[Sal] What do you mean, Nika's gone?
[Evie] I looked everywhere.
[Oliver] Maybe she fell out of bed.
You know, rolled underneath.
Oh! What is this?
[Evie] Mr. Bear?
It says, "Play me."
[Anika on recording] Hi, guys, Dottie's like
a total brain invader, and I can't sleep.
I need answers, so I'm gonna go speak to her.
Don't worry about me. I'm okay.
But... I'll need you to cover for me with Kate and Erik.
I'm going after her.
No! Ollie, look...
I understand that you wanna help Nika. I do, too.
But we can't possibly understand what
she's going through right now.
You know, she has to do this on her own.
You're right.
[Sal] We should go to Magpie's.
He might have some old photo equipment.
Yeah, maybe we could check out his shoe size
while we're there.
[crowd chatter]
Hi. I'm Erik Hunter.
We know that.
Good morning, boys.
Erik is practicing his speech for today.
Oh. Yeah. Ah.
Oh!
Watch out for these cables.
I'm begging you for information
about the robbery.
Um, what if this appeal doesn't work?
I mean, oh, I shouldn't be leaving you guys
to deal with all this.
Maybe I should... skip the whole London trip.
And break Jake's heart?
No, honey, you have to take him to London.
We promised.
[Evie] Good morning, guys.
Hi.Whoa! Oh!
Who put these here?
Oh!
[Rex] Knock knock.
Rex, oh-- oof!
Ooh, ah, we are so grateful
for all the help.
This is such a huge favor.
Don't give it another thought.
Erik, Kate, this is Jolice, my personal assistant.
Jolice, Erik and Kate Hunter.
And of course, the Hunter superkids.
When I heard about your situation,
I insisted on helping out.
I used to come here when I was a kid,
and I loved it.
Oh, thank you.
It's so-- Oh, no, no, no...
Could you take care of this?
I'm so sorry, Rex.
Oh, is that the speech?
Ooh, yeah, well, I'm still working on it.
With words like these, you might end up with your own show.
Really? No.[both whistling]
[deep voice] "Hi, I'm Erik Hunter."
[mimics deep voice] "Hi, I'm Erik Hunter."
[Kate] Uh, where are you guys going?
Uh... [nervous chuckle]
We're going on a mission.
What mission?
A space mission.
Yes.
Well, be quick.
Yes, we need you back here in an hour.
All right.
And... where's Anika?
Um...
She went on ahead.
Yeah, exactly.
Like a robo-scout...
with fake fur. See ya.
[Dottie] I told you never to come back here!
[Markus] Dottie, please.
[Dottie] No. No!
I put this in the window to ward off negative forces,
and you are definitely one of those!
No!
[Dottie] You're playing with fire!
I-I cannot...[camera whirring]
...and I will not allow that curse back into my life
or Oliver's!
I have to protect him at all costs.
That's what I'm trying to do.
Listen to me.No, no, Markus.
[Dottie] We did a terrible thing.
We could go to jail.
We had a pact, remember?!
♪♪
What was that?
Hi, Magpie.
Sal.
And... other boy.
Oh, uh, yeah, this is Oliver, my...
colleague.
A pleasure to meet you.
I know for a fact
Sal has great taste in colleagues.
Oh. Thank you.
So, what can I do for you?
Information or items?
A bit of both, actually.
We were just wondering if, um...
Can I take a look at these shoes?
Why?
Uh, well, you know, um...
Anika and I have been telling Oliver
all about you and how great you are.
But since Oliver's just naturally cautious,
you know, he, uh...
he told us to never, um...
to-- never to judge a man
until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
And he wants to walk a mile in my shoes?
Uh, yeah, yeah. I guess.
[Magpie] So, how do they feel?
Uh, a bit loose and floppy.
I think the full mile may be a challenge.
[laughing]
A bit eccentric. I like him.
So, was that the information or the item?
That was the information.
The item is-- Do you have photography equipment?
Some of that like old-school developing stuff?
Let me think.
Um, I've got some old processing equipment.
I'll have to go see if it still works.
Let me go see, okay?
Yep, thank you, Magpie.
What was wrong with just asking to see his shoes?
It's a little weird.And this isn't?
Check his size.
This is size clown.
These are definitely not the same as the footprints
we saw in the forest.Check it!
Okay.
47.
Okay, that means that Magpie's
off the suspect list.
[Magpie] Hey, you guys are in luck.
It works.Yes.
But you'll need a man and a van.
Oh, we can just carry it.
Not unless you've seriously been working out.
That stuff's heavy.Oh.
You'll need a van.We don't have one.
[sighs] I suppose I can make
an extra delivery tomorrow morning.
Thank you.We really appreciate it.
And I don't have to walk a mile in these shoes
to know that you're a very nice man.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
Bye, guys.

