Anne Shirley episode 5 brief recap

Titled Let Us Look On The Bright Side of Things, the episode began with Anne telling Marilla of Mr. Phillips' (her teacher) farewell from the school. She also mentioned seeing the new Minister and his wife. As a welcome, Marilla planned to have them over for tea, which, needless to say, brought great joy to Anne.

The next day, Anne and her friends were playing outside when the game came to Dares. One person could dare another to do something, and it began with Josie's dare to Diana, which the latter lost. To stand up for her bosom buddy, Anne dared Josie to walk a nearby fence, which she did with ease. However, Josie then upped the ante a bit too much by daring Anne to climb a shed and walk its ridgepole.

Against Diana's pleas, Anne climbed the shed but barely took a step before losing balance and falling off the other side. The fall injured her ankle, and thanks to the Barrys, she was rushed home. As per the doctor, she needed six weeks of rest. Throughout her recovery, she had many visitors, including the new Minister and his wife.

Diana visited every day, and during one of her visits, Marilla asked her about the new teacher at school. The dark-haired girl found Miss Stacy "perfectly sweet," with the most beautiful hair and eyes and wonderful oration abilities. Once the six weeks were up, Anne was beyond ecstatic to return to school, especially since she would now be under Miss Stacy.

Fully recovered, Anne was back in school and finally met the new teacher, Ms. Stacy. During recess, the teacher chose to sit outside and eat with some of the girls. Similar to the Minister's wife, Anne received a dress with puffed sleeves, suited to being chosen to recite at the Christmas concert, "Recollections." On the day, Anne overcame her stage fright, and seeing the Cuthberts calmed her.

By the end of the episode, it was Anne's turn to become a cheerleader, giving Diana confidence before her performance. She sang "The Island Hymn" and received loud applause. Later, Anne and Diana shower compliments on one another, and it comes to light that Gilbert had picked up a rose that had been in Anne's hair. The episode ended with Matthew and Marilla deciding to send Anne to Queen's Academy.
