I can't believe I agreed to this.
But it's my high school reunion and I'm not going by myself.
So who are you trying to impress?
What do you mean? Look, I get it.
I'm your celebrity arm candy. Or vaguely famous former jock
whose...eyes aren't the worst. So who is he?
Ex-boyfriend? You know what?
This is a bad idea. I don't think I'll go.
Coward. Egotist.
Hey, you're the one who brought up my amazing eyes.
Hey, Dad!
Hi, honey. Hi, Mr Shade.
Liam. Do you guys want some leftover Chinese?
- No, we're beat. - Yeah. Just gonna - turn in for the night. - Night.
Good night.
I can hear you seething from here.
Don't you try to change the subject. - Me? - Why are you so afraid?
of your high school reunion? I thought these people - were your friends? - Were!
I won't recognise half of them.
It was 20 years ago. I mean, what's the point?
The point is, a chance like this only comes along once in a lifetime.
A wise man once said, "You'll only truly regret the things you DIDN'T do."
(SIGHS) I don't know.
What's with the waffling? I was right about the ex, wasn't I?
It's not an ex. A bestie.
At least, she was my best friend until she wasn't, and...
girl breakups are the worst and the sting lasts forever.
You just survived a near-fatal gunshot.
I'm pretty sure you can handle this. Now come on, Everett. Carpe diem.
Seize the day. (SIGHS)
And there's a do-over prom?
You didn't tell me that. Is that a deal breaker?
Oh, hell no! That'll be cool! Uh... Why?
Oh, I never made it to my first one. Too unpopular.
By the time I was 17, I was already playing Junior.
Had to take my finals on the road. Well, I guess it's never too late.
Does this mean I have to buy you a corsage?
Don't push your luck.
(FAINT CHATTER)
Don't worry, I promise to be on my best behaviour.
That's what I'm afraid of.
So bitter. So cynical.
It's really hard to dance with two broken legs.
My God, it smells the same! Yeah, all high schools do.
It's that toxic cocktail of sweat, hormones and body spray.
Good old 203. Man, if that baby could talk.
What would it say? Next time you go on March break,
don't leave half a cheeseburger in me.
Pretty ripe, huh? Yeah.
Could have walked out on its own.
Even more embarrassing was when I opened it,
I got hit with an exploding paint bomb.
My face was half blue for days.
Who would pull a nasty prank like that?
Every class has one practical joker.
Maz! Looking sharp, my man! Thank you.
I, uh, found this in my car. Ange, heard you got shot.
Welcome to the club. You didn't tell me you were coming.
Well, I just closed a big case in Montreal. Spent nearly a year undercover.
- Impressive. - Un petit peu. Anyway, so I had a little downtime,
Figured a high school reunion is a perfect palate cleanser.
I always forget you two went to high school together.
Yeah, it's cos I look a lot younger than her.
You wish. - As if. - Don't even.
Just like old times.
Except for my fear of showering after gym class.
Thinking of showering... (SNIFFS) Smells like cologne.
Did you happen to know a certain Madame Michaud was gonna be here?
She is? That's great. Cool. Who's Madame Michaud?
Former French teacher that someone had a massive crush on.
Hey, Angie, you should check out the trophy case in the athletic department.
I'm pretty sure that it is still there.
- What is? - Nothing. She didn't tell you?
No. Just let it go. Skip it, OK?
Hey. Madame Michaud. Like, actually. What? That's not her.
I don't even think that... I'll go check, but I don't think...
Let's get our name tags. Let's get a drink.
♪ There is no secret
♪ I couldn't keep it
♪ It's so obvious...
Oh, Maz... # Promises apart
Oh, is that Zack? Wow, he really...graduated.
Was that the ex? Would you stop?
Oh, my God! (LAUGHS) Angelina Everett! Is that you?
Hello!
Tiffany, it's great to see you. Oh, you look amazing!
I hear that you're a private detective now, huh?
Oh, my God! How thrilling! (LAUGHS)
And this must be Mr Everett? Why yes, it is!
And I am just thrilled to be out of the house.
Usually, I'm chained to the stove.
(LAUGHING) Come on!
