Everyone looks rather worried. They know what Kitty's story is, and it will not end well. 

Aragon, Boleyn, Seymour, Cleves, Smith-White: All you wanna do
All you wanna do, baby
Howard: I think we can all agree
I'm the ten amongst these threes
All but Howard: All you wanna do
All you wanna do, baby
Howard: And ever since I was a child
I'd make the boys go wild

Kitty shrinks down further into the sofa. "No, no, no," she whispers. 

All but Howard: All you wanna do
All you wanna do, baby
Howard: Take my first music teacher, Henry Mannox
I was young; it's true
But even then, I knew
The only thing you wanna do is... mwah!

"I do not like where this is going," Bert says. "I think I will sit it out, too." He stands up and leaves the room, quickly followed by the officers and most of the queens. 
"I think I will see if I can go and find Emma," Kitty says. She removes herself from the sofa and sprints out of the room. 
"Come on; it can't be that bad!" Rani cries. 
"Yes, it can!" Those remaining hear everyone run upstairs and a door slamming shut. 

Howard: Broad, dark, sexy Mannox
Taught me all about dynamics
He was twenty-three
And I was thirteen
Going on thirty

"Wait, how old was she?" Luke yells. "I'm not sitting through another moment of this." He runs out of the room and slams the door behind him. 
"From what Kitty said, he was actually thirty-six!" Anne groans. "At this rate, no one will be left to react to the song. Maybe it's for the best." She stands up. "Does anyone want to come with me?" 
"I'll come." Clyde stands up, followed by Maria. 
"We'll let you know when it finishes," younger Emma says. 
"Thanks." They head out and shut the door behind them. 

Howard: We spent hours strumming the lute
Striking the chords
And blowing the flute
He plucked my strings all the way to G
Went from major to minor
C to D

Tell me what you need
What you want, you don't need to plead

"What on Earth was Katheryn thinking back then?" Rani asks. 
"That she doesn't want to get into trouble, and she can't say no because it will reflect badly on her," Emma shoots back. 

Howard: 'Cause I feel the chemistry
Like I get you and you get me

And maybe this is it
He cares so much, it feels legit
We have a connection
I think this guy is different

Two of the queens place their hands on Howard's shoulders. Emma starts shaking. Despite not having lived her friend's life, she could imagine the fear and pain she would've felt when Mannox started preying on her. 

Poor Kitty, Emma thinks. If only there is something I could do to save her

Howard: 'Cause all you wanna do
All you wanna do, baby
Is touch me, love me
Can't get enough, see

"This is so childish!" Rani says. 
"She was thirteen at the time!" Emma screams. "You know what? My friends were right about this. I'm out!" Emma storms out of the room. 
"I would leave, but we don't know if Rani would tell the others if the song is over," Sarah Jane whispers to Ruby, who nods. "We haven't met her yet, so we can't trust her." 

Howard: All you wanna do
All you wanna do, baby
Is please me, squeeze me
Birds and the bees me

Sarah Jane and Ruby shudder when they realise what the actress is implying. "But she was thirteen!" Ruby cries. "Mannox should've known better!"

Howard: Run your fingers through my hair
Tell me I'm the fairest of the fair
Playtime's over
The only thing you wanna do is... mwah

Sarah Jane reaches over and grasps Ruby's hand. "If you want to sit this out, I don't blame you," Ruby says. "I'll stay." 
"No, I won't let you watch this alone."
