Pirjo dismembers and assaults her mannequin
Pirjo is seemingly unfamiliar with the definition of ‘epic’, as she first looks it up on her phone. This search provides her with a list of synonyms such as ‘enormous’, ‘colossal’, ‘great’, ‘Earth-shattering’, ‘magnificent’, and ‘fantastic’.
Pirjo decides to focus on the ‘Earth-shattering’ synonym, beginning by dragging the mannequin into the nearby toilet, and shoving its head into the toilet bowl.
She then detaches the mannequin’s head and torso, to make it easier for her to carry, and takes it into the kitchen. She first shoves the head into the microwave, before squirting some whipped cream onto the head, claiming that she is a hairdresser and is giving the mannequin a new hairstyle.
Pirjo then takes the mannequin outside into the rain, where she throws it into a wheelbarrow to transport it to the playhouse. However, they don’t spend long inside, as Pirjo throws the mannequin out of one of the playhouse windows, before then throwing it into the nearby forest.
At this point in the footage of her attempt, a clearly-embarrassed Pirjo in the studio exclaims that she couldn’t think of anything to do. She offers no explanation as to why she had chosen to throw the mannequin around for her entire time.
The rest of the footage of Pirjo’s attempt shows her throwing the mannequin into various trees and bushes around the property, and attempting to bury it in the sandbox, before returning to the house and using a branch to whip the mannequin’s back.
In the studio, Jaakko says that Pirjo’s attempt would have been excellent if the task had actually been to force the mannequin to talk. Joonas says that Pirjo’s actions had reminded him of when police records are read aloud in courtroom settings (“After she removed the victim’s head from the microwave, she attempted to drown her with sand”). Jaakko tells Pirjo that if her attempt really is her understanding of an epic adventure, that she should never have another travelling companion.
Jaakko ultimately awards everyone joint first place.