Excuse us. (LAUGHS)
I have never felt so marginalised.
Why don't you shut up and behave? Oh, come on!
The fun is just beginning.
Oh, dear. Who's that? The ex-bestie?
Why did I let you talk me into this?
Ange... Long time no see. Jada.
Hi. I'm Matt Shade. - Jada Berry. - Hey.
Angie, I'm so glad you came.
There's something that I've been wanting to -(ALL SHRIEK)
"You'll pay for what you've done." Wow. Just like I said,
the fun IS just beginning.
♪ I see you and you see me
♪ Watch you blowing the lines

(LOW CHATTER)
"You're gonna pay for what you've done."
Written in glow-in-the-dark paint.
So somebody blew the lights on purpose.
Somebody with a dramatic flair. Maybe it was just a prank.
Maz... What? Oh, I'm offended.
And I'm suspicious.
O ye of little faith.
You've been a janitor here this whole time, huh?
Custodian. Right.31 years.
Phew! So what you think blew the lights, a power surge?
Yeah. But it wasn't an accident. Somebody's been at this panel.
Oh yeah. That looks like a wireless trigger.
You kids never grow up, do you, Mr Mazhari?
You think I'm behind this?
I haven't forgotten about that family of skunks
in the principal's office. Took me days to get rid of that smell.
I'm sorry, but this was not me.
The emerg power's back on.
I'll start replacing the overheads.
Like I didn't have enough to do already.
Yeah, but I... I didn't do this.
Yeah, yeah. I'm a...
I'm a detective inspector in charge of special...task forces.
All the work that I have put into organising this reunion,
- and now this. - You think someone's targeting the reunion?
- And me. - Why you?
Because I deserve it. Back in the day, I was a bit of a mean girl,
did some things I wasn't proud of.
Angie, I hope you know it was never personal.
Felt personal.
My parents got divorced my senior year
and home life was...messy.
You never said anything. Oh, I was too embarrassed.
It's crazy, I know, but everything just feels
so much worse when you're a teenager.
School was the only place that I felt I had control.
And all the stuff that I was going through, I just...
I guess I just took it out on everyone else.
Jay, I wish you would have said something.
I know. Can you forgive me?
Well, I was the one who shut you out, so...
OK, so we were both idiots.
I can live with that. (CHUCKLES)
I mean, the weird thing is I ended up teaching here,
and now I'm principal, so...if that isn't karma...
OK. So, I talked to the janitor who still hates me, by the way.
He says the lights were cut by remote.
- You swear? - Yes!
I'm more sophisticated than that.
Yeah, like the time you wallpapered the teachers' lounge
with photos of animals being romantic.
Yeah. Well, that was protest art and my suspension was overturned.
Oh, there's Josh Carbon. Do you remember him?
Oh, the spoiled rich kid. He's a lot richer now.
Carbon ScienceTech. Made a bundle
in early cell phone software,
and now he's into cutting-edge VR.
Wow! That's him? He must be worth - A lot.
But he believes in giving back. He's, uh...
He's here to set up a scholarship fund
and he's donating a new VR science - lab to the school. - Wow.
With all the budget cutbacks, we're on the bubble.
There's talk of closing us down and incorporating my students into Regional High.
- What? It's terrible. - I hated those bastards from Regional High.
But with a high-profile donor, we might keep the doors open.
That is why I need this weekend to go off without a hitch.
Maz, you're a cop now.
Actually, a detective inspector in charge of special task forces.
And Angie's a hotshot PI with a famous partner.
Professional partner. Uh, strictly business.
Well, I-I need all your help
to find out who's behind this and make it stop.
Can you think of anyone who would have it out for you?
Well, I...jotted down some names.
Oh, I better go check on Josh, make sure he's not freaked out.
I don't want him pulling that new VR lab.
My kids are really counting on me. All 400 of them.
Well, what do you say we split up,
see if we can figure out who's behind this?
Maz, take Geoff. Shade, find Christine.
I'll look for Zack. (TINNY POP MUSIC)
Hey, Geoff. - Oh, hi. Kurtis. - Wow, 20 years, huh?
You clean up real good. Far cry from those moth-eaten shirts
and ratty sneakers I used to wear, huh?
