To raise awareness of local squirrels' cavity problems, Sam wants to gather as many people as possible for a demonstration, a 'perch-in' in the trees in front of the town hall. She asks the Sceptre for the power to be super-persuasive, but the power works in reverse and Sam is only persuasive when she turns her back - when she faces people, no-one pays any attention to her! She and Mo end up having to work together, all while having a flock of followers at their backs.

Sam has an insanely busy schedule - between her WWID mission to rehabilitate cockroaches, the Robotics Competition she and her dad have enrolled in, her promise to Miss Rosie to take Olive out walking, her homework and Hammy - who requires constant attention - she just can't cope! Stella offers to help, but Sam turns her down as she knows that Stella won't do things exactly her way - if only Sam could replicate herself and do several different things at the same time.
