He passes it to Anakin Skywalker

Come on, ref! How can you not see that?!

What happened?

- Skywalker got fouled. No call.
- His name's Josh.

What's the matter, ref? Are you blind?!

Oh my god. Jules, I'm so sorry.

- I didn't mean...
- It's OK. Dad, this is

Miss Sinclair, my social studies
teacher. Mr. Shade, please forgive me.

I get overexcited when we play Hartwell.

In the three years I've been
teaching here, we've never

won against them. I can see why.
These guys are good.

Are you here to support Liam, Jules?

Uh, not just Liam. How's he doing, Dad?

(someone): Good job, guys, good job.
Let's go!

Uh... his effort

is off the charts, honey.

- Mr. Shade.
- Principal Frame!

Nice to see you again.

- Can we speak in private?
- Sure...

- Jules, you'll be OK?
- Yeah, yeah.

Come on, ref! He's traveling!

Yeah, ref. Even I could see that!

Please take a seat.

Only back at school an hour and already

called in to the
principal's office. Ha ha!

I understand you're now
a private investigator.

A situation has come to my attention

that requires a great
deal of discretion.

Happy to help. Especially

if it means lower tuition for Jules. Ha!

I received this anonymous
email this afternoon.

Studentstud2000! "Miss S",

"I can't stop thinking
about last night."

Mary: "That was just the beginning.
Next time"

"we're alone, I'm gonna
teach you how to... " Wow!

It goes on in some detail.

The message indicates this
event took place last Thursday.

Wait, is...
this between a student and a teacher?

Who's Mary?

Mary Sinclair. She
teaches social studies.

- Jules' teacher? From the game?
- She's highly respected.

And a close friend.
She would never do anything like this.

(breathing deeply): Protocol dictates

that I should report this to
the Ellard board immediately,

but I can't do that to Mary.
An allegation like this...

Even a false one...
Can ruin a teacher's career.

And destroy a school's reputation.

I need you to prove

that this is a prank,
in poor taste, before it turns

into a scandal. But you'll need
to act quickly, and quietly.

Alright, I'm on it, Ms. Frame.

And don't worry,
my partner and I will be in and out

before this thing explodes in your face.

That came out wrong.

Yeah, and I can tell when
you're fake-liking Liam.

You do that thing where you
laugh while you're talking.

- (laughing): I don't do that!
- Welcome home, kiddo.

- Grandpa!
- How was school?

Good.
Dad got sent to the principal's office.

Ah! That takes me back. What happened?

Ah, Principal Frame
just wants me to speak

to some of the students. About what?

Success. Chasing your
dreams. Aiming for the moon,

so when you miss you'll
land amongst the stars.

- Please don't embarrass me.
- I'm sure it'll be brief.

- Dinner's on the table, sweetie.
- Thanks.

- Speak to the students? Really?
- What? It could happen.

OK, fine. Principal
Frame hired me and Angie

- to look into something for her.
- You don't think she'll realize

something's up when you and
Angie start poking around?

It involves her favourite teacher.
I just don't want

anything to ruin how much
she loves that place.

Then just don't be the
one that does the ruining.

- Dad, I got this.
- OK.

Whoever you are...

stand up slowly with
your hands in the air.

- Oh my god, it's you.

I thought for sure I
was about to get shot.

- What are you doing here?
- I... work for you.

- Today's my first day.
- Oh.

- I didn't expect you so early.
- I wanted to get a head start

on things.
I was taking inventory of your kitchen.

Did you know you're using
the wrong coffee filters?

Figures. Shade's job.

Also,
I restocked your desk with new supplies.

And I thought later,

I would take a stab at
organizing your office.

- That will not be necessary.
- You sure?

There's a method to my madness. Listen,

Shade and I are going to be out
a lot over the next few days,

so just sit tight and
leave things as they are.

Got it. No changing things. Except,

Shade emailed me the new case details.

Wow!

Hey, are you up-to-date
on new social media sites?

Yeah. It's not Facebook,
Twitter, Insta, Snap, Tumblr,

J-Date or Ameechee.
They don't use a purple background.

Morning, partner.
We gotta get to Ellard. Hey Zoe.

Any lingering "to-do list"
items I can scratch off

- while you two are out?
- You know what?

