Private Eyes West Coast (2026) s01e02 Episode Script
Shroom With a View
1
Hey, buddy. Here you go, honey.
Thank you.
We're gonna need some office supplies.
I'm gonna end up pulling my neck.
Uh
Or I could do that.
What, did we get a case? Let me guess
PTA crime ring?
Nope. "Caregiver Mafia".
They control the city's bake-sale trade.
Ooh. They say sugar kills huh.
Prospective nannies?
Yes!
We got some new bites on our ad,
and not a minute too soon,
because Mommy and Daddy
are going back into the P.I. business.
Yeah, that's right!
I'm gonna keep talking to you like an adult,
even though you don't know what Mommy's saying.
All right, which one screams,
"Live-in Mary Poppins available
for unpredictable hours"?
I'm not entirely sold on this "live-in" thing.
I thought the guest house
was gonna be my man cave.
Honey, men in healthy relationships
don't need man caves,
just like I don't need a she-shed.
Although mm.
What?
He does that every time.
You blocking shots already?
Kid's gonna be a hell of a goalie.
Come here, buddy.
Hmm. Okay, let's, uh
lose the Babysitter's Club.
And these two definitely have something to hide.
I don't know why you'd frown in a nanny headshot,
and I don't wanna find out.
That leaves us with three candidates.
I'll make some appointments
for nanny interviews later today.
Today? What's the rush?
We don't have a police contact yet
or any contacts.
It might be a while before we get our first case.
Raine? What are you doing here?
I've got a case for you.
Wait.
How do you know where I live?
He means "come in."
How old are you gonna be when he graduates?
I'm younger than Clooney!
Have a seat.
How can we help you?
Uh, my friend well, roommate, Mayette
left in the middle of the night to go for a hike
in Copperstream Park.
She hasn't come back, and she hasn't responded
to any of my texts.
Maybe she turned her phone off,
or her battery died?
The three of us had a stats exam at 10 A.M.,
the one pre-req we all have in common,
and she didn't show.
She's been studying for weeks.
No way she'd miss that.
Right.
Have you guys been to see university admin?
They noted it,
but, because she's 18,
Mayette didn't meet the "criteria for concern,"
at this point.
Well, she could be lost or injured.
Show them the note.
Someone slipped this under our door last night.
She tell you who it's from?
Well, we don't really talk
but when she didn't come back this morning,
I took it out of the trash and I read it.
So you're not close.
We were at first rush week was amazing,
but as soon as classes started,
she changed.
Wouldn't come out.
Complained my music was too loud.
Who studies on a Friday night?
That's, like, offensive.
Do you have any idea who could've sent the note?
No. I-I can't imagine
Mayette having beef with anyone.
But, when she's stressed,
she likes to be alone in nature,
so maybe she was, because she left.
So this is all on me,
'cause if I had just been a better roommate
Don't do that.
This is what P.I.s do find people.
We'll find her.
I'm sorry, "we"?
Please? Will you help?
If Jules was missing,
you'd want someone looking into it right away.
Yeah.
We'll take your case.
We're gonna start
by going to the last place Mayette was.
Does he make that sound all day?
- Yeah.
- Most of the day, yeah.
Lauren and Mayette seem like oil and water.
Maybe opposites don't always attract.
Boy, we lucked out.
What?
I mean, we have our differences,
but we're not that different.
We're both smart, driven, funny.
One of us a little more than the other.
Thank you for finally acknowledging
I'm funnier than you.
Honey, come on!
We are classic yin and yang.
Do you remember when you first moved in?
Okay, there was a bit of an adjustment period,
but we didn't have
a party girl-versus-bookworm imbalance.
Well, sorry for not getting why
a kitchen needs three cheese graters!
That's because they each do different things.
Oh, and dare I leave even one item of clothing
on the armchair.
It was a laundry mountain!
We were one dirty sock away
from starring in an episode of Hoarders.
Well, it's official.
We have a West Coast kid.
He's asleep.
You know, this could just be
a case of students being students.
When I was 18,
I used to disappear for weekends at a time.
This one guy from Montreal, Jean-Paul
As much as Dex and I are dying
to hear about your exploits
thankfully, there's a park ranger.
Hi there!
Yes, reception is spotty in the park.
It's better up the hill, or if
you just hold it up like that
No-no-no. We're looking for a hiker.
Have you seen her?
Oh. Yeah. I-I got a call about her this morning.
I already told the police I saw them leave.
Hold on you saw "them" leave?
Yeah. She came out of the woods,
there was a guy waiting for her.
He took her to his car.
"Took"? Can you describe the guy?
Plaid shirt, cargo pants
Blundstone boots?
Did it look like they knew each other?
I don't know.
They got in his car and they took off.
Look, I'm sorry,
I gotta go deal with a black bear sighting, so
good luck.
Lauren said Mayette hiked alone,
so who's this guy waiting for her?
And where did he take her?
I see you
And you see me
Watch you blowing the lines
When you're making a scene
Oh, boy
You've got to know
What my head overlooks
The senses will show to my heart ♪
When it's watching for lies
'Cause you can't escape my ♪
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you watching you ♪
Watching you watching you ♪
"Talk and you're dead."
Sounds like maybe Mayette didn't respect
the sock-on-the-door rule?
The roommate said the note really scared her.
Okay, to recap
an 18-year-old away from home
blows off school with a boy
and has been missing for
six hours?
She didn't "blow off school with a boy".
There was a man waiting for her
in the parking lot.
He took her to his car and drove away.
Did you get a licence plate?
Make, model?
He was wearing Blundstones.
Half of BC wears Blundstones.
Apparently, this is extremely
out of character for Mayette.
Hiking in the woods?
No, she does that all the time.
Sorry, we're in the middle
of trying to find a nanny.
You know how hard that can be.
I do not.
If Mayette hits the 24-hour mark,
let me know.
Otherwise, please take
your circus out of my office.
"Circus"?
Our handsome little boo?
Ugh. Lauren says
Mayette's still not responding to texts or calls.
Oh, we need to dig into Mayette's world,
starting at the university.
Dex is a little young for a campus tour.
I know you're not gonna like it
N-No!
He tries on my clothes when we're not there.
He's all we've got for help right now.
What was so important it couldn't wait
until after my rescue mission?
- What "rescue"?
- Why are you so wet?
I was foraging for lost golf balls.
Hey, do you have anything dry I can change into?
Can you babysit for a day or two?
Just until we hire a nanny.
I'm helping crew a boat coming up from San Diego,
starting Friday.
- So you've been saying all week.
Man doesn't belong on land!
And yet, no fins.
I know you're committed to that,
but we're on a case.
It's a missing student.
And our nanny interviews start in an hour.
If you could just narrow down our options
Root out the duds for you?
Yeah, got it.
I have the ultimate nanny question.
"How do you treat a burn?"
I got this!
Any idea who this guy could be?
I don't know.
She hasn't talked to me about guys before.
This is on me.
That's the second time you've said that.
What aren't you telling us?
A few nights ago, I made things worse.
What happened?
Mayette was studying for a stats exam.
I guess my music was too loud.
She complained,
so I texted my mom to vent,
but I sent the text to Mayette by accident.
"Ugh. My roommate is the place
where fun goes to die."
Ouch.
We haven't talked since.
Do you mind if we look around?
Maybe we can find something
to identify this mystery man.
Sure, yeah.
Mayette's into philosophy?
Oh!
Thought she was into puppies.
Hey
she dropped Philosophy 101 last week.
Why bail on a class so late in the term?
And a class that she liked.
Maybe Raine can get into this.
Yeah. We can drop it off to her
on the way to class.
I'm sorry, "class"?
So who do we think talks to Mayette?
She is a keener.
So, front-row student?
Ahem.
Hey do you, by any chance, know Mayette?
We're from the scholarship board.
You're evaluating Mayette for a scholarship?
Here? In person?
Well, she applied for a very prestigious prize.
We need to see her in person,
see if she's deserving.
Bethany Adams.
I have a 4.0 average,
I'm student council treasurer,
and my middle name just happens to be "Honour".
Please tell me the scholarship
window isn't closed?
What's the application URL?
- Um
- Okay, let's get started.