[Dottie on recording] ...go to jail.

You might wanna pull back on that a bit.
Otherwise I'm gonna start calling you Anaconda.

Oh...
Hey, what happened?
♪♪
So frustrating about the photo!
Yeah, but staying positive.
At least we can spend the whole day
trying to solve the riddle.
Hey, Sal.
What is this big screen doing here?
It's a blue screen.
Yeah, I can see it's a blue screen.Oh, no.
It's a piece of video equipment.
It can make you look like you're anywhere
in the whole universe.
They do it with special effects.Cool.
What? And the fake trees?
What do they have to do with the museum?
[Rex] They're a prop.
We're going for the "jungular," so to speak.
Oh, so the blue screen is the ruins.
Yeah, every "Legend Seeker" starts with Rex
doing his intro in the jungle in front of the ruins.
It's amazing. Looks so cool.
So it's fake?The intro, yes.
The adventures? Never.
Rex? Hey, guys.
Um, I need you for rehearsal.
[Rex] Okay, yeah.
Um, Mr. Legend?
While we've got you, uh, we found
another, um... poem.
Oh.
Rex?
[whispering] We really have to go.
Do you have a minute?Sure.
Where did you get it?
Well, Markus got a little careless.
He left his bag lying around.
And inside it was the missing riddlestone.
And the riddle.I'm impressed.
And very envious of your adventures.
Can I see?
Yeah.
"I'm a hiding place where nothing is hidden.
"A home for sticks, but stones are forbidden.
"Nurture my children, they shall grow tall.
The fruits of my labor lie within these walls"?
Okay.
So, what does it mean?
I don't know.
You're the whiz kids. You tell me.
Mind if I take a picture?
Uh, yeah, sure.
[camera shutter clicks]
So sorry to interrupt, guys,
but, Rex, time is moving on.
Oh, sure. Guys, sorry.
Need to get this in the can.
[camera shutter clicks]Erik, kids, showtime!
Hey, why did you take a photo, too?
Think about it.
Where have all the objects been so far?
In and around the Forest House.
Who's at the Forest House right now? Anika.
So, if I sent this to her, then...
Anika's where?
We could go to jail.
We had a pact, remember?!
Dottie knows Markus?
Wow. So, what do you think
they were arguing about?
I don't know.
But it's giving me serious second thoughts
on the whole "Mommy, why did you give me up?" confrontation plan.
Markus is dangerous.
What if Dottie is, too?
I mean, she said something about them going to jail.
Why?
[phone ringing]
It's Kate.
[phone ringing]
Hi, Kate.
Hi, Nika. Where are you?
Uh, just hanging out.
Hanging out where?
Hey, Nika, uh...
say hi to Jasmyn for us.
And I hope Tammy's feeling better.
Huh?
Oh. Yeah. Uh...
The boys didn't tell you? Tammy got sick.
So I panicked.
I came here because Jasmyn knows...
tortoise first aid.
Oh, oh. Hi...
Mrs. Hunter.
It's okay. Just...
tortoise blues.
I think Tammy was missing me.
Well, okay then.
But Nika, really, you should have told us
before you left.
And you were supposed to be here for the appeal.
The appeal.
I forgot. I'm so sorry.
Well, it's okay.
But make sure you get home before dark, okay?
Oh, wait, can I talk to Nika?
Sal wants to talk to you.
[Erik] Where do you need us?
I'm so nervous.
I know. There's no need to be.
Um, over here, please.Oh.
Hey, how'd it go?
I haven't done it yet.
I couldn't find Dottie.
Well, I'm gonna send you the riddle.
Me and Oliver are trying to figure it out,
but maybe you and Jasmyn...
Can solve it 'cause we're so smart?
Can look around for clues...
'cause you're so smart.
Okay. Will do. Bye.

Hi, I'm Rex Legend.
And welcome to a special edition of "Legend Seekers."
Today I'm searching for a very special lost treasure,
a treasure you can help me find.
Today I'm at the Hunter house,
where a serious robbery has occurred.
I'm appealing to all of you
for information.
Joining me today is the Hunter family.
Erik, Kate, Sal, and little Evie.
First, Erik Hunter, the museum's owner,
would like to say a few words.
Erik?
Erik? You would like to say a few words?
That's your cue.
Hi. I'm Erik Hunter.
[deepens voice] Hi. I'm Erik Hunter.
♪♪
What is wrong with him?
Camera fright? I mean...
Hi. I'm Sal Hunter.
And I'm Evie Hunter.
This is our dad. He and Kate, our mom,
adopted me and my three brothers
and my three sisters.
They're basically superheroes, but real.
And without the capes.
The reason Erik is choked up right now
is because the Hunter Museum has been in our family
for centuries.