The door to Angie's
office sticks a little.

You could try to tackle that.

Don't worry about it,
it's been that way forever.

Which makes the perfect thing
for our new employee to fix.

Or to leave alone and
stick to filing today.

Or not! Come on, we gotta jet.

Copy that.

(cracking sound)

Oh no.

(birds chirping and
church bells ringing)

- (revved up engine)
- It's just...

weird knowing there's someone
in the office when we're not.

Kind of comes along with the
territory when you hire someone.

I'm just used to things a certain way.

Come on, this is a good thing.
Now that we've got help,

we can kick this business
into high gear. Did you get

those design ideas I sent you?
We're not redesigning the office.

Do you want to land
the big cases or not?

How about we focus on this case?

Fine. All we have to go
on is Mary's conversation

with "Studentstud2000"
from last Thursday.

We find him, we can put an end

to this character assassination attempt.

Unless it really happened.

You think she actually did this?

It wouldn't be the first
time that a teacher hooked up

- with a student.
- Ellard is

a prestigious institution.
Students are there

hitting the books, not
hitting... you know.

She's young, attractive, and human.

Some of her students are eighteen and,
like it or not,

- teenagers have sex.
- Hm,

I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that.

Hold on.

Here you go.

- What's this?
- Frame told me

one of the gym teachers
is out sick this week,

- so you're filling in.
- You want me to go undercover as a sub?

- Yeah.
- Subs are the mall cops

of the teaching world.
Nobody takes them seriously.

Well, you go undercover all the time!

And I can't do it, I'm too famous.

Celebrity can be a curse, you know.

I go undercover to blend in,
not teach a high school class.

What am I supposed to say to
a group of hormonal teenagers?

It's gym!
Make 'em play dodgeball or something.

How does that help the case?

It's gonna give you time
to suss out the mysterious

purple website and look for
signs of social media villainy.

And in the meantime, I'll talk
to Mary and send you some names.

Next time, I come up with the plan.

♪

Wow.

Wish my hockey coaches looked like that.

I sense that wouldn't have
helped your career any.

OK. Frame's on her way.

All we gotta do now is keep
a low profile, try to fit in.

- Mr. Shade?
- I'm sorry, you are?

Brie, from the column
"Briefly with Brie". I write

for "The Ellard Voice".
And you must be the new gym teacher.

How do you know so much about us?

Ear to the ground,
finger on the pulse...

- How about a quote for my readers?
- Sure, uh...

"If you don't know where you're going,
you'll wind up

someplace else."

Great, thank you.

So much for keeping a low profile,
Yogi Berra.

Ah, Principal Frame,

this is Angie, my partner,
and your new gym teacher.

- Thank you for coming.
- Which way to the gym?

- Athletics building.
- Your gym has its own building?

(chuckling):
Do you have your own restaurant, too?

Yes.

There's a map in there,
plus a list of your students.

You're in classroom 212, down the hall.

Uh... classroom?

I... I thought we were
playing dodgeball.

The current unit is sexual education.

Don't worry, Angie's a pro;

it'll be the best hour
those kids ever had.

Ahem! That came out wrong.

- Sex Ed?!
- I know,

I'm way more qualified to teach that.

Stop it.
Seriously, what am I supposed to do?

You're a sub! Show 'em a video.

(little moan)

(sigh)

Good morning, class. I...

am your substitute, Miss Everett.

Today, for...

sex ed, we're gonna watch a video.

Does anyone know how to
set up the DVD player?

OK!

Miss Sinclair.

Mr. Shade. What are you doing here?

Uh, Principal Frame asked
me to stop by and talk

to some of the students
that are falling behind.

That's kind of you.
People give up too easily

on kids these days. I know what
it feels like to lose your way.

- We're all just human.
- According to Jules,

you're superhuman.
She's a really big fan.

- Is she doing OK in your class?
- Oh, absolutely.

Jules is a great student.
She's inquisitive,

- perceptive and engaged.
- I only asked because

she stopped by your office last
Thursday for some extra help.

Last Thursday...

Oh, I had a doctor's appointment.

Gotcha.
Well, good to know she's not failing.

Oh, far from it.
Please tell her I'm sorry I missed her.