I hope everybody did the assigned reading.
Plaid shirt, cargo pants, Blundstones.
I'm sorry, are you two enrolled in my class?
Oh, um, we're from the scholarship board.
Yeah, we don't have a scholarship board.
Yet.
We're just auditing.
Well, this class doesn't accept auditors.
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
Unlike Sartre's play,
there is an exit, and it's over there. Yes.
I think we just lost our keener.
Well
guess we try our luck with the stoners.
He didn't wanna be institutionalized.
You gotta respect that.
Yes, I do understand
the hypocrisy of me saying this
as an aspiring university professor
who hopes to one day
Hey, do you guys know a student in this class
named Mayette?
My mother told me not to talk to strangers.
That's too bad.
These are different times
Oh, that chick.
Yeah.
She's the one that got
in that major beef with the T.A.
In the '60s,
being an intellectual was sexy.
I mean, I don't have a fighting chance
in this day and age, as a philosopher,
of becoming rich and/or famous.
Philosophy just takes time.
How involved are the grandparents?
Unfortunately, they've all passed. Why?
I don't like to be undermined.
I will make a note of that.
Tell me a bit about your childcare philosophy.
I try never to use the word "no".
No screen time, no sugar, no direct sunlight.
No joke
you run a tight ship.
- No jokes either.
I guess my childcare philosophy
is, like
"the more, the merrier."
As in, "it takes a village"?
More like, if my boyfriend came over,
then the two of us could watch Declan!
Huh.
What's the Wi-Fi password?
"NoBoyfriends." All one word.
What is your discipline style?
Harsh.
Well you don't discipline a child under one.
Dex isn't eating lunch. What do you do?
I would make myself
a peanut butter-jelly sandwich.
Everyone loves that.
He only has two teeth.
Peanut butter on a spoon?
Why did you become a nanny?
I love children. They're so full of wonder!
Next-level wonder, am I right?
Kids are too soft these days.
I don't drive so I can't do DoorDash.
My boyfriend says retail isn't for me,
so that's why I'm a nanny.
Oh
all right.
And, finally, the most important question
how do you treat a burn?
Depends on the kind of burn.
Iron? Fire?
Hot oil? Steam?
Water? Acid?
How many lives have you lived?
Oh, my boyfriend was a lifeguard,
so I'd text him for help.
Unless he was already here.
A burn?
Oh, I'd never let the baby
be in a position to get burned.
Exactly!
Ah! The parents are gonna love you, Lila.
Hey, get anywhere with Mayette's laptop?
It's locked up tight,
but I did get into her school email.
Check this out.
Emails between Mayette
and her philosophy T.A., Isaac,
and they're not friendly.
Well, that lines up with what the stoner said.
Mm-hmm.
"It was humiliating.
I could lose my fellowship over this."
You think he wrote the threatening note?
You felt Mayette Reyes humiliated you
and was threatening your fellowship.
Is that why she dumped your class?
I don't know who you are,
but student information is private.
We're private investigators.
Mayette's missing.
Uh
Look. Uh, I was upset.
I'd invited Mayette to be
part of my thesis research.
I may have sent her work up the ladder
without fully reading it.
You "may have"?
Didn't even skim it.
I was shocked when my advisor called
and said it was written by ChatGPT.
So you were mad that
she cheated to do your cheating?
Well, she made me look bad.
Also, it's just weird
Mayette using ChatGP
was totally out of character.
Where were you this morning
between eight and ten?
Here! For, uh For office hours.
No students came by, so I caught up on marking.
Things are fine between us now.
And we're supposed to just believe you?
It's true!
She apologized for using A.I.,
said she was distracted,
and then she said she was dropping the class.
I mean, I tried to talk her out of it.
She was my star student.
She say why she was dropping your class?
Just that she didn't have a choice.
I thought she sounded paranoid.
Paranoid about what?
Look, if I knew, I'd tell you.
Hey!
Sorry, this is how I de-stress.
And go deaf.
Uh, we compared the note.
The T.A.'s handwriting doesn't match.
Still, not much of an alibi.
He said that Mayette has been
distracted and nervous lately?
Kinda, but I thought she was
just stressed about exams.
We all are.
You know if she kept a journal?
I didn't see her writing in anything.
I-I'm sorry, I've been oblivious.
It's all right.
You cared enough to ask us for help.
What was that?
It's been glitching all week.
Best app I ever paid for.
She was right to be paranoid.
How's my little angel?
I'm great, thanks for asking.
Where are you two?
Lila's references checked out,
but I wanted to see her in action.
Are you spying on her?
Will, tell me you're not hiding in the bushes.
Of course I'm not hiding in the bushes.
Uh-oh.
Did she make you?
Worse! She answered her phone.
Oh, she is so fired.
You can't fire someone you never hired.
Oh, wait. Who is this?
I am totally getting
"nanny in the Alps" vibes.
I'm going in.
Will, you can't poach a nanny!
He hung up.
He's definitely in poaching mode.
What about Lila?
We still have to meet
these nannies for ourselves.
Will's just excited
about poaching a potential Von Trapp,
and we're going home to Julie Andrews 2.0
and a dress made from curtains.
Anyhow.
Lauren said the plant
was left outside their door two weeks ago.
Yeah, we're in the City of Gardens.
There's no way we're tracing
that plant back to its buyer.
And the bug was probably bought online.
Unless they didn't want
to leave a credit card trail.
And, of course, it doesn't go around corners.
It's a straight line of sight.
Hey.
Check this out.
Oh
Yeah. I don't know.
Spy roleplay isn't really my thing.
But we should get some new
earpieces while we're here.
Yeah.
Excuse me.
Um, do you sell this bug here?
PL 3000. That's very popular.
Has a range of about 200 metres.
Have you sold one recently?
Maybe to someone who paid cash?
Sold one a couple weeks ago.
Perfect. Do you have CCTV?
Oh, I sure do.
And I can show you, just as soon
as you show me a warrant.
Right.
People come in here
expecting a certain amount of privacy.
Understood, but let me ask you something.
You got kids?
Three teenage girls.
Pains in my ass, but my reasons for living.
We're looking for a missing student.
Whoever bought this bug was spying on her.
We just wanna make sure
she can still be a pain in the ass to her dad.
Well, listen, my system is down,
but I remember him.
He was a young guy
20s, had a plaid shirt and
Let me guess, Blundstones?
Yeah.
Oh, and he had a sports bag
university basketball team.
Did it have a number on it?
Yeah, I think it did.
Yeah, fans can't buy those.
Only players get numbered bags.
Okay. Thank you. You've been a big help.
Thanks, man.
Um, we're gonna take some of these. Ahem.
Sure.
This!
Definitely this.
Ooh!
I'll take one of those.
Oh yeah!
Do you think we need a owl cam?
- Uh
- I don't know!
Uh
- Never know.
- Oh, sure, yeah.
Ahem.
Just throw that in there.
Baby boutique,
spy shop
is there any store your credit card doesn't like?
According to this university campus map,
if the spy's on the basketball team,
the receiving end of the bug could be at the gym.
It's only 200 metres from the dorm.
Find the creep bugging Mayette, find Mayette.
Hey, did Lauren have any idea
who this basketball player/spy might be?
No. She said that Mayette
never hung out with the jocks,
but if I was the basketball player/spy,
I'd keep the transmitter
close to me at all times.
Except during practice and games.
You'd stash it in your locker.
We could practice being basketball parents.
Dex might
- Whoa, whoa.
Whoa! He's starting with hockey.
I just found our cover.
Testing. Testing. Can you hear me?
Ugh, it smells like body spray in here.
Good, the earpiece is working.
You know, I gotta say
this look isn't a "no" for me.
I thought you didn't go for roleplay.
Oh, I'm not playin'.
Can we just
Warn me if anyone's coming.
Hey, Ozzy!
Do the move.
Come on, man.
Your signature move. Let's see it.
Well, that's not it.
Ah, you know what they say, kid
never meet your heroes.
Carmine?
You told me you were visiting
your sick aunt in Nanaimo.
Uh
You lied to me?
- No, no, no. No, no, no!
- My friends warned me about you!
You cheating
Bingo.
Oh, my gosh.
Man.
