We Are the Brontë Sisters is the second segment of the 11th episode in Season 1 of Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum.
Synopsis[]
Brad is hard at work on his latest comic book, when he comes up against a really big problem: he can’t think of an ending to his story! Unable to generate any ideas his usual way, there’s only one thing left to do… To the Secret Museum! Our heroes are sent back in time to meet three expert story-telling sisters: Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte. We find the girls in the midst of acting out their own made-up story, coming up with ideas as they go along. Xavier and Yadina are immediately pulled into their pretend play, while Brad is much more hesitant to join. But the story is so fun that Brad finds himself getting swept up in the moment, his writer’s block disappearing as he discovers that there are many ways to come up with story ideas.

Trivia[]
- This is the second episode to focus on more than one person, and to start with "We Are" instead of "I Am".
- When the trio are heading to the Secret Museum, you can see a kid with two moms in the background. They are probably the first LGBT characters on the show?
- In the ending sequence, Brad's bike skids similar to the famous scene in the Japanese anime movie AKIRA (1988).