Yeah. Hmm... Oh, geez, are those Italian?
Custom-made. You like?
Like? Yes. Afford? Not so much.
So you're still a cop?
Well, I'm...detective inspector in charge of special task forces,
so it's kind of, you know...
You're a doctor? Paediatrician in Ottawa.
All those senators' brats. Not bad for a kid
who had sandwiches every day.
Nice to rub it in people's faces around here, huh?
Only those who deserve it. Mm-hm. Mm-hm.
- And Jada? - We both went to public school.
Then in senior year, she cold-shoulders me.
Not good enough to be her friend. Rude.
She actually tried to apologise today.
I told her, too little, too late. Yeah, you did. Yeah.
Did you see the weird warning in the auditorium?
Yeah. Someone's got a bizarre sense of humour.
Yeah. Thing is...it wasn't there when Jada locked up last night,
so whoever did it, did it after the auditorium opened this morning.
Hang on. You think I had something - to do with that? - No, I just -
My flight from Ottawa got delayed.
I only got here just before the lights went out.
- OK. - If you ask me, Jada is the one who needs an alibi.
What better way to ease her guilty conscience
than by playing the victim?
Yeah. That tracks, sure. Good to see you, Geoff.
♪ At the end of a long, long day
♪ There is not much more to say
♪ Than love
♪ I'm so glad I met you...
(CHUCKLES) I didn't know I had - an audience. - Zack, right?
Angelina Everett. Yeah, I remember.
Looks like this reunion got off to a rocky start, huh?
I'd say someone had a strange sense of humour.
You think it was a joke? What else?
I heard your song on the radio. I like it.
Hey, thanks. Yeah, it's, uh... It's getting some good airplay.
OK, I actually have your first two CDs.
You're a fan? OK, well, that's wild.
You've come a long way from flunking Mr Aaron's music class.
Yeah. Oh, my God, do you remember - his breath? - Ugh, I do, yeah.
Salami and cigarettes. It's actually why I gave up the flute.
That doesn't really go with the PI image.
I looked you up before I came. Should I be flattered or creeped out?
I mean, truthfully, I always had - a crush on you. - Really?
You never did anything about it. Well, come on, I was much too shy.
Besides, someone like you wouldn't have looked twice at Zack Zitface.
Oh, God! Jada gave you that nickname, didn't she?
Ha! Yeah, I mean, she wasn't the only one that made my life miserable.
Something like that can really wear a person down.
You know, truthfully, I put all that emotion in my music.
now I'm on another European tour. So, I should thank everyone who made my teen years a living hell.
(LAUGHS)
Especially Jada. Why especially Jada?
Well, cos she's the one who organised the reunion.
Brought us all back together. Yeah.
Seeing you is all the reunion I need.
Maybe you're not so shy after all.
It's Christine, right? - Yeah. - Wow.
Look at all those fresh faces. Yeah. And look at them now.
Who would have guessed that Karen Maker would lose 150 pounds?
Or Steve Pickman with that ponytail.
And he's bald now. 20 years will change a person.
Yeah. I don't even recognise half these people anymore.
Like you, for instance.
Ah... I am here as Angie Everett's date.
I remember her. She was pretty.
Yeah, she still is. She was nice to me.
Not all the pretty girls were nice. Really? Girls like Jada?
Jada was a real teacher's pet. She ratted me out,
said that I faked sick notes. Well, that's not cool.
No, uh... I learned to steer clear of her and...everyone else.
Aw, kids can be cruel. Like that writing on the wall.
Even though it was 20 years ago, seems like someone has a grudge.
Any idea who that might be? Take your pick.
I wouldn't put that prank past anyone.
What makes you think it's a prank?
There were a lot of idiots in my year,
and although people get older and balder, jerks will always be jerks.
So why come to this reunion?
Maybe to see if I've changed.
♪ I'm here for you
♪ I got what you need, baby
Hey, did you find anything? Oh, hi. No.
No, no, not really.
What's going on? Nothing. No. Uh, Maz is here.
Yeah. I thought I had a solid lead,
but Geoff's flight alibi checks out.