I can't believe I gave you my favourite sweater!
And my notes!
Creepy.
Hey, stop him! That's our stalker!

Where is she?
We know you've been stalking her.
I'm not stalking her!
I'm her Soul Double.
Okay, yes, I b,
but only to get to know her better.
I even took her favourite class,
but then she dropped it.
Did you send the threatening note?
Drop the act!
You clearly have a thing for Mayette,
and she didn't like you back,
so what'd you do to her?
I would never hurt Mayette!
I was just doing the assignment.
"Assignment"?
For the Soul Double Society.
It's this club for single students.
Grace helps us find the person
that you're destined to be with.
By telling you to bug their room?
She wants us to do whatever it takes.
Is this how kids flirt these days?
I don't know, I'm still processing
the word "Soul Double".
Where were you this morning
between eight and ten?
At the gym, for a team-building session.
It was mandatory.
All the evidence is in this bag.
You're turning me in?
That's what happens when you stalk someone.
Okay, thanks for confirming.
Well, Connor's alibi checked out.
So he's a creep, but not our creep.
I wonder who Mayette left the forest with.
This matchmaking club that Connor's obsessed with
has led him to some pretty bad behaviour.
Yeah. Their leader, Grace
if she's encouraging stalking,
maybe someone else from the group
took things too far?
Is that their website?
Yeah. There's a calendar with meeting times,
and then a membership hierarchy.
I mean, even the bottom tier is pretty expensive.
You know what?
Tomorrow, there's a singles pool-party meet-up.
Well, we're not gonna pass
for lonely college students,
but I think we know someone who can.
"Minerva Perapolski"
is just looking for love.
She'll do whatever the love guru says.
What accent was that?
Greek.
Uh
nice work on your backstory,
but there's a big difference
between planning it up a
Yeah, I know! I have read all the books.
Plus, I take down online trolls
in eight different time zones.
That's two different things.
Um, how many times have you been in the field?
"IRL"? First time.
That explains "Minerva".
First rule keep it simple.
Your name is Raine.
Just focus on finding Guy.
Which guy?
"Guy" Guy. His n is Guy.
Oh! Right.
But you told me he had an alibi.
Yeah, he does. He's not our stalker,
but he's been at every meet-up
for the past six months.
So, he may know what happened.
This is why I wanted to work for you guys
learn from the best.
And the best say "go".
- Now! Go.
- Now. Go.
- 'Kay, go.
- Yeah.
I won't let you down.
Hey, how big is the turnout?
Bigger than I thought.
Grace is raking it in
with these club membership fees.
Yeah, of course she is.
Kids don't know how to date anymore.
Oh, yeah?
And how long did it take you two
to figure it out?
Just focus on your field work, "Minerva"!
I have eyes on Grace.
How are we today?
Open to love!
Raine, you gotta blend in.
- Participate.
- Open to love!
That was loud and late.
I just need a drink.
No! No booze. It'll make you louder.
Just take a breath.
We are all here
because we are feeling
unfulfilled
undesired,
and un-in-loved.
Not a real word.
That changes today!
And who are we searching for?
My Soul Double!
My Soul Double.
That was faster.
I want everyone to connect with someone today.
Our eyes
are the windows into our souls,
and remember
eye contact
is soul contact.
Hi!
Oh, my God
Uh, I-I'm Guy.
Be cool. Don't come on too strong.
Hi.
I'm Raine.
Look, start the conversation,
then you can control it.
No, let him start.
It's less suspicious.
Uh what's your star sign?
'Cause the stars are giving me signs.
So, how'd you hear about this?
Just be direct. Bring up Mayette.
Just be casual!
Don't seem too eager.
I know how to talk to people!
Yeah, you do.
Uh, this girl from my dorm
maybe you know her? Mayette?
Ooh uh
We're not supposed to talk about her.
She got blocked.
He's gonna clam up. Flirt with him.
What I'm saying
Guy,
is Soul Doubles don't have secrets.
Raine?
Tech whiz from South Tower?
You know me?
That's creepy. How does she know her?
I've been waiting for you
and so has your Soul Double.
Oh, yeah, Guy! He's my guy.
Not him.
Come with me.
No! Don't go with her!
She took my hand
took my hand,
and I feel your power and energy,
but I was really looking into Guy's windows.
This is Isobel
your Soul Double.
I already feel so connected!
Work with what you have.
Engage Isobel.
She may know why Mayette was blocked, too.
Don't come on too hot.
You ever bugged someone's room before?
That would be coming on hot!
You mean, get to know them?
I'll get us some drinks.
I am seriously afraid for this generation.
Hey, Will.
How's spying on "love club"?
Illuminating! How's it going over there?
All good.
Celeste was just telling me
how she has an E.C.E. degree,
and she was an au pair in France.
"Celeste"?
- The Poached nanny.
- Yes.
She plays multiple instruments,
she knows an edible Play-Doh recipe,
and she just set a record for
getting Dex down for his nap.
Uh, I find the raps from Hamilton
surprisingly effective.
Oh. I can't wait to meet you both.
Now we're just working a little yogurt
Vroo-oo-oo-oom!
Yeah, that was more of a V6 engine.
It needs to sound more like a V8.
I gotta go!
We're at a critical point in our training.
- Yeah?
- Yep.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
All right, buddy, here it comes
Vroo-oo-oo-oom!
You know, I hate to admit it,
but I think Will's doing better than we would've.
Speak for yourself. My V8 crushes.
Do you believe in soul mates?
Yeah, sure. I mean, you're mine.
What was that for?
Come on.
You had a whole life
and a whole other wife before me.
Just because we're together
doesn't negate what you had before.
That's not what I meant.
There's no such thing as soul mates.
So, what I'm not your soul mate?
Hell, no! This isn't about fate.
Love is a choice.
You choose your person every damn day,
and that's how it should be.
Well, since you put it that way.
Hey, I'm gonna stop you right there.
I do not need that in my ear!
Plus, everyone knows that soul mates
were a myth invented by rich men
to sell diamond rings and white dresses
at a steep mark-up.
Okay, that's not how this works.
We comment on your field work.
You don't comment on our relationship.
No, uh, I can't do this!
Sorry. He kisses like a fish.
He can't be my Soul Double.
Why not?
They're distracted.
I'm gonna try and get back to Guy.
Hey Guy.
Hey.
What did happen
to get Mayette banned?
We might have a shot.
There's no "might"
in flirting!
- We have a shot.
We've got a good great shot,
but I need to know what happened to Mayette.
She called Grace a fraud
in front of the whole club.
Last time I saw her,
she said she was gonna
report her to school admin.
- Mayette was going to talk?
- Yeah.
Why did she call her a fraud?
She said Grace was, like,
preying on lonely students for money.
It all came out when she matched Mayette
with her Soul Double.
- Connor?
- Yeah.
But Mayette rejected him because
she actually met someone.
Uh
Ethan something.
Works at a record store.
Grace must've been pissed.
You don't reject
your Soul Double.
So, are you into guys
or just this Guy?
I think you should look
into someone else's windows.
Oh, my God, what a rush!
Not bad for your first time in the field.
I'll give you a solid "B".
Uh, I'm straight-A's, all the way.
When you're being yourself, absolutely.
Your undercover work
just needs a little practice.
I'm down for that.
Can't let the bad guys win, right?
There's a good chance Grace sent that note.
She could've sent one of her goons
to Copperstream Park.
Budding cult leaders don't like it
when their business is threatened.
I have a strong feeling we'll be seeing Grace
in a Dateline special in about 10 to 12 years.
Definitely.
Although, Isobel was more my vibe
than my last boyfriend.
She might have a gift.
You know, I think it's worth
looking into the new guy
the record-store Ethan.
Yeah, agreed. Raine,
how many record stores are there in Victoria?
Excuse me
Yeah, rock's at the back, on your left.
Uh we're actually looking for someone
who might work here Ethan?
We did have an Ethan.
Gonna have to fire his ass.
Can't miss two shifts without notice
and not answer your phone.
Mayette's new boyfriend's also M.I.A.?
Do you think he did something to her?
Maybe. Or maybe Ethan's in trouble, too.
Do you think he did something to her? Len.
