So I missed another day two days ago yesterday - I had a flute lesson. I am now two episodes behind, and I missed the first ten minutes of this episode as well.
So yesterday's episode started off extremely odd. It opens on Patricia and some weird guy who claimed to be a Private Investigator interested in the whole Joy thing having a conversation, in which Patricia gets freaked out and says she's going to scream, he gently places a business card on the ground, and there is some sincerely awkward, forced dialogue that takes place.
In the course of those two episodes I missed Amber seems to have been brought into the fold of People Who Know Stuff, and now Mick gets all jealous and demands to see more of her (oh, that's going to end well...) Also, it seems as though Patricia has told the new (attractive) English teacher about her suspicions and got him to develop a roll of film containing the real school photo that had been replaced earlier in the series. He decides to confront the principal about all this, which is never, ever a good idea. You never confront the obviously evil dude without massive back-up.
We now cut to Amber, Nina, and What's-his-face, who are using actual technology to solve issues! Hooray for use of modern, teen-accessible technology!
Of course, Alfie and Jerome, being the obnoxious little turds they are, messed with the recording they had of some little girl (Sara?), who is talking about some bad man, and her dead parents, etc., etc.
Amber forgets that she and Mick had planned to eat lunch together, and he breaks up with her, to the obvious pleasure of Mara, who may not be the nice little smart girl I thought she was.
Attractive teacher is REALLY attractive, and shows up at the house to confront Victor. He is subsequently turned evil, which DUH, how Patricia didn't see that coming is a mystery to me.
What follows is Prospective Parents Day. Things are awkward between both Mick and Amber, and Mick and Mara, who he seems to be mad at for some sort of cheating scandal that happened. There's a scene in there as well that makes it seem like all the teachers are watching Patricia, which is actually creepy, a first for this show. Jerome and Alfie set off a smoke bomb in order to look impressive, and predictably fuck it up.
Meanwhile, Nina and Fabian are helping Nice Housekeeper in baking cakes. There's a quick mention in there about how one oven is stuck shut, and I immediately think: CLUE!
It is not to be however, as it turns out the clue involves a glass chandelier, and when the sun shines through it, there's this weird green glowing thing, and Nina manages to open a magic hiding place with her locket. That locket is like a magical key to everything in this house, I swear. She gets some sort of weird lamp/candlestick thing out of it.
At the end of the episode, Amber, Nina, and Fabian are shocked to discover that the "evil man" from the recirding is VICTOR. DUN DUN DUN.
(So Victor is for sure killing people in order to make a youth serum thing.)
Today's episode involved more clue gathering on Nina, Fabian, and Amber's part, as well as some...unauthorized snooping? Or maybe Amber told Nina that Patricia looked at her diary? Something along those lines. That's the opening. There was also a scene in which the Secret Evil Coven of Teachers initiated the new English teacher. DUN DUN DUN.
Fabian, Amber, and Nina (FAN from now on) FINALLY figure out the whole fireplace thing (old, unopenable oven = fireplace from riddle #120354782); meanwhile, Patricia meets with the P.I., who tells her to bring Nina to him because the necklace is somehow connected to Joy's disappearance.
Patricia makes nice with Amber and Nina, and asks to speak with Nina...ALONE. DUN DUN DUN.
FAN investigate the fireplace further that night, going down some steps and finding a SEKRIT LABORATORY. Thry find the next clue - on the inside of a ring - when suddenly someone comes down the stairs, so they all quick hide in a cupboard and watch as Victor drinks something from a test tube (I KNEW IT! HA!)
