Nancy Drew – The Return of the Killer’s Hook

After the relatively heavy finish to final week’s episode, we had been handled to a lighter episode this week.

I confess, I had enjoyable. The scene the place Nancy and Ryan sit down to look at the transfer was lovable.

Nancy has withdrawn from the Drew Crew. Nonetheless, they’ve been calling to test on her since that painful breakup with Ace.

There have been moments throughout the first couple of episodes of the sequence the place I frightened that this group would by no means turn out to be actual pals.

However they’ve. It’s one of many issues I actually get pleasure from in regards to the sequence.

Nancy’s funk is interrupted by a scream in her again yard. She dashes out to the rescue.

When she sees a masked man chasing a girl, she takes him out with a big piece of fallen wooden.

After all she did. She’s Nancy Drew.

Apart: I reside in LA. When a manufacturing is filming within the neighborhood, they blanket the realm with a discover in regards to the filming schedule. I assumed it was simply to warn us about parking. I suppose this is the true purpose.

Welcome again Laci McAllister.

We final noticed her at Detective Con in “The Testimony of the Executed Man”, serving to the Drew Crew clear up the Frozen Coronary heart Killer case.

As a substitute of a podcast, she is now directing her first movie.

Bizarre stuff is occurring on set. When Laci makes an offhanded remark about needing somebody (‘a Nancy Drew’) to determine who’s behind it, Nancy all however falls to Laci’s toes begging for the job.

Properly, perhaps Nancy crashing the set to start out the investigation with out an invite could possibly be thought-about begging.

Ryan joins Nancy for the investigation. I used to be thrilled to have Ryan again within the combine. This episode is the right episode for his return.

Laci is remaking a film known as Longhook. The unique model was filmed in Horseshoe Bay within the 90s.

After Detective Con somebody lastly learn her script and she or he’s again in Horseshoe Bay making her dream come true.

Bess makes her appearing debut. After watching her run strains at The Claw, I didn’t anticipate her to be pretty much as good as she was taking part in Sufferer #1.

George and Nick seek for Councilwoman Brie Fortfield, as a result of she’s been lacking in motion for a couple of days.

Extra importantly, we acquired the reply to what Brie was screaming about final week.

After one of many onset “accidents” nearly injures Laci (within the new sheriff’s presence), the manufacturing is shut down.

Nancy discovers that the stunt group has crammed a 5 gallon jug with faucet water “in an effort to be inexperienced”.

Doug Vexler, the primary assistant director, noticed black veins on the stunt group’s necks.

He then ties Brie to the state of affairs when he reveals that she labored with him on the unique movie and they’re filming in Brie’s home.

Brie screamed when she regained her reminiscence of watching Jim Stanley, the director of the unique film, drown when she might have simply saved him.

I preferred the modifying of Brie revealing what occurred the night time that Jim Stanley died because the stunt group intensifies their “pranks” towards Laci.

It is a repeat of what occurred to Nancy in “The Maiden’s Rage.”

I’m nonetheless making an attempt to make clear a sample with the water. Plainly when a prison drinks the water, the subsequent particular person to drink finally ends up compelled to commit their crime.

But when one other prison concerned in the identical case (I’m pondering of Logan Rhodes in “The Maiden’s Rage”) drinks after somebody has contaminated (Nancy), nobody else is contaminated? That is the bit that’s complicated me however it didn’t come into play this episode.

Anyway, Nancy arrives at her home in time to avoid wasting Laci and the stunt group.

To make sure that this state of saving people as they’re contaminated by the water can’t proceed, cleaning the stunt crew burned out the “supernatural abdomen pump”.

That’s acquired to result in hassle with the Glasses.

Brie was in a position to present them with a helpful clue to the bigger thriller…Brie’s father buried the reminiscence of her crime by visiting “The Black Door.”

The way in which they’re laying the groundwork for this season’s thriller is starting to suck me in.

I’ve numerous questions swirling round in my head.

Who’s behind The Black Door?

Is whoever is behind “The Black Door” the identical particular person (or entity) that modified the city’s water?

It appears as if the water was cursed to disclose the entire hidden sins of Horseshoe Bay, so I’m inclined to assume ‘no’.

I nonetheless can’t determine why Decide Abbott’s reminiscence needed to be modified. That picture implied to me that he was conscious of “The Black Door” and its energy. Why would he apply it to himself?

Chief Lovett informed Bess to again off and keep in her lane, which brings me again to my statement final week.

Hannah’s strategy was to guard Horseshoe Bay by preserving the supernatural locked away. Bess’s open/public strategy to being the Keeper has brought on an official downside that might get her shut down.

I do acknowledge that Bess’s strategy is required since Nancy opened the entire containers, but when she doesn’t change her strategy, will it impede her means to assist Nancy defend the city?

Rating: 8

After the powerful ending final week, this week’s episode was lighter. Nancy’s investigative abilities are wanted to guard Laci McAllister, who returns to movie a horror film in Horseshoe Bay. The season’s thriller takes one other step ahead and I’m loving that my thoughts is swirling with questions that I’m anxious to have answered.
