Tamino soll gemeinsam mit dem lustigen Vogelfänger Papageno die schöne Prinzessin Pamina befreien, die der gefürchtete Fürst Sarastro in seiner Burg gefangen hält.

Tapfer ertragen die Gäste das Vogelgezeter und feiern am Abend alle gemeinsam ein buntes Musiksommerfest. Die fröhliche Musikfantasie von Camille Saint-Saëns ist hier mit viel Humor erzählt.

Vanessa will be choosing the first soloist to compete at the next competition for the team, and suggests to Harper that she find a way to figure out how to get that mojo back.

Rose revient d'un voyage à New York. Dans l'avion, elle fait la rencontre de Woody, un guitariste qui lui joue une ballade folk, la chanson de Martin. Ce morceau, dans la tradition des protest songs, raconte l'histoire d'un petit garçon noir dans l'Amérique raciste et ségrégationniste des années 1930. L'avion enclenche sa descente sur Paris et Woody disparaît. Rose ne se souvient que de quelques bribes de l'histoire de Martin. Mais elle ne pense plus qu'à ça.
