What are you doing?
Ms. Lucas' henchmen were there waiting for us.
What? Are you okay?
Just about. They waited until we found the thingamajig,

Typical Ms. Lucas.
Gets you to do the work,
and then snatches it from you.
What is it exactly?
It's the final piece of Ms. Spookis' amber oscillator.
But she's not getting it.
There, now it's safely out of her reach.
What?
How can anyone be outsmarted by Anika Hunter?
Is it me? Am I the problem?
Am I just bad at managing people?
No, you're great.
Oh, zip it, Simmons!
I know I'm not the problem, everyone else is.
I'll fix it for you, mom.
You? You couldn't even pull off a basic infiltration.
Now, we have a new problem.
The Jacksons have officially been reported missing
by their nosy neighbour!
Investigative lead, Daniel Hunter.
Yeah, he is rather inconvenient.
So, turn inconvenient into incarcerated.
Make it happen Simmons,
or everyone is fired, including you.
Florian, you do what you do best.
What's that?
[Ms. Lucas] Nothing.
Where are you going?
On a clean up mission.
[dramatic music]
We need to call Daniel, we're in over our heads.
Agreed.
Guys, I really gotta go. Got a call from Josh earlier,
he found the orphanage where Ms. Lucas grew up
and I wanna check it out.
Go dig some dirt, Jenny.
Yeah, find her weakness.
Huh?
Aren't you staying for my birthday party, Jenny dear?
I'm sorry, Dottie, I can't.
There's somewhere I need to be.
But happy birthday!
So, what time is it starting because I, for one,
am getting really excited!
Uh, we're still working on something for you upstairs.
Nika?
Yeah, it's really, really cool.
Mm-hm.
Uh, I need to go out and get one last thing.
Alright, see you soon.
Well, they do say the best thing about a surprise
is the anticipation!

Well, I guess I'll be anticipating
a little while longer.

Hello, Oliver!
I know where your biological father is.
What did you just say?
[Ms. Lucas] I know where your biological father is.
How do you know about that?
Florian told me.
Or are you forgetting that you had my son as a roommate?
Alex Jackson, the one I captured,
he's your biological father.
[Ms. Lucas gasping]
Not much of a surprise to any of us, I'm sure.
If you ever want to meet him, you'll bring me this.
I know Anika found it.
Oh, and if you still need to be persuaded,
he's currently staying with me too.
I'm sure Anika would never forgive you
if you let me restrain him and your biological daddy.
You have one hour.
You get me what I want,
and I'll let your family go free.
Oh, and if you talk to anybody,
this is what will happen to everyone you care about.
Meet me at the academy in one hour
with the device, or else.
-[singing through phone] -This doesn't sound good.
I know. The singing is the worst.
I meant Daniel.
Right, but let's not jump to conclusions,
he could've just helped those people,
got back in his car, turned on the radio,
listened to some really bad opera music,
had a sandwich, talked with his mouth full,
and dropped his phone and forgot we were on a call.
Right. Daniel!

Okay, that's definitely not the radio.
-Daniel! -Danny! Can you hear us?

when I stayed with them.
Do you really think they deserve to be brought
into all of this?
Oh my gosh, Florian. You're right.
I wasn't considering how they felt.
Why don't we all stay in
and watch kitten videos together?
How dare you question my decisions?
The courage gene has clearly skipped a generation.
What a disappointment that you're my son.

Can I help you?
Hi, I'm Jenny.
I was hoping I could get some information
on someone that used to live here?
Oh, then you're at the right place, almost.
The orphanage relocated to a new building a few years ago.
Sorry for bothering you.
No, wait! I was the housemistress here
when it was an orphanage.
Now, I just look after the place.
Sounds like you're exactly the person
I should be speaking to.
I'm looking for information about a Maria Lucas.
Lucas. No, I don't know anyone by that name.

Oh, that Maria. I knew her as Maria Martinez.
You better come in.