Oh! You're finally taking it in? We don't have time for this.
I think we can make time. Well, look who's front and centre!
Our very own Angelina Everett. I didn't know you were a cheerleader.
I'm gonna kill you, Mazhari. What was the cheer again?
(We sparkle, so you can shine.) - Sorry? - Did you hear that? You don't whisper.
You belt - We sparkle, so you can shine!
Just get back to the investigation! We sparkle, so you can shine!
OK, I gotta go talk to more people and hopefully find Madame Michaud.
Excuse me.
We need to update Jada. Yes, we do.
(LOW CHATTER)
Angie! It's been too long! - Josh! How are you? - Good.
- This is Matt. - Shade. I've been following your career for years.
It's a very generous thing you're - doing. - Thank you. Thank you.
You gotta pay it forward. This place made me.
Any progress, Ange? Uh, no. Um,
everybody in the list checks out.
Great. I'm about to give the welcome speech,
so hopefully, there are no more...incidents.
(FIRE ALARM RINGS)
(COUGHING)
(FIRE ALARM STOPS)
Another prank? Yeah. It's just a smoke bomb.
"Your time is up."
(DOOR OPENS)
You OK? Yeah, fine. We lost him.
Or her.
Christine was wearing earrings like this in the cafeteria.
Christine did this? Well, I guess you never know.
We've been looking everywhere. We can't find her.
You can't do the speech.
You're obviously still a target. He's right. It's not safe.
I'm not gonna let her ruin this reunion.
This is crazy. No, I'll be fine.
OK, but I'm gonna stay up here just to keep an eye out.
Yeah. Maz and I will be in the audience.
Thank you. (CLEARS THROAT)
Good afternoon, Pleasant Valley graduates!
It is my pleasure to officially welcome you
to your reunion! (CHEERING)
And as I look out on all these familiar faces,
I have to say that you are the lucky ones.
You got out. I'm still here.
(LAUGHTER)
And while this reunion is about looking back on our past with nostalgia,
it is also about looking forward to our future.
And I cannot wait to catch up with...every single one of you,
to hear about all the amazing things that you've been up to.
But speaking of "amazing",
I'd like to bring up an old classmate of yours and mine,
Josh Carbon. (CHEERING)
Josh, I want to thank you for setting up a scholarship fund
and donating a new VR science lab to the school!
Josh. (CHEERING)
Thank you very much.
I'm so thrilled to be able to give back.
Without the education and inspiration
that I received here at Pleasant Valley,
I wouldn't be where I am today. This is our opportunity...
No, it's our responsibility
to honour our past by investing in our future.
Thank you very much. (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Thank you, Josh. We have a spectacular lineup of events...
No sign of Christine yet. So far, so good.
As far as I can tell, she hasn't shown.
Same here, I got nothing. I would say to drink responsibly,
but we all know that that's not gonna happen.(LAUGHTER)
So after the mixer, we're all gonna have...
Ah, that's the French teacher, Madame Michaud.
Keep it down. She's not the French... She's just...
Her name is Sophie, OK? And she's not my teacher anymore.
She's just an adult human, and so am I.
And... I heard she went through a recent divorce,
and that's tough because marriage is not for everybody.
OK. All right. None of your business, really.
Fine, I got it, I got it. And now,
it is time for us to make some new memories.
And I am so happy and proud to declare
the Pleasant Valley 20th Reunion officially open!
(WHOOPING AND CHEERING)
(SCREAMS)
Excuse me. Get out of the way. Get out of the way.
It's Christine.
She's dead.
(WHISTLE BLOWS)
Until the coroner gets here... Thanks, Geoff. Uh, Doctor.
Hey. What are you doing?
She's wearing a wig.
Hey, Angie, come here a second.
Who does that look like to you?
- Wanda? - Yes, that's it. I couldn't remember. That's Wanda Fadden.
But with a wig and glasses? And Christine's name tag.
I don't understand. Why the disguise?
So she could sabotage the reunion and we'd blame Christine?
Why would Wanda be out to get you?
I don't know. She was always in the science lab. I barely knew her.
How did she get up in that net anyway?
There's a ceiling vent above it.
