She's not going to publish the article.
- Wow! That's fantastic! [giggles.]
- Hmm.
- Eddie, about this article - Uh-huh.
- Mara aside, I don't get why you're doing it.
I think it's kind of lame.
- [scoffs.]
I think it's really cool.
I mean, I don't know if ghosts really exist, But the more you look into it, the less lame it gets.
Trust me.
- Wow, you're really serious about it.
- Sure.
But, I mean, you think it's stupid, so - No.
Actually I don't.
But don't do it the way joy wants it.
Mara's right.
You need it to be taken seriously Or you won't be taken seriously.
- Yeah.
You're right.
- [exhales heavily.]
Is this a raid? - Sit down, buddy.
We've got something to talk to you about.
- [scoffs.]
- Tell me this isn't as bad as it looks.
- It's actually much worse.
- Do you want the good news or the bad news? - What's the good news? - Eddie and I are good again.
- She couldn't do it.
- I couldn't do it.
- That's all right.
Fabian was amazing.
I mean, you must have been.
He got joy to drop the article.
- There you are.
Jerome's got something to tell you.
- Tell them.
- He took the dollhouse! - What? - Sorry, you tell them.
- I took the dollhouse.
- But wh-- - wait.
There's more.
- It was for jasper! Sorry.
- I knew it.
I knew it! Why would he do that? - 'cause he was being blackmailed.
- Amber! - Sorry.
Sorry.
- Jasper is not the bad guy, fabian.
He was being blackmailed By the person who kidnapped trudy.
Both: What? - Get out.
- Vera--vera is his agent.
- Whose agent, jerome? - Rufus is back.
- Rufus.
No! No, he's dead.
We read his obituary.
- Trust me, he's alive and well.
- How? - All I know is if he doesn't get what he wants, Then trudy is d-- Trudy is in trouble.
- What does he want? - Something in the house.
He's been searching high and low For anything and everything frobisher.
That is why he wanted the dollhouse.
- Not to play dolls.
- Hey, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, But there was so much at stake, okay? Trudy, you - Me? - You threatened jasper, fabian.
We couldn't tell you.
We couldn't put you in danger.
- It's okay.
- What now? - We have to tell victor.
- Rufus zeno is dead.
- Well, then he faked it, because he's not now.
- Victor, I saw him with my own eyes! And vera's involved.
- Now you have gone too far! - It's true.
She works for rufus.
- Ask yourself how she got the job.
Were there any other applicants? - No one could have possibly-- - Vera devenish is the finest housemother This place has ever had.
This is outrageous! - Mara was right.
- She's evil.
- Enough! - What's all the commotion? - [clears throat.]
- Victor? - Nothing.
Usual nonsense.
Be gone, all of you.
- Victor-- - now! [clears throat.]
- What's going on? - Nothing.
[clears throat.]
We'll, um, have to stay close to them, though.
[clears throat.]
- You're what? - You heard me.
I'm not running the story.
- Well, why? - Because I'm the editor, and I say so.
- But it's a great story.
It could be huge for the site.
Think of the "eyeballs.
" - I'm just going to have to make the jackal A success without it.
You're not the only one around here who can write, mara.
- This was my only chance to get my work out there.
- I know, and I'm sorry.
But after what sweetie said, I wouldn't be able to put your name to it anyway.
- Huh.
Well, that marks the end of my "making an effort" phase.
- [sighs.]
- I brought you a cup of tea and some fig rolls.
- Oh, I'm not hungry, vera, thank you.
- Victor, you have to keep up your strength.
Here.
- Oh.
- [giggles.]
Any progress? - Um, well, some of these pictures-- The scarab with the ankh on its back, the cupbearers-- I think I've worked out that together They refer to a silver goblet Which once belonged to sarah frobisher-smythe.
- Did you know her well? - Hmm? Oh, yes.
Yes.
All my life.
- What happened to her? - Oh, well, we grew apart, and Soon after I found her again, she--she--she died.
- Oh.
I'm sorry to hear that.
- Well, death comes to all of us eventually, vera.
Well, most of us, at least.
- Uh, so this silver goblet-- where is it now? - Ah, now, that is the problem.
It stood in the downstairs dresser for decades and decades, But it is no longer there.
- Well, they've beaten us to it.
- It's possible.
- But victor-- - oh, not to worry.
They're not going anywhere.
We have three of the reflectors, you know.
- He's got three reflectors? That must mean he has the doll's eye and two others.
What are they? - Search me, but he's onto us.
He's figured out the goblet's missing, And they know it was us.
We heard him telling vera.
- Wait, he talked to vera about this? - Yup, and trust me, there is a significant amount Of romantic tension between those two.
- Yeah, but she's working for rufus.
- Maybe she's a double agent.
- You've got to hand it to her.
She is good.
- Yeah, she is.
The lying, double-crossing mask-hijacking witch! Hoodwinking us with her cakey ways.
- Back in the room, alfie.
Maybe victor and rufus have teamed up.
- Well-- - that is not a nice thought.
- Either way, vera's got victor wrapped around her finger.
Did you see the way she stuck up for him the other day? - Yup.
A total puppy dog.
So in love.
- I--I don't know what's going on here.
All I do know is that we can't trust either of them.
- Can we recap on who I can trust, Because my head is literally about to explode.
- Whoever he's working for, guys, it doesn't matter.
We've got the other three reflectors, remember? [door opens.]
- Do you recognize this? - [shakily.]
yeah.
It was junk.
I threw it out.
- That's why you're there and I'm here.
This thing is priceless.
It's worth more than you, in fact.
- What does that mean? - It means simply that very soon, You will no longer be needed.
