While the Beatles were on stage with the Wiggles, Constantine and Dominic stole a painting of Colonel Thomas Blood.

And all the while, Violetta was awkwardly chatting with Calvin, Meg and Charles Wallace backstage.

The fact that she was so uncomfortable with them left Calvin more and more suspicious.

"This is not how Sam usually acts. She's usually excited and happy and energetic like her brother. But now she's uncomfortable and kinda awkward. Even around her friends. Is this really Sam?" Calvin thought.

After the show, the reviews said that the two bands won five stars from the critics.

"Very good, young Violetta. They didn't suspect a thing" said Constantine.

"But I really like them. I really don't think we should be doing this" said Violetta.

"Violetta. The Pan girl is in prison already. You still need to take her place" said Constantine.

"Why can't I just tell them the truth?" said Violetta.

"You really have not met those kids. They can find anything out. You keep this a secret" said Constantine.

That night, on the train, Dominic opened the painting and a map was on the back.

"This map, along with Blood's key and locket is the only way to get to the Crown Jewels" he said.

"Good work, Number Two. What does it say about location of Blood's key?" said Constantine.

Dominic continued to read the map which was hard to make out until it came to the word "Madrid". 

Meanwhile, the police car that had the real Sam had just arrived at the gulag.

"You've got the wrong girl!" Sam pleaded.

They took her in.

"It's Violetta Damien. She's back" said Prison King.

"What? I'm not Violetta. My name is Sam" Sam said.

"Violetta. Always with a joke" said Danny Trejo.

"Dear girl, since you are back, we welcome you" said Prison King.

"Uh... thank you" Sam said awkwardly.

"Wait a minute. I've known Violetta for years" said Big Papa.

"And her voice has never" added Prison King.

"Ever... sounded like that. It was always a little higher pitched" said Danny Trejo.

It's true. Sam had a lower-pitched voice than Violetta.

"Because I am not Violetta" she said.

Prison King took a good look at Sam and said "How dare you?" 

"She's not Violetta!" said Beefeater.

"Let's throw her in the recycling compactor!" said Big Papa.

The prisoners were about to throw Sam away when a prison guard named Nadya blocked their path.

"Where am I?" Sam said to her.

"The Gulag" answered Nadya.

Nadya and the prisoners sang about the gulag to Sam.

"Please, ma'am, I'm telling you. I'm not who you think I am" Sam said.

"If you are not Violetta, why do you have her hair?" said Nadya.

"This is a wig. Someone glued it to my head" Sam said.

"As far as authorities are concerned, you are Violetta. Wig or no wig. You're going to be here a while" said Nadya.

"I wouldn't be so sure. My friends will be here soon" Sam said.

Sam believes her friends will save her but she doesn't know what's happening.

Do you think she'll find out?

Peace and love,

Sammy