He's part of the love cult, too?
No, but we think he's with Mayette,
and they're both missing.
Okay, and who's this?
- Lauren's friend.
- A consultant.
- She's Raine.
- A student helping us out.
Unlike Mayette, Ethan is online.
He's a geek for vinyl,
but he's also into something else mushrooms.
Psychedelic mushrooms?
No, the regular edible kind.
He has an account that's dedicated to foraging.
His handle is "ImAFunGi".
Of course it is.
And his last post is a selfie
with Mayette in the forest.
- Your mystery man.
- It was taken
in the parking lot of Copperstream Park
the last place they were both seen.
It's possible one of Grace's followers
has done something to Mayette and Ethan.
Can your team help out?
Search the area, maybe?
I don't like that there are two kids missing now
and a cult brewing on campus.
I'll alert the families
and talk to my staff sergeant
about a search team.
Thank you.
Oh, my God. Mayette just texted!
"Out camping. Spotty reception.
Sorry to worry you."
Oh, my God, she's okay.
She's okay, she's okay, she's okay!
Will there be anything else?
- No.
- Thank you for your time.
Oh, boy. The Norwegian sling.
It's more of a vertical sling/hammock.
Dex digs it.
Now, it took me ages to master,
but the secret is, be one with the sling.
Mayette's text should be good news,
so why don't I feel happy?
Has she responded to your latest text?
Say why she missed the exam?
I got bubble action.
It's coming.
"'Cause I found a sweet foraging spot.
Y.O.L.O."
Do 18-year-olds still say Y.O.L.O.?
Definitely old-millennial vibes.
Wait. "Sweet foraging spot"?
I live for foraging 'shrooms.
Why am I not surprised?
Wild, edible ones.
I once went off-grid for six weeks,
picking pine mushrooms.
Restaurants pay big bucks for 'em.
Guys make a "G" a day, easy cash,
but you gotta watch your back, though,
because it's way easier
to rob someone else's stash
than it is to pick new ones.
So it's dangerous?
Oh, yeah! And you gotta know what you're doing.
Death cap mushrooms come by their name honestly.
R.I.P., Mort.
Whoa!
You just rocked that sling on your first go.
Take that, Norway!
I am officially adding
"head-hunting" to my resume.
Right under "comfortable with pythons".
I don't trust those texts.
I'd feel better if we laid eyes on the kids.
Agreed. So, search Copperstream campsites
near foraging areas?
Uh, you can't
legally pick mushrooms in provincial parks.
I mean, people do it, but on the DL.
So if they're camping
it wouldn't be in a campsite.
Exactly, which is why
I just joined a chat group about island foraging.
Created a new account
and asked where to forage in Copperstream.
Sounds like a long shot.
Got it.
All right. Well, we'll go to the park.
You and Lauren keep texting Mayette.
See what comes back.
Hey we have to go to work,
but we'll be back soon, okay?
We'll see you later.
- Yeah.
- We love you.
Bye, buddy.
We getting close to the foraging zone?
Yeah. Do you see any mushrooms?
Shell casing.
That's not good.
There's blood.
Looks like a trail.
Call Xiao.
I don't have any service.
We can go back out to the parking lot,
try it from there?
If someone's in trouble, there's no time.
All right, we follow the trail,
but keep trying Xiao.
Mayette? Ethan?
Are you in there?
What happened?
We caught him!
He was bagging a huge stash of pine mushrooms.
- W-We tried to get away
- but he saw us.
Dude shot my leg!
He shot you?
We hid until morning, and then he caught us,
and he brought us here,
and-and he took our phones.
Oh, he must've read Lauren's
text and replied as you.
Lauren, my roommate?
Yeah, she hired us. We're P.I.s.
She's worried about you.
Oh, wow. I-I thought she hated me.
This guy who shot you
if you saw him again,
do you think you could I.D. him?
Yeah.
All right, keep moving.
If anybody runs, I shoot.
He's wearing socks over his boots
so he doesn't leave footprints.
That's not a good sign.
All right, you go with them, I'll work on him.
Okay.
Mayette take a deep breath.
Hey, man, listen.
We really need all this?
They were foraging
where they shouldn't have been.
You were just doing your job.
Let us go, we'll forget all about it.
I shot a kid.
None of this was supposed to happen.
So what was supposed to happen?
I was supposed to make
enough money to pay them back.
So you got in debt with some bad people?
Let me guess you paid them off,
and now they won't let you stop?
No. They say the operation's theirs now.
If I stop, I'm a dead man.
{[Shade] So where are we going?
It's just up ahead.
What, you just gonna shoot us?
Will you shut up?
Look, his leg's really bad. Let me go help him.
Otherwise, we'll never get
to where you're taking us.
Fine. Go!
Okay. Go, buddy.
You know where we're going?
Yeah.
It's bad.
It's gonna be okay.
Hey, Ang. I'm thinking War of the Roses.
Oh. One of my faves.
Those are death caps.
They shut down your liver
and then your kidneys, right?
Yeah.
All right.
You're all gonna eat those.
When they find your bodies,
they'll just think some foragers made a mistake.
You, first.
Now!
Come on.
Go ahead.
Eat it!
No, I'll go first.
- No, I'm going first.
- Give me the mush
- Give me the mushrooms!
- No!
Why do we always have to do it
your way?
- Are you out of your mind?
We never get to do anything my way.
Name one time that
we've done it the way I want it!
- I want that mushroom!
- I can name a hundred.
Oh, you liar. You don't even like mushrooms!
What are you talking about? I love mushrooms!
Also, I can't stand here
and watch the love of my life die.
Oh, so now I'm supposed to watch you die?
You don't even get mushrooms on your pizza!
"I don't want mushrooms on my pizza."
Now, all of a sudden, you love mushrooms?
You wanna eat them all?
- Who are you?
- Enough!
You, eat it!
I'm free. What's the play?
Now!
Matt
what did you do?
Matt, what did you do?
Why would you do that, Matt?
Matt!
Why did you just do that?
Ohh
All right, you're next. Let's go.
Just let us go!
Matt! Why would you do that?
Please don't leave me.
I waited my whole life for you.
Why would you do that? Get up!
Please get up.
Am I your soul mate?
Of course you are!
You
Didn't eat a death cap, did ya?
No.
I took one from Ethan's bag and I swapped it out.
Great.
I'm divorcing you and taking everything.
You would never divorce your soul mate!
I'm divorcing you out of two cases solved. T'so
Easier when you aren't managing 30 active cases.
You know, if we worked together
on a few of those
Yeah, not gonna happen.
It's still not my worst date.
Mayette!
I'm so sorry for the text,
the music, everything.
You made sure I was okay. Thank you.
We did it.
"We" again?
Oh, no, you're right. I did it.
I brought the case. I went undercover.
I found the location.
Okay. Okay, fine.
We did it.
So now that I'm officially part of the team,
I'm thinking 20 hours a week
time-and-a-half during midterms and finals.
How about
freelance, as an on-needed basis?
Plus snacks.
Deal.
Hey!
Uh-huh!
What I like about you
You hold me tight
Tell me I'm the only one
Wanna come over tonight
Yeah!
Keep on whispering in my ear ♪
- Tell me all the things
- Who's that?
- Hey!
- Hey.
Hey!
I was just showing Dex
the book I made for the new nanny.
"Tips for burping
rub his back counter-clockwise."
Hmm.
"Won't eat pureed salmon
if it's not cut with something sweet, like pear."
That is true.
Yeah.
"Keep an extra copy of
Ten Tiny Toes in the diaper bag,
so the bedtime one doesn't go missing."
I thought that was you.
I thought that was you!
And this
this is all me.
Huh?
I thought it was pretty cute. I couldn't resist!
All this time
searching for the perfect nanny,
and the perfect manny was right under our nose.
Me?
Will you?
It would be an honour
to help raise the little chickadee with you.
All right! Well, I'll call Celeste,
tell her we went with family.
Well, half-family.
You say half
but in your heart, I know there's no half, Matt.
Well, we all have our truths. Come here, buddy!
Aww, yeah.
I'll go check on dinner.
Oh, yeah.
Hope you like spicy!
Hmm!
Now this
this is a look that really works for me.
