Written by Greg Haddrick
Directed by John Banas

We meet 14-year-old Wellington schoolgirl, Jo Tiegan. Jo's mother, Catherine Guthrie, is principal of Jo's school, which causes friction because Jo believes her mother is too tough on her. Jo and her friends Tama, Mia and Jesse are involved in an archaeological dig at their school. Jo's enemy, Jade Coigley, is there too. Jo visits an antique shop where she is given a mirror by the owner, the Old Man. When she takes it home and looks into it, she is able to see into the past — to 1919! It's the same room as her own, but she sees a girl the same age as herself who is dressed in the clothes of the time. Jo finds she can not only see through the mirror, but can also "walk" through to 1919, where she meets the girl, Louisa Iredale. Meanwhile, Mia and Jesse are badly injured by toxic waste from a drum which has mysteriously appeared on the dig site and which is dated 1919. Is it just a coincidence, or are there sinister connections to Jo's mirror?

Louisa comes through the mirror to 1995 to comfort Jo who is upset about her friends' accident and is fascinated by the things she sees in Jo's room. Jo is convinced that if she can go back in time, she can prevent the toxic waste being dropped and so prevent the accident. When Tama unsuccessfully tries to follow Jo through the mirror, he knocks it out of alignment, trapping Jo in 1919. As Jo, Louisa and her younger brother Titus search for the drum in 1919, they are caught by Sir Ivor Creevy-Thorne, who refuses to listen to their wild stories about toxic waste.

Sir Ivor has Nicholas brought to his study where he drops Nicholas' family ring, the only means of proving his identity, into the drum of toxic waste to keep it 'safe'. Nicholas overhears Salisbury telling Sir Ivor that he'll move the drum out on a train the next morning. Jo is happy to see the drum moved as it will mean her friends won't get exposed in the future but Nicholas needs to retrieve his ring from within the cannister.

Conflicted, Jo returns to 1919 the next morning and sneaks into Sir Ivor's cellar to retrieve the cannister.