Wanda must have gone up on the roof to try to escape
and fallen in the vent. Why didn't she cry out for help?
Knocked unconscious on the way down?
Oh, my God! When I released the balloons -
No, stop. You did not cause her death.
We need to get up on that roof.
Hey!
Hey! Hey! (GROANS)
Rob? The janitor. Custodian.
What are you doing up here? It wasn't me.
What wasn't you? I was just out on the roof to look for my tools.
Then why the hood and the mad dash?
I came up yesterday to clean up - one of the A/ - C units,
remembered I left these up here.
- So? - After I heard about that woman, Wanda, falling through the vent,
I didn't want to get blamed for it.
I was in the basement working on the generator when that happened.
Can you show us the vent?
This is the air vent that feeds into the auditorium.
(BEEPING) There's the garbage truck.
I gotta go wheel out the dumpsters.
Someone broke this lock and ripped this open.
This was no accident.
This was murder.
- In the balloon net? - Yeah. It's a first for me too.
Hey, once the coroner is done here, we need to get the body out of here.
I've made arrangements.
And check all the guests for priors. Yeah, that's in process.
I'm the detective in charge. It's old habits.
I was her senior before, but she's clearly got it all.
And you know to - Check the roof.
- I got it. Yeah. - See?
Probably want to send a forensics - team up there. - Because...?
We don't think she fell through the vent.
Excuse me, detectives.
I found traces of phosphorus and paint on her fingers.
So she DID write the warnings! Here's the kicker.
Victim shows signs of petechial haemorrhaging
and her hyoid bone is broken. So she was strangled.
I'll know more when we get her on the table, but one thing's for sure.
she was dead before she fell into the net.
I can't believe this.
- I'm so sorry. - I've had to put the school on lockdown.
I put the school on lockdown. This isn't a murder investigation,
but we need statements from - everybody. - Bottom line is,
no-one leaves until they give - a statement.I just said that. - I think I said it better.
It's not a contest.
(LOW CHATTER)
- Hey. - Hey. Oh, my God! That poor woman was really Wanda?
Yeah, I'm afraid so. You know, I used to know her,
but with the wig and glasses...
I didn't recognise her either. I do remember once, though,
she was crying in the stairwell.
Do you remember if she said what was wrong?
Yeah. It was everything.
And then she just ran off and we never spoke again.
Till today. What did she say today?
She said to be sure to be there for Jada's welcome-back speech.
She said she was gonna lay a bombshell on the crowd.
She didn't happen to mention what? No. She just grinned and said
she didn't wanna ruin the surprise.
Whatever that means. I think it means that Wanda knew a secret that got her killed.
Wanda may have had dirt on someone. And was going to expose them in public.
- Jada? - No. No, this feels bigger than just a high school grudge.
So what are we talking about here? Blackmail? Extortion?
Doesn't feel like a palate cleanser. (PHONE TRILLS)
Hey, Zoe. I found the real Christine Lipinski.
On a beach in Waikiki sipping Mai Tais.
She hasn't had any contact with Wanda, either in school or out.
Wanda must have known that Christine would be on vacation. Yeah, it's all over her social.
So why would Wanda need to disguise herself as someone else?
Maybe she new that if she was seen as Wanda,
she'd be stopped from carrying out her plan.
Stopped by somebody at this reunion.
Sounds to me like Wanda was afraid of one of her classmates.
Turns out she had good reason to be.
Seal up the exits, make sure no-one leaves.
- Monsieur Mazhari! - Oh. Hi.
Call me Maz. Or, uh, Kurtis.
Sophie. Yeah. Yeah.
It's so sad to hear what happened to that poor lady.
Yeah, it really is. Did you know her well?
No more than any former student. I lost touch with so many.
I had no idea that you were a policeman now.
Oh. Yeah. Well, detective in charge of special task forces.
Oh. It's not...
Undercover stuff. Kind of hush-hush, you know.
That sounds very dangerous. - Well, it's what I do. - Hmm.
Geoff, you submit a proposal,
I'll have a member of my team get back to you.
You got it. Hey, guys.
Did either of you ever hear from - Wanda after graduation? - No.
Can you think of anyone who would want to hurt her?