You wanna go to get dinner? Are you hungry?
- You a hungry baby?
- Yeah!
Yeah!
That's what I like about you
That's what I like about you ♪
That's what I like about you
That's what I like about you ♪
That's what I like about you
That's what I like
Hey!
Hey, buddy. Here you go, honey.
Thank you.
We're gonna need some office supplies.
I'm gonna end up pulling my neck.
Uh
Or I could do that.
What, did we get a case? Let me guess
PTA crime ring?
Nope. "Caregiver Mafia".
They control the city's bake-sale trade.
Ooh. They say sugar kills huh.
Prospective nannies?
Yes!
We got some new bites on our ad,
and not a minute too soon,
because Mommy and Daddy
are going back into the P.I. business.
Yeah, that's right!
I'm gonna keep talking to you like an adult,
even though you don't know what Mommy's saying.
All right, which one screams,
"Live-in Mary Poppins available
for unpredictable hours"?
I'm not entirely sold on this "live-in" thing.
I thought the guest house
was gonna be my man cave.
Honey, men in healthy relationships
don't need man caves,
just like I don't need a she-shed.
Although mm.
What?
He does that every time.
You blocking shots already?
Kid's gonna be a hell of a goalie.
Come here, buddy.
Hmm. Okay, let's, uh
lose the Babysitter's Club.
And these two definitely have something to hide.
I don't know why you'd frown in a nanny headshot,
and I don't wanna find out.
That leaves us with three candidates.
I'll make some appointments
for nanny interviews later today.
Today? What's the rush?
We don't have a police contact yet
or any contacts.
It might be a while before we get our first case.
Raine? What are you doing here?
I've got a case for you.
Wait.
How do you know where I live?
He means "come in."
How old are you gonna be when he graduates?
I'm younger than Clooney!
Have a seat.
How can we help you?
Uh, my friend well, roommate, Mayette
left in the middle of the night to go for a hike
in Copperstream Park.
She hasn't come back, and she hasn't responded
to any of my texts.
Maybe she turned her phone off,
or her battery died?
The three of us had a stats exam at 10 A.M.,
the one pre-req we all have in common,
and she didn't show.
She's been studying for weeks.
No way she'd miss that.
Right.
Have you guys been to see university admin?
They noted it,
but, because she's 18,
Mayette didn't meet the "criteria for concern,"
at this point.
Well, she could be lost or injured.
Show them the note.
Someone slipped this under our door last night.
She tell you who it's from?
Well, we don't really talk
but when she didn't come back this morning,
I took it out of the trash and I read it.
So you're not close.
We were at first rush week was amazing,
but as soon as classes started,
she changed.
Wouldn't come out.
Complained my music was too loud.
Who studies on a Friday night?
That's, like, offensive.
Do you have any idea who could've sent the note?
No. I-I can't imagine
Mayette having beef with anyone.
But, when she's stressed,
she likes to be alone in nature,
so maybe she was, because she left.
So this is all on me,
'cause if I had just been a better roommate
Don't do that.
This is what P.I.s do find people.
We'll find her.
I'm sorry, "we"?
Please? Will you help?
If Jules was missing,
you'd want someone looking into it right away.
Yeah.
We'll take your case.
We're gonna start
by going to the last place Mayette was.
Does he make that sound all day?
- Yeah.
- Most of the day, yeah.
Lauren and Mayette seem like oil and water.
Maybe opposites don't always attract.
Boy, we lucked out.
What?
I mean, we have our differences,
but we're not that different.
We're both smart, driven, funny.
One of us a little more than the other.
Thank you for finally acknowledging
I'm funnier than you.
Honey, come on!
We are classic yin and yang.
Do you remember when you first moved in?
Okay, there was a bit of an adjustment period,
but we didn't have
a party girl-versus-bookworm imbalance.
Well, sorry for not getting why
a kitchen needs three cheese graters!
That's because they each do different things.
Oh, and dare I leave even one item of clothing
on the armchair.
It was a laundry mountain!
We were one dirty sock away
from starring in an episode of Hoarders.
Well, it's official.
We have a West Coast kid.
He's asleep.
You know, this could just be
a case of students being students.
When I was 18,
I used to disappear for weekends at a time.
This one guy from Montreal, Jean-Paul
As much as Dex and I are dying
to hear about your exploits
thankfully, there's a park ranger.
Hi there!
Yes, reception is spotty in the park.
It's better up the hill, or if
you just hold it up like that
No-no-no. We're looking for a hiker.
Have you seen her?
Oh. Yeah. I-I got a call about her this morning.
I already told the police I saw them leave.
Hold on you saw "them" leave?
Yeah. She came out of the woods,
there was a guy waiting for her.
He took her to his car.
"Took"? Can you describe the guy?
Plaid shirt, cargo pants
Blundstone boots?
Did it look like they knew each other?
I don't know.
They got in his car and they took off.
Look, I'm sorry,
I gotta go deal with a black bear sighting, so
good luck.
Lauren said Mayette hiked alone,
so who's this guy waiting for her?
And where did he take her?
I see you
And you see me
Watch you blowing the lines
When you're making a scene
Oh, boy
You've got to know
What my head overlooks
The senses will show to my heart ♪
When it's watching for lies
'Cause you can't escape my ♪
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you watching you ♪
Watching you watching you ♪
"Talk and you're dead."
Sounds like maybe Mayette didn't respect
the sock-on-the-door rule?
The roommate said the note really scared her.
Okay, to recap
an 18-year-old away from home
blows off school with a boy
and has been missing for
six hours?
She didn't "blow off school with a boy".
There was a man waiting for her
in the parking lot.
He took her to his car and drove away.
Did you get a licence plate?
Make, model?
He was wearing Blundstones.
Half of BC wears Blundstones.
Apparently, this is extremely
out of character for Mayette.
Hiking in the woods?
No, she does that all the time.
Sorry, we're in the middle
of trying to find a nanny.
You know how hard that can be.
I do not.
If Mayette hits the 24-hour mark,
let me know.
Otherwise, please take
your circus out of my office.
"Circus"?
Our handsome little boo?
Ugh. Lauren says
Mayette's still not responding to texts or calls.
Oh, we need to dig into Mayette's world,
starting at the university.
Dex is a little young for a campus tour.
I know you're not gonna like it
N-No!
He tries on my clothes when we're not there.
He's all we've got for help right now.
What was so important it couldn't wait
until after my rescue mission?
- What "rescue"?
- Why are you so wet?
I was foraging for lost golf balls.
Hey, do you have anything dry I can change into?
Can you babysit for a day or two?
Just until we hire a nanny.
I'm helping crew a boat coming up from San Diego,
starting Friday.
- So you've been saying all week.
Man doesn't belong on land!
And yet, no fins.
I know you're committed to that,
but we're on a case.
It's a missing student.
And our nanny interviews start in an hour.
If you could just narrow down our options
Root out the duds for you?
Yeah, got it.
I have the ultimate nanny question.
"How do you treat a burn?"
I got this!
Any idea who this guy could be?
I don't know.
She hasn't talked to me about guys before.
This is on me.
That's the second time you've said that.
What aren't you telling us?
A few nights ago, I made things worse.
What happened?
Mayette was studying for a stats exam.
I guess my music was too loud.
She complained,
so I texted my mom to vent,
but I sent the text to Mayette by accident.
"Ugh. My roommate is the place
where fun goes to die."
Ouch.
We haven't talked since.
Do you mind if we look around?
Maybe we can find something
to identify this mystery man.
Sure, yeah.
Mayette's into philosophy?
Oh!
Thought she was into puppies.
Hey
she dropped Philosophy 101 last week.
Why bail on a class so late in the term?
And a class that she liked.
Maybe Raine can get into this.
Yeah. We can drop it off to her
on the way to class.
I'm sorry, "class"?
So who do we think talks to Mayette?
She is a keener.
So, front-row student?
Ahem.
Hey do you, by any chance, know Mayette?
We're from the scholarship board.
You're evaluating Mayette for a scholarship?
Here? In person?
Well, she applied for a very prestigious prize.
We need to see her in person,
see if she's deserving.
Bethany Adams.
I have a 4.0 average,
I'm student council treasurer,
and my middle name just happens to be "Honour".
