Τοποθεσία Λονδίνο, Αγγλία
Τι το ιδιαίτερο έχει άραγε μία νεαρή δημοσιογράφος της σειράς με συστάσεις από τον αρχιεπίσκοπο ώστε να επιτελεί το έργο της υπουργικής συμβούλου; Ίσως να είναι οι συμμετοχές της σε διαγωνισμούς έκθεσης και ζωγραφικής κατά τα σχολικά της χρόνια, ίσως και η παρουσία της ως δημοτική σύμβουλος στην εκλογική περιφέρεια της κ.Κάλερ-Χριστοφιλοπούλου. Πάντως σίγουρα δεν είναι η γνώση των εκπαιδευτικών θεμάτων, με τα οποία μάλλον μικρή σχέση έχει.