No. Not at all. Don't think we ever spoke.
She was always so quiet. Like she was... Invisible.
Yeah.
Ah... Well, yearbook photos are never the most flattering.
What are you talking about? Look at that hair! Come on!
That is a caterpillar on his way to becoming this butterfly.
Yeah. A butterfly, it's exactly how I picture you.
Well, still no Wanda.
She wasn't part of any clubs or on any sports teams.
No. From what I recall, she pretty much kept to herself.
She liked science, I know that. Oh, here she is.
"Most likely to get married to a computer."
Well, who are we to judge? Hm...
Wanda didn't have any ID on her, no credit card, no wallet.
They must be somewhere.
Along with something that might tell us who she was targeting?
With no classes in session, all I'm getting are leaky pens and...
rolling papers. Ah, that takes me back.
The leaky pens, I mean.
Hey, if school is out, why is there a lock on that one?
here's the glow-in-the-dark paint. What else is in there?
Is that...her old science notebook?
That's an odd thing to bring to a reunion.
And look. Wanda and Josh. Oh, young love, that's sweet.
Why did Josh tell us he barely remembered her?
So what? I'd expect to see a lot of reunion searches on Wanda's computer.
Yeah, but she was digging down pretty deep
on one classmate in particular - Josh Carbon.
The hi-tech software guy? Guru more like it.
I actually own one of his company's VR headsets.
It's pretty cool stuff. Players get to design their own avatars.
Mine is a Flame Empress, inspired by Yandi - As interesting as that is, Zoe,
was Wanda looking at anyone else? No.
All Josh, all the time. It's like she was obsessed.
OK. Thanks.
- Hey. - Hey. - I'm looking for Josh. - Yeah, me too.
I think he just finished giving his statement. We might be able to catch him outside.
(ENGINE REVVING) MAN: Help!
Oh, my God! (COUGHING)
Help me!
It won't budge!
Get back!
(CAR ALARM WAILS) (COUGHING)
Run! Run!
(CHATTER AND SIRENS)
Someone crowbarred their way into the chem lab.
This hazardous-materials locker's been broken into.
Are you saying that someone made the bomb here?
Remember when Dwayne McAlstrum blew up a frog
using potassium chloride and sugar? - Yeah. - Where is this Dwayne now?
Oh, he became a monk. In Tibet. So he's probably not
a psychotic revenger killer. Yeah. Oh, the bomb squad is also sweeping the parking lot.
So what are we dealing with? Did someone kill Wanda because they thought she was Christine?
Or was Wanda the intended victim? But then why was Josh targeted?
For all we know, your entire graduating class is on a hit list.
Man, I can't thank you guys enough.
Did you know that Wanda was - trolling you online? - What? No.
My office said she'd been trying to get hold of me
but my schedule's insane. I just figured we'd meet up at the reunion.
- And did you? - No.
With the glasses and the wig, I didn't even recognise her.
So this doesn't mean that you two had a thing?
No. We never...
(SIGHS) I think I barely said two words to her ever.
I'm afraid that stuff was just... all in her mind.
So why WAS Wanda trying to get in touch with you?
I've no idea. (SIREN CHIRPS)
Maybe she was trying to warn me about someone. Seems like I'm the next target.
So... Cheerleader and reporter for the high school newspaper, huh?
I've always had the utmost respect for the integrity of journalism.
Plus the editor was hot. Oh.
Still not seeing any connection between Wanda and Josh.
Me neither.
Josh's family had money, prestige,
but I remember Wanda was from the other side of the tracks.
And yet somebody had it in for both of them.
Ah... You find something?
I'll say. A photo of YOU as Juliet.
Oh, yeah. Drama club too.
Guys, why would Wanda bring her old notebook to the reunion?
Maybe she was collecting autographs. Why would SHE care?
Those people weren't her friends. Something else, then.
For...maybe something science-y? Chem lab?
Wanda made the bomb? Hey. Hold on.
Now you're saying Wanda's the killer? She got murdered!
I know. It's crazy,
But do you think that any of the formulas in this notebook
could be a recipe for a bomb? There's only one way to find out.