Please tell me the scholarship
window isn't closed?
What's the application URL?
- Um
- Okay, let's get started.
I hope everybody did the assigned reading.
Plaid shirt, cargo pants, Blundstones.
I'm sorry, are you two enrolled in my class?
Oh, um, we're from the scholarship board.
Yeah, we don't have a scholarship board.
Yet.
We're just auditing.
Well, this class doesn't accept auditors.
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
Unlike Sartre's play,
there is an exit, and it's over there. Yes.
I think we just lost our keener.
Well
guess we try our luck with the stoners.
He didn't wanna be institutionalized.
You gotta respect that.
Yes, I do understand
the hypocrisy of me saying this
as an aspiring university professor
who hopes to one day
Hey, do you guys know a student in this class
named Mayette?
My mother told me not to talk to strangers.
That's too bad.
These are different times
Oh, that chick.
Yeah.
She's the one that got
in that major beef with the T.A.
In the '60s,
being an intellectual was sexy.
I mean, I don't have a fighting chance
in this day and age, as a philosopher,
of becoming rich and/or famous.
Philosophy just takes time.
How involved are the grandparents?
Unfortunately, they've all passed. Why?
I don't like to be undermined.
I will make a note of that.
Tell me a bit about your childcare philosophy.
I try never to use the word "no".
No screen time, no sugar, no direct sunlight.
No joke
you run a tight ship.
- No jokes either.
I guess my childcare philosophy
is, like
"the more, the merrier."
As in, "it takes a village"?
More like, if my boyfriend came over,
then the two of us could watch Declan!
Huh.
What's the Wi-Fi password?
"NoBoyfriends." All one word.
What is your discipline style?
Harsh.
Well you don't discipline a child under one.
Dex isn't eating lunch. What do you do?
I would make myself
a peanut butter-jelly sandwich.
Everyone loves that.
He only has two teeth.
Peanut butter on a spoon?
Why did you become a nanny?
I love children. They're so full of wonder!
Next-level wonder, am I right?
Kids are too soft these days.
I don't drive so I can't do DoorDash.
My boyfriend says retail isn't for me,
so that's why I'm a nanny.
Oh
all right.
And, finally, the most important question
how do you treat a burn?
Depends on the kind of burn.
Iron? Fire?
Hot oil? Steam?
Water? Acid?
How many lives have you lived?
Oh, my boyfriend was a lifeguard,
so I'd text him for help.
Unless he was already here.
A burn?
Oh, I'd never let the baby
be in a position to get burned.
Exactly!
Ah! The parents are gonna love you, Lila.
Hey, get anywhere with Mayette's laptop?
It's locked up tight,
but I did get into her school email.
Check this out.
Emails between Mayette
and her philosophy T.A., Isaac,
and they're not friendly.
Well, that lines up with what the stoner said.
Mm-hmm.
"It was humiliating.
I could lose my fellowship over this."
You think he wrote the threatening note?
You felt Mayette Reyes humiliated you
and was threatening your fellowship.
Is that why she dumped your class?
I don't know who you are,
but student information is private.
We're private investigators.
Mayette's missing.
Uh
Look. Uh, I was upset.
I'd invited Mayette to be
part of my thesis research.
I may have sent her work up the ladder
without fully reading it.
You "may have"?
Didn't even skim it.
I was shocked when my advisor called
and said it was written by ChatGPT.
So you were mad that
she cheated to do your cheating?
Well, she made me look bad.
Also, it's just weird
Mayette using ChatGP
was totally out of character.
Where were you this morning
between eight and ten?
Here! For, uh For office hours.
No students came by, so I caught up on marking.
Things are fine between us now.
And we're supposed to just believe you?
It's true!
She apologized for using A.I.,
said she was distracted,
and then she said she was dropping the class.
I mean, I tried to talk her out of it.
She was my star student.
She say why she was dropping your class?
Just that she didn't have a choice.
I thought she sounded paranoid.
Paranoid about what?
Look, if I knew, I'd tell you.
Hey!
Sorry, this is how I de-stress.
And go deaf.
Uh, we compared the note.
The T.A.'s handwriting doesn't match.
Still, not much of an alibi.
He said that Mayette has been
distracted and nervous lately?
Kinda, but I thought she was
just stressed about exams.
We all are.
You know if she kept a journal?
I didn't see her writing in anything.
I-I'm sorry, I've been oblivious.
It's all right.
You cared enough to ask us for help.
What was that?
It's been glitching all week.
Best app I ever paid for.
She was right to be paranoid.
How's my little angel?
I'm great, thanks for asking.
Where are you two?
Lila's references checked out,
but I wanted to see her in action.
Are you spying on her?
Will, tell me you're not hiding in the bushes.
Of course I'm not hiding in the bushes.
Uh-oh.
Did she make you?
Worse! She answered her phone.
Oh, she is so fired.
You can't fire someone you never hired.
Oh, wait. Who is this?
I am totally getting
"nanny in the Alps" vibes.
I'm going in.
Will, you can't poach a nanny!
He hung up.
He's definitely in poaching mode.
What about Lila?
We still have to meet
these nannies for ourselves.
Will's just excited
about poaching a potential Von Trapp,
and we're going home to Julie Andrews 2.0
and a dress made from curtains.
Anyhow.
Lauren said the plant
was left outside their door two weeks ago.
Yeah, we're in the City of Gardens.
There's no way we're tracing
that plant back to its buyer.
And the bug was probably bought online.
Unless they didn't want
to leave a credit card trail.
And, of course, it doesn't go around corners.
It's a straight line of sight.
Hey.
Check this out.
Oh
Yeah. I don't know.
Spy roleplay isn't really my thing.
But we should get some new
earpieces while we're here.
Yeah.
Excuse me.
Um, do you sell this bug here?
PL 3000. That's very popular.
Has a range of about 200 metres.
Have you sold one recently?
Maybe to someone who paid cash?
Sold one a couple weeks ago.
Perfect. Do you have CCTV?
Oh, I sure do.
And I can show you, just as soon
as you show me a warrant.
Right.
People come in here
expecting a certain amount of privacy.
Understood, but let me ask you something.
You got kids?
Three teenage girls.
Pains in my ass, but my reasons for living.
We're looking for a missing student.
Whoever bought this bug was spying on her.
We just wanna make sure
she can still be a pain in the ass to her dad.
Well, listen, my system is down,
but I remember him.
He was a young guy
20s, had a plaid shirt and
Let me guess, Blundstones?
Yeah.
Oh, and he had a sports bag
university basketball team.
Did it have a number on it?
Yeah, I think it did.
Yeah, fans can't buy those.
Only players get numbered bags.
Okay. Thank you. You've been a big help.
Thanks, man.
Um, we're gonna take some of these. Ahem.
Sure.
This!
Definitely this.
Ooh!
I'll take one of those.
Oh yeah!
Do you think we need a owl cam?
- Uh
- I don't know!
Uh
- Never know.
- Oh, sure, yeah.
Ahem.
Just throw that in there.
Baby boutique,
spy shop
is there any store your credit card doesn't like?
According to this university campus map,
if the spy's on the basketball team,
the receiving end of the bug could be at the gym.
It's only 200 metres from the dorm.
Find the creep bugging Mayette, find Mayette.
Hey, did Lauren have any idea
who this basketball player/spy might be?
No. She said that Mayette
never hung out with the jocks,
but if I was the basketball player/spy,
I'd keep the transmitter
close to me at all times.
Except during practice and games.
You'd stash it in your locker.
We could practice being basketball parents.
Dex might
- Whoa, whoa.
Whoa! He's starting with hockey.
I just found our cover.
Testing. Testing. Can you hear me?
Ugh, it smells like body spray in here.
Good, the earpiece is working.
You know, I gotta say
this look isn't a "no" for me.
I thought you didn't go for roleplay.
Oh, I'm not playin'.
Can we just
Warn me if anyone's coming.
Hey, Ozzy!
Do the move.
Come on, man.
Your signature move. Let's see it.
Well, that's not it.
Ah, you know what they say, kid
never meet your heroes.
Carmine?
You told me you were visiting
your sick aunt in Nanaimo.
