Peter Chow from Brighton (UK) adds:
I've put in a couple of corrections above and during the song Lindsey says

"It's really happening to ya!" and then in the dialogue at the end he says
"She tricked ya y'know?" and then goes into some spiel about singing back
the symbols.

These two lines of his are heavily repeated in the Shoedance mix of the 
single.

In fact the line "She tricked ya y'know?" is the key to Mirranda's behaviour.
All the stuff about the fire and her hands is a deceit to make Kate write
out the symbols that will release Mirranda from the spell that binds the 
shoes to her feet. By writing out the symbols and giving them to the
victim the spell is transferred.
