Rosie doesn’t understand liquids


Rosie quickly spots the little pots of UHT milk in the cage next to Alex, and starts adding them to the can. When Alex asks her what she feels about milk, she claims that she hates it.
She then finds the toiletry bag behind the decorative plate behind Alex, and adds the extractable liquids from within it to the can.
Rosie then looks inside the ‘freezer’ and finds the chunk of ice, which she presumably adds to the can.
She then finds the red ribbon coming through the window in the toilet and pulls on it, tipping the first cup of decking cleaner into the guttering system. However, since she has not looked outside the caravan, she doesn’t know where the cleaner ends up, so it all just drains out onto the decking. Only then does she look outside and realise how the system is meant to work, though she doesn’t understand that she’s already missed her chance, placing her tin on its side at the end of the guttering (presumably losing some of the liquid she has already collected).
Rosie then pulls the ribbon again, triggering the release of the second cup of decking cleaner from the roof of the caravan, which drips down from the top of the door, onto the decking.
With just 25 seconds remaining, she spots the glass full of ‘breakfast drink’ on the plinth at the back of the caravan. She grabs the length of guttering from the front of the caravan, and tries to use it to knock the bottom of the glass so that it will tip forward, spilling its contents along the gutter. However, she succeeds only in shunting the glass off the edge of the plinth, spilling it all on the ground as Alex blows his whistle.
In the studio, Greg questions whether Rosie understands how liquids work. When Rosie admits that she thought the decking cleaner would flow into the horizontal can and just stay there, Greg says “It’s fine. I’m just… at the moment I’m just gathering information, so I understand”.
Alex reveals that Rosie had managed to collect six ducks' worth of liquid in her can, which earns her 2 points.
