Blackadder is ordered to make a live-action play to boost the men's morale, but he didn't have a girl to perform a drag-act, so Blackadder gave a disguise to Lieutenant George. After the first play General Melchett fell deeply in love with Georgina and asks Blackadder if it ok to take Georgina to the ball on the same evening. So Georgina went to the ball with General Melchett after Blackadder told him that "Georgina" will not speak because she is saving her voice for the next play in London.