I will, thanks.

Uh, anyone I should look out for?

- I'm sorry?
- My talk, this afternoon.

Standing up there in
front of all the kids,

I'm sure I'm gonna get eaten alive.

Marty Austin. Class clown.

He likes to make his friends
laugh by embarrassing adults.

- Look for the Bieber hair.
- Gotcha. Thanks.

What happens if you wait until
you're married and then you have

sex for the first time and
discover you don't like it?

You know, there's gotta be great
communication and understanding.

(phone vibrating)

- Hey!
- Hey, how's it going?

Well, the room smells like
bubble gum and Axe body spray.

- Where are you on the suspect?
- Uh, Marty Austin.

See if he's in your class.
Mary says he's always on her case.

[Apparently he's a dead
ringer for Bieber.]

Got him.

- Might not be that great.
- I find it's hard

to talk about sex. It is very...

Marty, no texting in class.
Can I have that, please?

Only if you put your number in there.

Ha ha ha.
Grow two feet and add fifteen years

not to only focus your

O... K, well, uh...

Oh dear...

- (sigh)

How can teenagers still
have so many questions

about sex?!
Haven't they heard of the internet?

- Have you been on the internet?
- I've looked through Marty's

phone and I found an
app called PeriWink.

- Never heard of it.
- Basically a private version

of Facebook. You can create an
alias and send secure messages

to other users. And it's purple. Look.

Huh! Did you find "Studentstud2000"?

That's the problem, it's members only.
I can't join

unless I'm invited by an existing user.

You want my PeriWink login? Why?

I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important,
honey.

Important like sending Angie undercover

- as the hot sex ed teacher?
- You know about that?

Yeah, you're trending.
Hashtag "hoteverett".

Dad, what's going on?

I know you're not here
as a guest speaker.

We're working a case I
couldn't tell you about.

We have to keep it quiet.

So you lied and now you want a favour?

All we can say is that
someone you care about

- at the school is in trouble.
- (sighing): OK.

(electronic musical alert)

Just sent you an invite.

- Thanks, honey.
- Yeah.

OK... StudentStud's
profile is mostly blank;

no photo, no personal information.

If you're a teenager on social media,
isn't the point

- to be seen and known?
- Yeah, absolutely.

- It's like a selfie free-for-all.
- Look,

he only has one friend. Mary Sinclair.

Wait a minute, that's not right.

- (knocking): Mary was set up.
- The message you were sent

is a fake. It's from
an app called PeriWink.

Mary's account,
and the account for Studentstud2000

were both created within
minutes of each other

on the same day they
allegedly slept together.

And, Mary's personal
information is all wrong.

It says she's been teaching here
for five years instead of three.

You think one person
created both accounts

and manufactured the
conversation between them.

Exactly. You're not smiling.

- Why aren't you smiling?
- Because

as much as I'd like to believe you,

the situation has escalated.

♪

- Who's that?
- Josh Remar,

captain of the basketball team.
And he just told me

- he was seduced by Mary.
- ♪

♪

Is this your idea of a
prestigious institution?

He's a teenager.
You'll be hearing from my lawyer.

Let's go, son.

That went about as well as I expected.

I don't understand.
How can Josh be "Studentstud2000"

when the accounts are
clearly fabricated?

That's for the police to sort out.

- You're involving the police?
- Josh is sixteen.

Age of consent with a person
of authority is eighteen.

Are you saying Mary could be charged?

I never wanted it to come to this.
But now that I have

an allegation from a living,
breathing student, I have

no choice but to follow protocol.

That means informing the police
and the board of directors.

What, so just when we uncover

that the online messages are fake,
this kid comes forward

with an accusation? You got to admit,

- the timing's a little suspect.
- I agree.

But the only thing that will
exonerate Mary at this point

- is evidence.
- We'll find it.

Well you better do it quickly.
Once the board hears of this,

they'll call an emergency meeting,
at which point

I'll be asked to explain why
I didn't report this incident

immediately. After that,

I suspect I won't be principal anymore.

(police radio communications)

No, no, no, stop right there.
I can't tell you anything.

You don't even know
what we're gonna ask ya!

The Ellard kid, right?
Getting the horizontal history

- lesson from his teacher?
- Just wanna know what he said!