Maria was just three-years-old when she arrived here.
Such a sweet child.
She formed such intense attachments.
There was another child who arrived here
around the same time. A boy.
They became inseparable.
There was a boy in the photograph with her.
Is that him?
Yes. That's him.
What was his name, sensitive soul.
Do you remember what happened to him?
He was adopted by a lovely couple.
I remember that.
We were so happy to see him go to such a good home.
But Maria, she took it very hard.
Oh?
When he left, he promised to return to her.
Maria would spend hours sitting in the window,
watching and waiting for him to come back.
He never did.
Oh! That's really sad.
And then one day, something inside Maria just broke.
She gave up waiting.
She destroyed all the pictures
and the little presents he'd given her.
She's never been the same again.
Do you know where the boy is now?
I have no idea.
What was the name of the family who...who...
Hunter!
Hunter?
Wait, the boy's name, it isn't Eric, is it?
Yes. That's it, you're right. It was Eric.
Whoa. But, I know Eric Hunter,
and there's no way he would've abandoned her
unless he had no choice.
I always wondered if Mrs. Bethos,
the owner of the orphanage,
had something to do with it.
She believed that once a child was adopted out,
they should erase their time here,
and only ever look forward.
Do you think she blocked contact?
Possibly, who knows.

Evie? Come and play Grandmother's Footsteps.
Anika? Jasmyn! Wanna play?
Anyone?

Finally!
Oh, my surprise better be something amazing, Oliver!
Hi! Love the party hat, but who are you?

Dottie, we're back!
Where is she?
I hope the kids are okay.
Yay! You're back! I missed you.
We missed you, honey.
Oh, I love the hat!
Thanks. It's Dottie's birthday, so I made this.
Thank goodness you're here!
Dottie, we got your text. It sounded urgent.
What's wrong?
Oh, I didn't send you a text.
But I'm glad you're back.
There's someone very odd and very insistent
waiting for you in the living room,
and refusing to leave until they've spoken to you, Eric.
Wow.
Evie, honey. Would you please take Harry's things
up to your room?
Sure.
And maybe it's best to stay there until I call you.
Okay?
Okay.
Alright.
[baby cooing]
Hello?
Hello, Eric.
Florian? I thought she was part
of my birthday surprise but now, I'm not so sure.
[Ms. Lucas] I see you got my text.
Do you remember me?
Maria Martinez. How long has it been?
Right, a lifetime.
Mari! Wow! I wondered how-- where you were,
and how you've been doing all these years.
[mocking] Maria! I wondered how you were,
and where you've been all these years!
Well, you didn't try very hard to find out, did you?
What do you mean?
Shut up! Enough with the lies and empty promises.
I'm done strolling down a cobblestone memory lane.
Doesn't just break your heels,
it breaks your heart.
Now!
Stop!
Hey! Right there.
Florian, what are you doing?
He's with me.
I guess you should've taken him
off the face recognition system.
Florian, give the baby to me please.
He won't be hurt.
Maria. I'm sure--
I'm talking!
Florian, it's time.
[suspenseful music]
♪
What is that?
You were wondering what I've been doing
all these years, searching for this.
Maria, please!
Shush. I've been working on technology
that at first could only smulderize small brains.
But with this amber oscillator,
I can target a much wider area.
A household, a city,
maybe eventually an entire country.
Florian, are you filming this?
Yeah.

Stage one, was the Academy students' tiny brains.
Stage two, is an entire household.
Oh, and in case you're wondering,
yes, we are at stage two.
And my test is on you, Eric Hunter.
You and your perfect little family.
Now, where are the brats?
If you mean the children,
they've all gone out planning my birthday surprise.
Oliver, why aren't you picking up?
Ms. Spookis took Daniel to Orphan's Inc.
Jasmyn and I are on our way there now,
but if you don't hear from us in an hour,
please get help.
So, what's our plan when we get there?
Oliver?
No, unknown number.
"Hunter house now, family in danger. "
What?! Who do you think it's from?
I don't know, but we have to go!
But what about Daniel?
-He'll just have to wait. -But, what if it's a trap?
It's not, it's about Ms. Lucas targeting
the Hunter House, I'm sure of it, come on!
[Jasmyn] Okay!
Maria, let's talk about this.
There's nothing to say!
I guess the three of you then, will have to do.
How's this for a birthday surprise?
This is for abandoning me.