This could put me on the radar for several frightening federal agencies!
Just back from the lab. One crowbar and one pair of rubber gloves.
Both found stashed behind the school.
Does the crowbar match the scratches - on the chem-lab door? - You got it.
MAZ: The lab also matched the rust on the crowbar
- on the rooftop vent. - Maz!
Nobody changed the passcode on my old extension.
I will now. Guys, what about the gloves?
They're covered in traces of potassium chlorate, sucrose and sodium.
Which can be found in any - school chemistry class. - Maz!
What? I am trying to help.
You think I need help? Ahem. The point is,
we're talking bomb making 101 here. I was never offered that class!
OK. I'm up to my eyeballs in witness statements here.
Maz, if you want to be helpful, do you want to come over?
You know what, you got this. I believe in you. Go get 'em.
OK. Shade and Angie, I'm gonna send - you the report. - Thanks.
OK, so we have a socially challenged science geek
who's harbouring romantic feelings for her former classmate
who she's stalking online. So Wanda DID make the bomb.
Might explain why she hid her identity. (CHIMING)
Lab results. Any prints on the crowbar?
No, but the notes say it could have been contaminated in the dumpster.
- The dumpster? - Yeah. According to this, that's where the cops found it
- with the gloves. - The dumpsters behind the school?
When we were on the roof with the janitor... Custodian.
-..we heard the garbage truck. - Right. That's why he said he had to leave.
But if the dumpsters were emptied after Wanda was killed,
she couldn't have made the bomb.
Guys, Wanda's notebook...
Please, tell me you found the recipe for the bomb.
No, but...
See this equation here? When I punch it into a search engine,
I get this page. Wait, look at this schematic.
It's exactly the same as what Wanda drew in her book.
Yeah. It's a low-power transistor miniaturised for use
in mobile devices. But check this out.
It was patented 19 years ago. And look at the name on the patent.
Carbon ScienceTech. That's Josh's company.
Who originally made their mark with mobile devices - phones, tablets.
If Josh and Wanda had a professional relationship,
why didn't he tell us about it?
Because I think we just found the motive for Wanda's murder.
(BELL RINGING) We are live-streaming this
to all the students and alumni and recording it
for those who can't be here in person.
(LOW TECHNO MUSIC PLAYING) Yo. Hey!
(APPLAUSE)
I hope you don't mind, but after yesterday,
I brought my own security.
Not necessary. I'm here!
I really appreciate all this. It's very impressive.
And we know it's a passion project - of yours. - Yes, it is. And...
it's all for the kids.
Even though the rest of the reunion is cancelled,
it didn't seem right to delay the unveiling.
I just hope that this lab inspires a younger generation of entrepreneurs.
If you will, step with me into the future.
Who's ready to have their mind blown? I was tired of the old brain anyway.
(LAUGHS) OK. Now, I've uploaded my own avatar in here, but I can do the same for you.
Actually, my friend Zoe already uploaded mine
to your online site. I've already been practising my moves.
Really?
OK. Are you ready to do battle? Sure.
You, uh, ready to be taken down?
All right, you guys, let the games begin.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
(GROANS)
(PANTING)
Ha-ha!
(BOTH GRUNTING)
(CLANG OF BLADES)
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Nicely done, Angie. How about best two out of three?
Wanda? What the hell...?
Did you really think you could silence me?
If this is some kind of joke... The technology is amazing. So lifelike.
You built your company on an idea that you stole from me.
I invented a low-power transistor, but you're the one who patented it!
- What are you talking about? - You took advantage of my crush on you,
so you could steal my invention and cheat me out of a fortune.
You ruined my life! You're not Wanda!
No, but that was her voice
pulled from various deposition recordings.
20 years in VR, and video deepfakes
have caught up to voice tech.
And Wanda's name is nowhere on that patent!
For years, she tried to get you to do the right thing,
but you'd styled yourself as a tech guru, a visionary.
If anybody found out that your empire
was built on a lie, your stock price would crumble faster than your ego.
You're gonna pay for this. Wanda's warnings were meant for you.
This is crazy. My lawyer is gonna have a field day with this. You've got nothing.
We have more than you think.