Can't help you. It's not my case.

His statement was recorded, right?
We just wanna see the footage.

Angie, he's a minor, for
cryin' out loud. Excuse me.

He's also a liar. That
teacher he accused,

she might lose her job.
Not to mention her reputation

- is gonna be destroyed.
- OK, you know what?

I found his story seemed a little fishy,
but...

what can I do? My hands are tied.

- Hm, Zoe's gonna be so disappointed.
- Hm, yeah.

- Zoe?
- Yeah! The crazy girl

from the Beach.
We hired her as an office assistant.

- You hired her?
- She remembered how helpful

you were and suggested
we come down here.

- She is going to feel so bad...
- Yeah...

OK, you wanna see the video?

We met at this motel on Cawthra.

I made the room romantic.

Tea lights, rose petals.

Orange-scented chocolate.
Miss Sinclair met me at five PM.

She wore a silver...

"negli-gee".

Oh come on. This kid

doesn't even know what a "negli-G" is.

- This is clearly rehearsed.
- Wait, five PM...

Mary told me she was at the
doctor that day after school.

We confirm that alibi
and she's off the hook.

What? Do you have any idea

how damaging an allegation like this is?

It sticks to your record
whether it's true or not.

- Don't give up yet.
- But I tried for years

to get hired at that school.
I loved working there so much,

and now it's just all gone.
Wait, why would Josh

say those things about me?
We need to hear your side of the story.

Your appointment, last Thursday.
Give us the doctor's

name and we'll take that back to Frame.

I didn't go to the doctor's.

So, where were you?

At a protest. Against Pelican Foods.

- The packaged food company?
- Why didn't you say so?

They built Ellard's gymnasium.

They fund the annual European
trip for the graduating class.

If anyone knew that I was protesting

against their genetically modified
foods, I'd be in big trouble.

Bigger trouble than you're in now?

The irony is not lost on me.

Can anyone confirm you
were at the protest?

Someone we can speak to?

Mary, if we can prove you were
somewhere other than a motel

with Josh, this can end.

Cooper Houser. He saw me there.

- Is he another protester?
- No.

He's the Chief Communications
Officer for Pelican Foods.

Cooper Houser?

I... respect whatever religion you are,
but no thank you.

We're private investigators.
Do you have a minute?

- Cooper, what's going on?
- Nothing. I'll be right in, Renee.

Do you know this woman?
She says she was at a protest

against your company last Thursday.

Yes, I recognize her.
Her name's Mary Sinclair.

You know the names of
all your protesters?

Miss Sinclair has been very
vocal against my company

for the past year and a half.
She communicates with me

- when she's organizing protests.
- Oh, that sounds civil!

Everyone has a right to free speech.

Remember what time the protest ended?

- Uh, about 6:30.
- Did you see this kid there?

Nope. Never seen him before.

Thanks.

The protest ended at 6:30,
Josh said he met Mary at 5;

slam dunk.
The kid's story doesn't hold water.

They could have met up after
the protest. Josh did say

- they were up all night.
- (chuckling): Come on.

That kid doesn't have
that kind of stamina.

We need more proof than a
wonky timeline to get Frame

- and Mary off the hook.
- What about Josh's statement

to the police?
You said yourself it sounded rehearsed.

Maybe somebody's pulling his strings.

Making a false statement is no joke.
I mean, Whoever it is

Yeah, the story is all over school.

There's even an article
in The Ellard Voice.

Ah, sorry about that.
We tried to stop that from happening.

Now I get why you couldn't tell me.

Maybe you can help us, honey.
What can you tell me about Josh?

Well, I mean,
no one believes it actually happened.

- Then why is he saying it did?
- Thank you.

Could someone be threatening
Josh with something?

Losing his athletic scholarship maybe?

He literally lives and
breathes basketball.

When you're on scholarship,
you have to keep grades up,

- right? How are Josh's?
- Uh...

calculus is his kryptonite.
He was super worked up

over the mid-term a few weeks ago.
But then he scored, like,

a high eighty.

- What?
- When I was Josh's age,

I knew a guy named... Mark

And Mark wasn't very good at math.

- Mark's whole life was...
- Hockey?

