Erik was watching the show intently, as his mother shouted up the stairs to him.
"It's time to go, Erik! We have to get you to your new school."
New school. Right. School? Military academy. Boot camp was more like it.
"I'll be right down, mom - I'm just watching the final episode from the DVD series you got me for my birthday, since I won't be able to watch it at school. It's the last one - and he has to get out this time!"
"Right now, young man! This is exactly why we're sending you to this place - you won't do as you're told. Come down NOW."

As they drove away, Number Six was recaptured and returned to the Village.