Uh
You lied to me?
- No, no, no. No, no, no!
- My friends warned me about you!
You cheating
Bingo.
Oh, my gosh.
Man.
I can't believe I gave you my favourite sweater!
And my notes!
Creepy.
Hey, stop him! That's our stalker!

Where is she?
We know you've been stalking her.
I'm not stalking her!
I'm her Soul Double.
Okay, yes, I b,
but only to get to know her better.
I even took her favourite class,
but then she dropped it.
Did you send the threatening note?
Drop the act!
You clearly have a thing for Mayette,
and she didn't like you back,
so what'd you do to her?
I would never hurt Mayette!
I was just doing the assignment.
"Assignment"?
For the Soul Double Society.
It's this club for single students.
Grace helps us find the person
that you're destined to be with.
By telling you to bug their room?
She wants us to do whatever it takes.
Is this how kids flirt these days?
I don't know, I'm still processing
the word "Soul Double".
Where were you this morning
between eight and ten?
At the gym, for a team-building session.
It was mandatory.
All the evidence is in this bag.
You're turning me in?
That's what happens when you stalk someone.
Okay, thanks for confirming.
Well, Connor's alibi checked out.
So he's a creep, but not our creep.
I wonder who Mayette left the forest with.
This matchmaking club that Connor's obsessed with
has led him to some pretty bad behaviour.
Yeah. Their leader, Grace
if she's encouraging stalking,
maybe someone else from the group
took things too far?
Is that their website?
Yeah. There's a calendar with meeting times,
and then a membership hierarchy.
I mean, even the bottom tier is pretty expensive.
You know what?
Tomorrow, there's a singles pool-party meet-up.
Well, we're not gonna pass
for lonely college students,
but I think we know someone who can.
"Minerva Perapolski"
is just looking for love.
She'll do whatever the love guru says.
What accent was that?
Greek.
Uh
nice work on your backstory,
but there's a big difference
between planning it up a
Yeah, I know! I have read all the books.
Plus, I take down online trolls
in eight different time zones.
That's two different things.
Um, how many times have you been in the field?
"IRL"? First time.
That explains "Minerva".
First rule keep it simple.
Your name is Raine.
Just focus on finding Guy.
Which guy?
"Guy" Guy. His n is Guy.
Oh! Right.
But you told me he had an alibi.
Yeah, he does. He's not our stalker,
but he's been at every meet-up
for the past six months.
So, he may know what happened.
This is why I wanted to work for you guys
learn from the best.
And the best say "go".
- Now! Go.
- Now. Go.
- 'Kay, go.
- Yeah.
I won't let you down.
Hey, how big is the turnout?
Bigger than I thought.
Grace is raking it in
with these club membership fees.
Yeah, of course she is.
Kids don't know how to date anymore.
Oh, yeah?
And how long did it take you two
to figure it out?
Just focus on your field work, "Minerva"!
I have eyes on Grace.
How are we today?
Open to love!
Raine, you gotta blend in.
- Participate.
- Open to love!
That was loud and late.
I just need a drink.
No! No booze. It'll make you louder.
Just take a breath.
We are all here
because we are feeling
unfulfilled
undesired,
and un-in-loved.
Not a real word.
That changes today!
And who are we searching for?
My Soul Double!
My Soul Double.
That was faster.
I want everyone to connect with someone today.
Our eyes
are the windows into our souls,
and remember
eye contact
is soul contact.
Hi!
Oh, my God
Uh, I-I'm Guy.
Be cool. Don't come on too strong.
Hi.
I'm Raine.
Look, start the conversation,
then you can control it.
No, let him start.
It's less suspicious.
Uh what's your star sign?
'Cause the stars are giving me signs.
So, how'd you hear about this?
Just be direct. Bring up Mayette.
Just be casual!
Don't seem too eager.
I know how to talk to people!
Yeah, you do.
Uh, this girl from my dorm
maybe you know her? Mayette?
Ooh uh
We're not supposed to talk about her.
She got blocked.
He's gonna clam up. Flirt with him.
What I'm saying
Guy,
is Soul Doubles don't have secrets.
Raine?
Tech whiz from South Tower?
You know me?
That's creepy. How does she know her?
I've been waiting for you
and so has your Soul Double.
Oh, yeah, Guy! He's my guy.
Not him.
Come with me.
No! Don't go with her!
She took my hand
took my hand,
and I feel your power and energy,
but I was really looking into Guy's windows.
This is Isobel
your Soul Double.
I already feel so connected!
Work with what you have.
Engage Isobel.
She may know why Mayette was blocked, too.
Don't come on too hot.
You ever bugged someone's room before?
That would be coming on hot!
You mean, get to know them?
I'll get us some drinks.
I am seriously afraid for this generation.
Hey, Will.
How's spying on "love club"?
Illuminating! How's it going over there?
All good.
Celeste was just telling me
how she has an E.C.E. degree,
and she was an au pair in France.
"Celeste"?
- The Poached nanny.
- Yes.
She plays multiple instruments,
she knows an edible Play-Doh recipe,
and she just set a record for
getting Dex down for his nap.
Uh, I find the raps from Hamilton
surprisingly effective.
Oh. I can't wait to meet you both.
Now we're just working a little yogurt
Vroo-oo-oo-oom!
Yeah, that was more of a V6 engine.
It needs to sound more like a V8.
I gotta go!
We're at a critical point in our training.
- Yeah?
- Yep.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
All right, buddy, here it comes
Vroo-oo-oo-oom!
You know, I hate to admit it,
but I think Will's doing better than we would've.
Speak for yourself. My V8 crushes.
Do you believe in soul mates?
Yeah, sure. I mean, you're mine.
What was that for?
Come on.
You had a whole life
and a whole other wife before me.
Just because we're together
doesn't negate what you had before.
That's not what I meant.
There's no such thing as soul mates.
So, what I'm not your soul mate?
Hell, no! This isn't about fate.
Love is a choice.
You choose your person every damn day,
and that's how it should be.
Well, since you put it that way.
Hey, I'm gonna stop you right there.
I do not need that in my ear!
Plus, everyone knows that soul mates
were a myth invented by rich men
to sell diamond rings and white dresses
at a steep mark-up.
Okay, that's not how this works.
We comment on your field work.
You don't comment on our relationship.
No, uh, I can't do this!
Sorry. He kisses like a fish.
He can't be my Soul Double.
Why not?
They're distracted.
I'm gonna try and get back to Guy.
Hey Guy.
Hey.
What did happen
to get Mayette banned?
We might have a shot.
There's no "might"
in flirting!
- We have a shot.
We've got a good great shot,
but I need to know what happened to Mayette.
She called Grace a fraud
in front of the whole club.
Last time I saw her,
she said she was gonna
report her to school admin.
- Mayette was going to talk?
- Yeah.
Why did she call her a fraud?
She said Grace was, like,
preying on lonely students for money.
It all came out when she matched Mayette
with her Soul Double.
- Connor?
- Yeah.
But Mayette rejected him because
she actually met someone.
Uh
Ethan something.
Works at a record store.
Grace must've been pissed.
You don't reject
your Soul Double.
So, are you into guys
or just this Guy?
I think you should look
into someone else's windows.
Oh, my God, what a rush!
Not bad for your first time in the field.
I'll give you a solid "B".
Uh, I'm straight-A's, all the way.
When you're being yourself, absolutely.
Your undercover work
just needs a little practice.
I'm down for that.
Can't let the bad guys win, right?
There's a good chance Grace sent that note.
She could've sent one of her goons
to Copperstream Park.
Budding cult leaders don't like it
when their business is threatened.
I have a strong feeling we'll be seeing Grace
in a Dateline special in about 10 to 12 years.
Definitely.
Although, Isobel was more my vibe
than my last boyfriend.
She might have a gift.
You know, I think it's worth
looking into the new guy
the record-store Ethan.
Yeah, agreed. Raine,
how many record stores are there in Victoria?
Excuse me
Yeah, rock's at the back, on your left.
Uh we're actually looking for someone
who might work here Ethan?
We did have an Ethan.
Gonna have to fire his ass.
Can't miss two shifts without notice
and not answer your phone.
Mayette's new boyfriend's also M.I.A.?
