Jack Frost's Poem[]
The Confidence Fairy is stylish and cool,
But soon she is going to feel like a fool.
Her garland, her poise purse, her cool coronet,
I'll steal them all swiftly and make her upset.
When I have her magic, the humans will kneel.
I'll crush their confidence under my heel.
Without self-belief they will cower and flee,
And beg for a king who will rule them - that's me!

The Belief Badge[]
Rachel and Kirsty are sitting in a tree in The Spinney when Rachel jumps down and gets a splinter. A group of children, Sully, Luca and Flora, offer her a first aid kit and they all become friends. Sully, Luca and Flora explain they're sad because their Confidence Club clubhouse is going to be shut down if they can't raise enough money to outbid a potential buyer.
Rachel and Kirsty suggest they hold a fundraiser and leave the others to organise the party while they visit the owner to ask for more time. On their way, they meet Harper the Confidence Fairy.
She explains she has Down's syndrome, which gives her the gift of trusting people. Unfortunately, she trusted Jack Frost when he asked to see her magic objects and stole them instead. She turns Rachel and Kirsty into fairies and they go to Jack Frost's Ice Castle and witness him giving Harper's objects to three Goblins who they met on Maryam the Nurse Fairy's adventure. The fairies overhear where the goblins are planning to hide the objects, with a forest faun, a dragon and the last living sphinx.
Harper knows where the sphinx lives, so she transports them to a cave in a desert. There sits the sphinx, who says it will only give the badge to whoever answers its riddle correctly first. The goblin catches up with them and demands the sphinx gives him the badge.
The sphinx says its riddle, "I went to the forest and got it. I could feel it but I couldn't find it, so I carried it home with me. What was it?" The goblin can't solve it and Rachel says a splinter, the correct answer. The sphinx gives the badge to the fairies and Harper magics the girls back to Tippington.
The Cool Coronet[]
The girls materialise outside of the office where the clubhouse owner, Ian Elliot, works. They go in to ask if he could hold off the auction a little longer so the Confidence Club can raise enough money. He is in disbelief at whether the club can raise that much money, but the girls reaffirm their confidence in them. He agrees to wait until midnight.
Rachel and Kirsty ride their bikes back to the clubhouse where the 3 children have been spreading the news of the fundraiser and decorating the clubhouse. However, they are indecisive of where to put everything. The girls decide they need to find the Coronet as soon as possible, so they use their Lockets to go to Fairyland.
They arrive outside the Confidence Lab where Eleanor the Snow White Fairy greets them and says she's having trouble making her magic mirrors. Amelia the Singing Fairy, Ivy the Worry Fairy, Clare the Caring Fairy, Phoebe the Fashion Fairy and Florence the Friendship Fairy are also there, having trouble with their magic spells. They find Harper and explain the trouble they're having at the clubhouse. Eleanor says she knows where the faun lives because Snow White knows him.
She magics them up a map that will lead them to him and Harper transports Rachel and Kirsty to a forest. They fly for a long time. Harper becomes tired and befriends a badger called Arnold. They continue flying until the path splits in two and the map disintegrates. Arnold leads them to a glade, where a goblin is dancing to the faun's flute-playing.
The fairies ask the faun to give them the coronet. He says he will if they can copy his dance exactly. Rachel and Kirsty attempt it, but they mess it up. Harper steps forward because learning dance routines is her favourite thing and she completes the faun's dance perfectly. The faun gives them the Coronet and the goblin bursts into a tantrum. Harper sends the girls back to Tippington where they finish decorating the clubhouse.
The Poise Purse[]
As people start arriving to the fundraising party, the girls become self-conscious about the sand and grass on their clothes from their previous adventures, so they decide to go home and change. However, they can't decide what to wear. An inspirational message appears on Rachel's mirror and the girls are sucked into it, ending up on a path by the glowing Fire Mountains.
Harper is also there. They all fly up the mountain and come across the goblin, who tries to scare them off by saying how scary the dragon is. The fairies decide to sing marching songs to build their confidence as they head up the mountain.
They finally reach the dragon's lair, where it breathes fire at them and tries to scare them away. Rachel and Kirsty plead with it, but Harper realises it might not be able to hear. She approaches the dragon and converses with it in Makaton. She says the dragon says she's only bad-tempered because she's lonely and only wants to make friends with the goblins and didn't understand why they were scared of her. Harper promises her she will teach the goblins Makaton. Just as the dragon is about to hand over Harper's purse, Jack Frost appears and snatches it.
Rachel and Kirsty ask why he always has to be so mean, but Harper disapproves with that. She tells Jack Frost she understands he only took her things because he himself lacks confidence and she forgives him. He instead runs away with the purse, but the dragon stops him. Harper has a special gift for him if he would give her purse back. After checking inside to see there's nothing there, he gives it back to her and she sticks her arm all the way in, taking out an ice bolt hair clip that will help boost his confidence. He grudgingly thanks her and leaves.
Harper thanks the girls for their help and asks if they want her to send them back to Rachel's bedroom. The girls decide they will be confident in their dirty clothes, so Harper magics them back to the clubhouse. The fundraiser is going very well and even the clubhouse owner is impressed. He is so impressed, in fact, that he decides to accept any money they raise as payment. Everyone's happy and Kirsty tells Rachel whatever Jack Frost does won't shake her confidence in their friendship.