[Evie] But it's not just a museum.
It's our home.
It's the best home I've ever had.
Erik knows if we don't get our stolen artifacts back,
we won't just lose the museum,
we'll lose the roof over our heads.
He's trying so hard to stop that from happening
and to keep our family together.
And that's what a great dad he is.
So we're begging you,
if you have any information,
please call the number below on the screen.
Cut.
Well done, guys.
So proud of you.
Why didn't you say anything about Dottie and Markus?
Hey, if Dottie is dangerous, Ollie has a right to know.
I know.
But telling someone their mom is bad cray-cray
is easier done with a "sit down,
have some tea and candy."
Not over the phone.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Okay.
"A hiding place where nothing is hidden,
a place for sticks."
A woodpile, maybe?
Agh, this is so stupid!
Hey, calm down.
I can't!
Markus is out there lurking
and he's probably trying to solve the riddle as well.
So why hasn't he done that before now?
I don't know!
Probably because he doesn't have the map.
But whoever's writing those riddles
is way smarter than us.
Especially me.
Nika, this has nothing to do with the riddle.
Or Markus.
Come on. Sit down.
Talk to me. What is it?
I don't know what to do about Dottie.
Came here ready for answers and...
and now I'm just not sure I'm brave enough
to handle them.
Anika...
you're one of the bravest girls I know.
You can handle anything.
Thanks.
Rex, thank you so much.
I have no words.
[laughs] My pleasure.
It will be shown later tonight.
Wow, that soon?Mm-hmm.
Uh, Rex, you need a lift?
Oh, no, I'm fine. Thanks.
Guess we should go, too.
You and Jake have a plane to catch.
You're right. Oh.
Oh, stay out of trouble.
Both of you.
Rex?
Thank you.Good luck, yeah.
Bye. Thank you.Yes, bye.
Back to the riddle.
♪♪
Any ideas?
"A hiding place where nothing is hidden."
Something you could see through a mirror?
Wait.
Glass.
You look through glass.
"A home for sticks, but stones are forbidden."
Guys, I think I know where the next objects are.
[Anika] "Hiding place where nothing is hidden."
[Oliver] A greenhouse!
My greenhouse!
Of course.Genius.
This is terribly impressive.
I would love to stay, but unfortunately
the day job beckons.
And besides, it seems like
you kids are on top of everything.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you.
Bye.Bye.
[sighs]
Nika!Nika!
[phone ringing]
It's Saliver.Shh, shh.
Huh? Sal and Oliver. Hi.
Hi.Shh.
[whispering] Come on.
Uh, Nika, what-- [women gasping]
Nika, what's going on?
Shh. Dottie!
[panting]
[rustling]
[sighs]
She's gone.
No...
[both] We know where the objects are.
In the greenhouse!
Huh?
Okay, when you two are done
with the super spooky twin routine,
we're in the greenhouse now
and Dottie's on the prowl, so...
Okay, so time, essence. We get it.
"Nurture my children
and they shall grow tall."
Obviously that means plants.
"Fruits of my labor
lie within these walls."
There aren't any walls. It's all glass.
Wait, wait, wait. Go back.
There, that old planter.[Jasmyn] It's brick.
Brick walls.
I think. No, I know
there was a lemon tree in that old planter.
But it died off years ago.
Lemons. Fruit.
Oliver, you rock!
[clapping]
There's a fake bottom through this planter.
[grunting]
What... is that?
Yes!
Yes! Let's go!
Shh, shh, shh.Shh, shh, shh.
Take that, Dorkus! We all rock!
[chuckles] Oh, uh, Nika,
I hate to be the grown-up here,
but what time is the last bus?
About an hour ago.
Oh.
I know.
Have you ever done a proper girls' sleepover?
No. Sounds awful.
Awfully awesome!
Sal, I'll clear it with Kate.
But new plan--
the girls are getting their sleepover on.
Oh, wait, be sure to watch the appeal.
Okay, it's on at 9:00. Okay.
[crickets chirping]
[Rex on TV] Joining me today is the Hunter family.
Erik, you would like to say a few words?
What's wrong with Erik?
Hi. I'm Sal Hunter. Oh, phew, it's okay.
And this is our dad. He and Kate, our mom,
adopted me, my three brothers,
and my three sisters.
You have a lovely family, Nika.
I hope you realize that.
I do.
I really do.
I know I should just
brush this whole thing with Dottie off, but...
Oh, that's not what I'm saying.
I grew up not knowing my birth mom either.
She died when I was born.
It's-- it's fine.
I'm just saying...
you need closure.
And it's okay to want that.
You're right.
I'll go and talk with Dottie in the morning.
Hey, I bet Markus is still racking his pea brain
to figure out what the riddle means.
I would love to see his face
when he finds that empty planter.
