Mrs Miller brings Miranda to play with Nia and Rena. Whilst the mothers are distracted with their tea and coffee, Nia and Miranda are up to no good.

Rena, who recently turned two, is going through her terrible twos. Screaming and tantruming more than usual. Right now she's reasonably calm, but she could explode at any moment and Nia doesn't want to take any chances.
Nia and Miranda take Rena into the kitchen. Then Nia opens the drawer under the oven. It's normally used to store cake pans and muffin tins, but Nia has a better idea. Miranda helps Nia put Rena inside the drawer and shut her in. 'Right, now we can go play.' Miranda whispers.

She starts to walk away, but Nia isn't finished. She gets her stool, climbs onto the kitchen counter and turns the oven on. She tries to climb down quietly but she slips and catches Ana's attention. 'Nia, what are you doing? Why are you so close to the oven?' She helps Nia get up and puts the stool away.

'Where's Rena?' She asks. She recognizes the guilty look on Nia's face. Ana sees that the oven is on, turns it off and opens the drawer, only to discover a sweaty, sobbing toddler. Ana takes Rena out and gives her a cuddle.

Mrs Miller is horrified at the fact that Nia had just put her little sister in the oven.
