Dismissed for teaching "The Destructors", Karen Pomeroy tells Donnie the most beautiful phrase in the English language. Cherita Chen performs at the talent show; Sparkle Motion wins.
Who is there
In Sparrow's terms
- Cellar Door
- The phrase Ms Pomeroy calls the most beautiful in the English language - and the door Donnie enters to find Gretchen at Grandma Death’s house on the final night.
- The Destructors
- The 1954 Graham Greene short story Ms Pomeroy teaches, in which boys demolish a house and flood it. Donnie floods the school days later; Pomeroy is fired for teaching it.
- Sparkle Motion
- Samantha Darko's dance troupe, coached by Kitty Farmer. Their trip to Star Search in Los Angeles puts Rose and Samantha on the plane whose engine becomes the Artifact.
