Brave-ish Heart was the fifth episode of Class. It was written by Patrick Ness, directed by Philippa Langdale and followed on from the cliffhanger ending of Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart.

Synopsis[[edit] | [edit source]]

Battling through the Shadow Kin realm, April knows that there is no going back: she has to defeat Corakinus.

On Earth, the invasion of the petals in rapidly snowballing. Confronted with the threat of the planet's extinction, new headmistress Dorothea attempts to force Charlie into making a transformation decision. But Miss Quill has other ideas for him.

As Charlie, Matteusz and Tanya try to stop the petals from annihilating the human race, April must fight the terrifying force of Corakinus, light years away from home.

Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]

Real world[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Ames mentions governments and their habits of tripping over themselves in their selfish concerns about rights.
  • Huw MacLean, upon hearing about aliens and other worlds, is convinced he must be having a mushroom flashback.
  • Ram mentions that footballers usually act without thinking.
  • Corakinus moans at the behaviour of teenagers upon seeing Ram and April kiss.
  • Ames says that there are still men who won't listen to a woman smarter than them.

Coal Hill Academy[[edit] | [edit source]]

Individuals[[edit] | [edit source]]

Species[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Matteusz says that Venus flytraps ingest living matter, but makes the claim that, unlike the killer petals, they don't have souls, though Ames hints to the contrary.
  • Corakinus refers to April as a maggot, which April calls Corakinus in return.
  • The killer petals can't be hurt in any way, according to Dorothea Ames. However, Matteusz works out that the Shadow Kin can defeat them, leading this to be their solution.

Popular culture[[edit] | [edit source]]

Religion[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • In Shadow Kin religion, they believe that the universe will crush them if they do not defeat it all.
  • Sikhs are normally obligated to grow their hair out long in a practice called Kesh, and wear turbans, as Ram's father Varun does, but Ram himself keeps his hair short, noting, "it's modern times; gotta look sharp." He also quips, "Have you ever tried going through airport security in a turban?"
  • Ram still has a kangha that his father gave him, and wears a kara on his wrist.
  • Ram says that where he came from, they believe that doing good deeds is a safe-way to get to God.

Story notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • The title of this story is a parody of the movie "Braveheart". Coincidentally, the term "brave heart" was also a phrase that was often used by the Fifth Doctor.