Wanda filed a lawsuit, but it was thrown out.
Then you slapped her with a restraining order.
Who'd believe her word against that of a tech giant?
You said yourself, Josh, you're not an easy man to get to,
so Wanda came here to the reunion to finally face you in person.
Excuse me. I am the victim here.
If you'll recall, someone tried to blow me up!
But you had no intention of settling with Wanda. You came here to kill her.
When forensics pulls DNA from these gloves, who's gonna be a match?
We were getting close to the truth, so you booby-trapped your own car to draw suspicion away.
- No. - We already know that Wanda created the technology
- for the transistor. - And now you're facing a murder rap, so the judge won't dismiss the case.
Josh Carbon, you're under arrest for the murder of Wanda Fadden.
Come on...
Angie, we grew up together. - You know me. - Apparently not.
I guess people do change. Sometimes, not for the better.
OK. OK.
♪ One, you're like a dream come true
♪ Two, just wanna be with you
♪ Three, because it's plain to see
♪ That you're the only one for me...
You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine over here. I got the meats and cheeses.
I don't need to dance. What's the big deal about dancing?
Hey. Hands at 10 and 2, Shade, huh?
Slim, wanna leave room for Jesus?
You know he's never gonna stop. You were right about that.
OK. So, not exactly the fancy do-over prom we were all expecting.
No, this is perfect. Perfect if you have a date.
I think I know what we all need. Please.
Angie, I wanna thank you for everything. Both of you.
For the school, for my students. Thank you.
Yeah, forget it. What are old friends for?
- You're welcome. - I do hope that I'll be seeing more of you from now on.
I think that can be arranged.
I'm glad we reconnected. Yeah. Me too.
I have decided to rededicate the VR lab to its true visionary,
Wanda Fadden. That's really nice.
She would have really loved that.
- To old friends. - And new ones.

♪ It's plain to see
♪ That you're the only one for me
What? Hey.
- Oh! Uh... Hi. - I hope you don't mind me crushing your prom.
No. Let me get you a drink. Hang on. Um... All right, thank you.
Yeah, there's more. There you go.
You know, I have a bit of a confession to make.
You always had a crush on me. Was it that obvious?
- Mm-hmm. I'm French. - Touche.
(LAUGHS) You know, obviously I've never said that before
because you were married and I was 18.
Not to mention that a relationship between a teacher and a student...
- Inappropriate.Uh-huh. - Yeah. But that was then. This is now.
Mm-hm. And you're an adult
and I'm divorced.
Yes, there's still a bit of an age difference, but...
Uh, it's like the French say, uh...
Vive... Vive la... - Difference. - Difference.
(LAUGHS) C minus. All right.
You know, you should put on one of your songs.
I thought you'd never ask.

What?
Even if I could time-travel back to my high school self
and show him this moment, I don't think he'd believe it.
- Come on. - Zack Zitface is sharing this booth
and this glass of wine with his favourite Starlite cheerleader.
I mean, that's not in his wildest dreams.
But YOU'RE the one who's the star. A new hit song.
Another overseas tour. You have adoring fans all over the world.
Maybe, but, uh...you know what? A boy never forgets his first crush.
♪ Till you are the one
You don't think your job is dangerous? Didn't Angie just get shot recently?
Yeah, but most cases are pretty routine.
To be honest, we hardly ever get shot at.
For me, once... Once would be enough.
Luckily, Everett is a tough nut to crack.
Yeah, don't I know it. Mm-hm.
You guys make a great team. Professional team.
Hm. Are you sure about that?
(CHUCKLES)
Absolutely.
You know, I can't help but feel like a bit of a sixth wheel around here.
I never went to Pleasant Valley High.
How would you like to become an honorary graduate?
- You can do that? - I am the principal, I can do anything.
(CHUCKLES) You will have to fulfil certain criteria first.
That sounds pretty official. Very.
I'd need you to study up on Pleasant Valley's founders,
understand its history. Hmm... I don't know about that.
History was never my strong suit.
Ooh... Then we do have a problem. Hm. What about a private tutor,
someone who could work with me late into the night?
Would you happen to know someone who might be interested
in helping me with that?