No... Football!

Or something... Anyway,

they wouldn't let you play
if you had crappy grades,

- so Mark...
- Mm-hm.

Bought an old test from a former student

- to pass his class.
- Mark is such a cheater!

Hey, Mark was young. Don't judge him.

If Josh did the same thing and
someone found out about it...

They could use that
information as leverage

- to get him to lie about Mary.
- We just need to prove

that Josh bought a test online.

Hey Zoe. Can you go
online and figure out

where someone could
buy an Ellard mid-term?

Oh, I filed the crap out of those files.

No! They said if I did
this, they wouldn't say

- They?

Did someone threaten you?

They hacked my PeriWink account.

They found out I cheated..

And blackmailed you into
claiming you slept with Mary.

the eight students

with the highest social
standing supposedly...

formed an elite club.

The idea was to bond them for
life as they went on to become

captains of industry.
But the group doesn't actually exist.

there's monsters or anything...

There aren't any monsters, Liam.

- I know.
- Like when you went undercover

as a sex ed teacher...

did you... practice? Teaching?

- Sex.
- Um...

I mean, do you...

know about sex... (deep breath)

Do you know about teaching sex?

(sighing): Where is this going, Jules?

How do you know if it's the right time?

- Oh boy.
- If anything,

this place would have serial
killers or crazy hobos.

If a crazy hobo serial
killer comes after us,

I'll let him kill me first, OK?

- That's nice of you.
- Last time I said the "s" word

in front of Dad,
he pretended to hear rats in the attic

and spent two hours fake- searching
for them to avoid the conversation.

I bet Jules isn't afraid.
You know she isn't afraid

of anything. She says
that comes from you.

- Really?
- Yeah. Whenever she's scared,

she just thinks about what you would do,
and it calms her down.

It's not easy being a
teenager. I remember.

You want everything right
away and it's all...

it's all right there,
in front of you, so there's no reason

why you shouldn't have it, but...

You don't have to rush.

Trust me.

Life'll still be there waiting
when the time is right.

Now I see why everyone was
so stoked for your class.

Me, I babble. Like now.

Would you like to hold
the flashlight, Liam?

- (relieved): Yes, please.
- Is that your hand on my neck?

- No.
- Something's on me!

(sighing): I broke the flashlight.

So it happened. (hitting the flashlight)

(sighing): My phone's in the car.

OK, you do realize I'm blind, right?

I'm used to not being able to see.
I'll lead the way.

I think so, yeah. I mean,

OK, what is happening right now?

Angie's door sticks.

With, uh, Miss Sinclair?

Oh, we've had a breakthrough, actually.

We believe someone's trying
to frame her. Have you ever

- heard of The Ellard Eight?
- Can't say I have.

Really? 'Cause you're an Ellard alumnus,
and your wife

- sits on the board.
- We googled you. You know,

I was wondering.
What's a communications officer even

- We want the public to feel

free to communicate with Pelican,

- Very noble.

Not unlike The Ellard Eight.
A secret student society

at Ellard's, going back generations.
Rumour is

their clubhouse is hidden in the
service tunnels under the school.

We find it, we'll find the
person responsible for this.

Sounds like a wild goose chase.

If that goose fabricated a sex scandal

to slander a teacher's
character, then yes,

that's exactly what this is.
And when we find out who's behind it

their goose is cooked.

Well, I... wish you two the best.

How long have you been
seeing each other?

We met during a protest
about a year and a half ago.

When Cooper found out I
was a teacher at Ellard,

he wanted to know why
I was against Pelican.

After a few glasses of wine,

we found a connection much deeper.

- Does your wife know?
- Yes. She's... she's known

- for some time.
- Any chance she could be

- behind this?
- Renee isn't vindictive

like that.
We're getting a divorce, she just...

doesn't want to hurt
the family with the news

- until it's finalized.
- You two were together

after the protest.
That's the real reason

you can't admit where
you were last Thursday.

Either I admit to sleeping with Josh,
which didn't happen,

or I expose that Cooper has
been sleeping with a protestor

against the company.
It's his job or mine.

Huh! Talk about a rock and a hard place.

I'm not proud of my mistakes.

But, I love that school, and I would
never do what I'm being accused of.