Do you think he did something to her?
Maybe. Or maybe Ethan's in trouble, too.
Do you think he did something to her? Len.
He's part of the love cult, too?
No, but we think he's with Mayette,
and they're both missing.
Okay, and who's this?
- Lauren's friend.
- A consultant.
- She's Raine.
- A student helping us out.
Unlike Mayette, Ethan is online.
He's a geek for vinyl,
but he's also into something else mushrooms.
Psychedelic mushrooms?
No, the regular edible kind.
He has an account that's dedicated to foraging.
His handle is "ImAFunGi".
Of course it is.
And his last post is a selfie
with Mayette in the forest.
- Your mystery man.
- It was taken
in the parking lot of Copperstream Park
the last place they were both seen.
It's possible one of Grace's followers
has done something to Mayette and Ethan.
Can your team help out?
Search the area, maybe?
I don't like that there are two kids missing now
and a cult brewing on campus.
I'll alert the families
and talk to my staff sergeant
about a search team.
Thank you.
Oh, my God. Mayette just texted!
"Out camping. Spotty reception.
Sorry to worry you."
Oh, my God, she's okay.
She's okay, she's okay, she's okay!
Will there be anything else?
- No.
- Thank you for your time.
Oh, boy. The Norwegian sling.
It's more of a vertical sling/hammock.
Dex digs it.
Now, it took me ages to master,
but the secret is, be one with the sling.
Mayette's text should be good news,
so why don't I feel happy?
Has she responded to your latest text?
Say why she missed the exam?
I got bubble action.
It's coming.
"'Cause I found a sweet foraging spot.
Y.O.L.O."
Do 18-year-olds still say Y.O.L.O.?
Definitely old-millennial vibes.
Wait. "Sweet foraging spot"?
I live for foraging 'shrooms.
Why am I not surprised?
Wild, edible ones.
I once went off-grid for six weeks,
picking pine mushrooms.
Restaurants pay big bucks for 'em.
Guys make a "G" a day, easy cash,
but you gotta watch your back, though,
because it's way easier
to rob someone else's stash
than it is to pick new ones.
So it's dangerous?
Oh, yeah! And you gotta know what you're doing.
Death cap mushrooms come by their name honestly.
R.I.P., Mort.
Whoa!
You just rocked that sling on your first go.
Take that, Norway!
I am officially adding
"head-hunting" to my resume.
Right under "comfortable with pythons".
I don't trust those texts.
I'd feel better if we laid eyes on the kids.
Agreed. So, search Copperstream campsites
near foraging areas?
Uh, you can't
legally pick mushrooms in provincial parks.
I mean, people do it, but on the DL.
So if they're camping
it wouldn't be in a campsite.
Exactly, which is why
I just joined a chat group about island foraging.
Created a new account
and asked where to forage in Copperstream.
Sounds like a long shot.
Got it.
All right. Well, we'll go to the park.
You and Lauren keep texting Mayette.
See what comes back.
Hey we have to go to work,
but we'll be back soon, okay?
We'll see you later.
- Yeah.
- We love you.
Bye, buddy.
We getting close to the foraging zone?
Yeah. Do you see any mushrooms?
Shell casing.
That's not good.
There's blood.
Looks like a trail.
Call Xiao.
I don't have any service.
We can go back out to the parking lot,
try it from there?
If someone's in trouble, there's no time.
All right, we follow the trail,
but keep trying Xiao.
Mayette? Ethan?
Are you in there?
What happened?
We caught him!
He was bagging a huge stash of pine mushrooms.
- W-We tried to get away
- but he saw us.
Dude shot my leg!
He shot you?
We hid until morning, and then he caught us,
and he brought us here,
and-and he took our phones.
Oh, he must've read Lauren's
text and replied as you.
Lauren, my roommate?
Yeah, she hired us. We're P.I.s.
She's worried about you.
Oh, wow. I-I thought she hated me.
This guy who shot you
if you saw him again,
do you think you could I.D. him?
Yeah.
All right, keep moving.
If anybody runs, I shoot.
He's wearing socks over his boots
so he doesn't leave footprints.
That's not a good sign.
All right, you go with them, I'll work on him.
Okay.
Mayette take a deep breath.
Hey, man, listen.
We really need all this?
They were foraging
where they shouldn't have been.
You were just doing your job.
Let us go, we'll forget all about it.
I shot a kid.
None of this was supposed to happen.
So what was supposed to happen?
I was supposed to make
enough money to pay them back.
So you got in debt with some bad people?
Let me guess you paid them off,
and now they won't let you stop?
No. They say the operation's theirs now.
If I stop, I'm a dead man.
{[Shade] So where are we going?
It's just up ahead.
What, you just gonna shoot us?
Will you shut up?
Look, his leg's really bad. Let me go help him.
Otherwise, we'll never get
to where you're taking us.
Fine. Go!
Okay. Go, buddy.
You know where we're going?
Yeah.
It's bad.
It's gonna be okay.
Hey, Ang. I'm thinking War of the Roses.
Oh. One of my faves.
Those are death caps.
They shut down your liver
and then your kidneys, right?
Yeah.
All right.
You're all gonna eat those.
When they find your bodies,
they'll just think some foragers made a mistake.
You, first.
Now!
Come on.
Go ahead.
Eat it!
No, I'll go first.
- No, I'm going first.
- Give me the mush
- Give me the mushrooms!
- No!
Why do we always have to do it
your way?
- Are you out of your mind?
We never get to do anything my way.
Name one time that
we've done it the way I want it!
- I want that mushroom!
- I can name a hundred.
Oh, you liar. You don't even like mushrooms!
What are you talking about? I love mushrooms!
Also, I can't stand here
and watch the love of my life die.
Oh, so now I'm supposed to watch you die?
You don't even get mushrooms on your pizza!
"I don't want mushrooms on my pizza."
Now, all of a sudden, you love mushrooms?
You wanna eat them all?
- Who are you?
- Enough!
You, eat it!
I'm free. What's the play?
Now!
Matt
what did you do?
Matt, what did you do?
Why would you do that, Matt?
Matt!
Why did you just do that?
Ohh
All right, you're next. Let's go.
Just let us go!
Matt! Why would you do that?
Please don't leave me.
I waited my whole life for you.
Why would you do that? Get up!
Please get up.
Am I your soul mate?
Of course you are!
You
Didn't eat a death cap, did ya?
No.
I took one from Ethan's bag and I swapped it out.
Great.
I'm divorcing you and taking everything.
You would never divorce your soul mate!
I'm divorcing you out of two cases solved. T'so
Easier when you aren't managing 30 active cases.
You know, if we worked together
on a few of those
Yeah, not gonna happen.
It's still not my worst date.
Mayette!
I'm so sorry for the text,
the music, everything.
You made sure I was okay. Thank you.
We did it.
"We" again?
Oh, no, you're right. I did it.
I brought the case. I went undercover.
I found the location.
Okay. Okay, fine.
We did it.
So now that I'm officially part of the team,
I'm thinking 20 hours a week
time-and-a-half during midterms and finals.
How about
freelance, as an on-needed basis?
Plus snacks.
Deal.
Hey!
Uh-huh!
What I like about you

I was just showing Dex
the book I made for the new nanny.
"Tips for burping
rub his back counter-clockwise."
Hmm.
"Won't eat pureed salmon
if it's not cut with something sweet, like pear."
That is true.
Yeah.
"Keep an extra copy of
Ten Tiny Toes in the diaper bag,
so the bedtime one doesn't go missing."
I thought that was you.
I thought that was you!
And this
this is all me.
Huh?
I thought it was pretty cute. I couldn't resist!
All this time
searching for the perfect nanny,
and the perfect manny was right under our nose.
Me?
Will you?
It would be an honour
to help raise the little chickadee with you.
All right! Well, I'll call Celeste,
tell her we went with family.
Well, half-family.
You say half
but in your heart, I know there's no half, Matt.
Well, we all have our truths. Come here, buddy!
Aww, yeah.
I'll go check on dinner.
Oh, yeah.
Hope you like spicy!
Hmm!
Now this
this is a look that really works for me.
You wanna go to get dinner? Are you hungry?
