Stephanie tests her theory that The Three Musketeers is better suited to film, by forcing Nicole to watch the 1993 version. It is possible that this has not aged well.

Nicole reads teenage-Stephanie’s favourite book and is outraged about the false advertising of the ‘three’ musketeers, while Stephanie side-eyes her teenage-self’s taste.
