radiation symbol in the center. On top of that, she wore a pink short sleeve jacket with blue sleeves. Her pants were blue along the right leg and pink along the left. Her shoes were white with pink laces and black soles. Her hair was black with pink, blue and red running down to the tips at her lower back.

Liam's jaw dropped. "Jessica?"

"Liam?" The two walked into each other's arms. "It's been so long. You look great."

"You look better! What a sight. Of course, the flamboyancy never attracted me."

"Blah, Blah, Blah. How've you been?"

"It's been great. I didn't expect everything so soon."

"That's my father for you. But I am concerned that he is abusing those girls." Jessica pointed at Nino.

"Thanks. I'll handle it. Speak to you later?"

"It's a date." Jessica sniggered.

Liam walked over to his classmates. "Nino! Is that any way to speak to your actors?" Liam looked at Mylene, who was on the verge of crying. "Maybe the problem isn't that Mylene's isn't acting correctly, but that you're not directing her properly. You want to be the next Stephen Deeclay, but if you keep going like this, you'll become the next Richtung Furchtbar."

"Alright, genius. Got any ideas?"

"Let me try. Can I see the script?" Alya gave Liam the script. "What scene?"

"Mylene is supposed to give out a huge 'no' then shoot Adrien," Alya answered. "She's supposed to be rescuing Lila, but then the kidnapper, Adrien, finds her."

Liam nodded. "Right. Mylene, let's use our imagination. Close your eyes." Mylene closed her eyes. "Picture the Agreste Mansion."

"Okay," Mylene answered. "Right, I see it."

"Right, now imagine, that instead of trying to save Lila, you're trying to save someone you love."

"Dad?"

"Try it. When I tell you to open your eyes, aim your..." Liam saw the tennis ball launcher Mylene was using as a weapon. "...gun at me, and yell no. Can you do that?" Mylene nodded. "Right, now, open your eyes!"

Mylene opened her eyes and saw Liam. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Mylene yelled and fired at him, sending a tennis ball into family jewels.

"Oof!" Liam groaned and fell to the floor. His classmates couldn't help but burst into laughter. Even Jessica was laughing.

"Oh my god, please tell me you got that on camera!" Alix asked.

"Yeah!" Nino answered. "Comedy gold!"

Mylene ran and knelt near Liam. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry! Are you alright?"

"I'll live," Liam answered in a really high pitched voice. Mylene was horrified.

"Have I done that?"

"No," Liam responded in his normal voice. "I just thought Nino could do with another laugh." Liam stood up. "Before I flip him off for directing you better than he did." Liam gave his right middle finger to Nino. "You see? If you want a certain mood with a character, it's best to try and get the actor in the same mood." Liam turned to Mylene. "I heard that your dad is Fred Harprele, the famous mime actor. I think he'd be proud of you."

"For what?"

"Giving a brilliant performance. You use your imagination like that, you'll be amazing. Assuming you're working with a knowledgeable director, of course."

Mylene hugged Liam. "Thank you."

"Your welcome."

The rest of the shoot went well. Nino was giving Mylene good direction and everyone was stunned.

"It's like she's a whole other person!" Marinette said.

"That is the whole concept of acting," Alya responded.

At the end of the shoot, Liam, Jessica, Nino, Adrien, and Marinette took the filming equipment into a van. Gabriel Agreste provided everyone with a bottle of soda. When the equipment was taken back, Alix opened her bottle and spoke.

"SHUT UP!" Everyone stopped in their tracks. "I'd like to say congrats. To Liam, for helping Mylene find her acting ability and showing Nino how to be a good director, to Nino for directing Mylene, Lila and Adrien brilliantly, to Lila and Adrien for their performances. Finally, to Mylene..." Everyone was mute. "For shooting Liam in the balls." Everyone began laughing, except Liam.

"Okay, there is such a thing as wearing out a joke." The boy said, visibly annoyed.

"I thought you'd have the balls to take a joke like this. Oh, wait."

"Don't push it, Alix!" Liam was getting angry, influenced by his watch being infected with akumas.

"I guess you're not having kids now!"

Liam snapped and yelled out a secret. "I wasn't gonna have kids anyway, you suck me dry every time you're at ours." Everyone gasped, and Alix went red. In pure rage, she threw her bottle at Liam, but he ducked and the bottle hit Adrien... Just as Gabriel Agreste walked in.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" The fashion designer yelled. "GET OUT! ALL OF YOU! OUT NOW!" Everyone ran. When Alix stopped, she leaned her back towards a wall, slipped down and began crying in her hands. It was at that moment, Liam knew. He fucked up...
