Nancy Drew

Previously on Nancy Drew...

I got the toxicology back on Tiffany.

She didn't die of natural causes.

She was poisoned.

Lucy Sable disappeared after the celebration,

never seen again.

What's the dress of girl who was murdered

20 years ago doing in my attic?

Lucy knew Hudson family secrets in the past,

and the Hudsons called in their favorite lawyer

to come and clean up the mess.

I didn't kill anyone!

I have reason to suspect you!

Karen found it in plain sight.

You had quite the list of evidence against me.

Carson Drew, you're under arrest for the murder of Lucy Sable.

Miss Drew, when did you first come to believe

your father was responsible for the murder of Lucy Sable?

You wrote: the Hudsons paid Carson $50,000

two days after Lucy Sable's death.

Did the Hudsons pay your father to kill Lucy Sable?

Can we call it a day?

Nancy, you need to take this seriously.

Okay? You're gonna be subpoenaed to testify against your father

at his evidentiary hearing soon.

And his trial after that.

Look, I know you're worried about your dad,

but, I mean, we've got a...

He's been in jail for two weeks, and it's all my fault.

He didn't kill Lucy. My theory was all wrong.

Okay, so if you're convinced he's innocent,

then help me get him out.

Carson's not explaining any of the evidence against him.

Do you know why?

No.

He misses you.

He said he calls during his phone privileges twice a day,

but you never pick up.

Well, he shouldn't miss me. He should hate me.

I put him there.

- He's not capable of hating you. - _

He's worried you're not eating.

Well, tell him not to worry.

Maybe you could tell him yourself.

Hmm.

My grandmother used to hang those around her house.

Ghost traps?

Are you trying to catch a ghost?

Something like that.

Hey, did you text Nancy to remind her to bring flowers?

What, and add another thing to her plate?

No thanks. You do it.

Hey, how is she?

She shows up for work, and then she leaves.

You can't blame her.

Sometimes you just got to be alone.

I mean, she's not completely alone.

She talks to my mom.

About how to find a missing ghost.

I know Nancy thinks Simon flung Dead Lucy

to the furthest depths of the spirit world,

but what if Lucy went MIA

because they arrested the man who murdered her,

and she's finally at peace?

That's your barometer for innocence?

- Yeah. - Ghost sightings, or lack of them?

Hey, Mr. Drew's fingerprints were on a bloody knife

at the crime scene.

I seriously hope you don't end up on a jury.

- Oh, wait. - Oh.

- Okay. - Oh.

Surprise!

Nancy.

Ew.

- Ah. - What is all this?

It's Ace's first day back at work. No,

but it's so fine. It's so fine that you didn't remember that.

Or the flowers.

I'm the worst.

No, Nancy.

You're not. It's fine.

- Right, guys? It's fine. So fine. - Yeah. Yeah.

- So fine. - Yeah.

- Super fine. You're fine. - No, it's-it's fine.

- It's okay. - It's fine.

Okay.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

How are you?

Everybody asks me that.

Y'all put my face on a cake?

- Surprise! - Surprise!

- Surprise. - Oh!

- Oh. Hi. - Hi.

What's up, man? Hey.

Hey.

- Hey. - All right, let's eat this cake

and clean it up. We open in five.

Hey.

Glad you're alive.

Did you miss me?

I absolutely did not.

Hi.

- I'm really sorry. I'm... - No.

I'm sorry, and...

How-how are you?

Um, I have to take this.

Hey.

I've got a name for you.

Actaea pachypoda.

It's what killed Tiffany Hudson. Uh...

Also known as white baneberry poison.

Uh, creating the poison from the berries is incredibly difficult.

Detecting it is even harder.

Oh, well, good thing I know a genius, right?

Most coroners wouldn't even screen for this toxin

because it mimics a death by cardiac event.

They would just rule it natural causes without a second thought.

I-I thought you'd be thrilled by this.

It's a new lead for you.

Uh, it's just,

every time I dig into a case, I hurt everybody around me.

So, just...

trying to figure out what I should do.

Check it out.

It has been two weeks.

And I thought that this would have calmed down by now.

It will... eventually.

Look, can you just endure one more shift?

We're two months behind on bills, and this uptick

- in business could really, really help us. - George.

Please?

Oh, come on. You have your own fan site.

@NancyDrewsNews. It gets, like, a bazillion likes a day.

Okay. I'm sorry.

- Go organize the pantry. - Thank you.

Yeah.

Nancy. Hi.

Hey. Uh, I-I owe you a call back.

- Things have just been crazy. - No. I know. I get it.

- I just came by to see how you... - George is gonna kill me

if I don't... if I don't go back to work.

Let's talk later.

Hey, Bess, you have a minute?

Hey.

Did you get the DNA results back?

- We're first cousins. - Oh!

You're officially a Marvin.

Oh, snap.

Oh, my God. Do we hug?

- Sure. - Shake hands?

Oh, my God!

When do I get to meet the rest of the family?

Um, actually...

can we talk?

Uh, yeah. About what?

Um...

Okay, as family, you should know

that I obsessively worry.

What are we talking about?

It's about the burial coins from the Velvet Masque.

I need them.

Those coins are the proof that I need

to put Everett Hudson behind bars for sinking the Bonny Scot

and murdering our Uncle Sebastian.

I really, really don't want to upset you. Um...

- Hey. - The... Uh...

I destroyed the coins.

Yeah, I accidentally melted them. Long story.

But if you're going to be upset with anyone, it's my fault.

I paid a very large sum of money for those coins.

Yeah. One point five million, right?

Yeah, I heard, but that's, yeah...

That's a drop in the bucket for you, Owen.

I mean, why... why are you even here?

Gentlemen.

Sit down, please.

Let's talk. Okay?

You both share the same goal, right?

Take down the Hudsons.

You two should talk.

Share information.

Oh!

Have some cake.

Okay? Work together.

Okay?

Okay, come on, Drew.

A quick search is not gonna get anyone hurt.

_

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Why are you looking at a picture of my dad?

Hey, you know, what-what if we just told the cops?

Your dad worked on a case in 2003

that had the same poison that killed Tiffany.

You stole Tiffany's blood to get these test results.

Think admitting to that right before your arraignment's

less than advisable.

Now, before you meet the Captain...
