Flea markets are the best!

Why have I never been to one before?

You were scared of catching actual fleas.

Well, glad I got over that.

A whole set of neodymium magnets for one dollar.

- Hold this. - Oh.

Oh.

Oh, hi, kids. So, what are you looking for?

I'm sure my darling Faraz can help.

Oh, jewellery.

- Faraz? - Mm.

Shouldn't you be giving all this jewellery to Nan,

instead of selling it?

Well, mm, well, I mean, I don't know whether she--

I think that's enough overprotective granddaughter

for one day.

So, Faraz, we need a present for Nori.

He has a big dive test today.

Say no more, I have just the thing.

A good luck charm.

♪twinkling music

Ooh, a lucky charm!

Thanks, but my family runs the Dive Shop,

I've got this test in the bag.

Besides, I don't believe in luck.

I assure you, this little beauty is the real deal.

It's been blessed by Rock Island monks.

Anyone who wears this

will receive untold amounts of good luck.

Sold!

♪upbeat music

Here you go, Nori.

I really appreciate it, Lila,

but I'm just not into superstitions.

Hey, little bro,

they were giving away your fave doughnuts, for free.

- Your lucky day, hey? - Thanks Silas.

That had nothing to do with the bracelet.

What's that sound?

I think Ellis is beeping.

Did I buy something defective?

I didn't even get a warranty.

What is that?

Sunny was selling some old stuff from the seismic station.

Warning, energy levels high!

Warning, energy levels high!

Wait, like earthquake high?

♪Rock Island Mysteries.

This is from the decommissioned

seismic monitoring station in Mount Havoc.

But when it says energy, does that mean an earthquake?

I mean, I don't feel any shaking.

Oh, hey! Free money.

Wow, you're on a hot streak today.

I'm telling ya, it's the bracelet.

Look, there's no earthquake.

That station just picks up weird spikes of energy

that aren't even seismic.

What sort of energy?

You know, no one's ever figured that out.

But we don't even use that station anymore,

we're just waiting on a team

to head out there and dismantle it.

Thanks, Sunny.

♪suspenseful music

We're all thinking the same thing, right?

"Energy spikes"?

It could be the energy source Uncle Charlie told us about.

If we go to the station,

we could find the origin point from the recorded data.

But do we have time to get up and back before your test?

Yep. Natural talents like me don't need to prep.

Uh, wait, isn't Mount Havoc a geothermal area?

Yes, filled with volcanic geysers

spurting steam hot enough to melt your skin,

and mud with toxic alkaline levels.

- You seem very calm about this. - That's because

I bought a trusty new compass this morning.

The geyser field is on the east side of the mountain,

we go west, we avoid it entirely.

I just need to get a few things on the way from the BQ.

Let's do it.

Are you serious? A bird pooped right on my doughnut.

When does that ever actually happen?

- Lila. - Thanks.

Come on.

♪upbeat music

Hey, guys, word just came through

that there's a massive storm on the way,

and it's on a collision course with Mount Havoc.

There might not be a station left after, so let's move fast

so we can get up and back before it starts.

So, maybe pack a bit lighter, Ellis.

Do we really need a phone from the 1900s?

It's a satellite phone, and you'll thank me

when the geothermal activity messes with our reception,

and this is the only number that works.

Look, I'm not saying luck isn't real.

It's lucky, with the storm coming,

that my dive test is indoors,

but nothing mystical caused that.

Luck is not mystical, it's mysterious.

Maybe your next bit of luck will be April Shon

replying to one of your many, manycomments.

Hey!

"April, I love your music, and you."

Ow!

That's what we call karma.

"We"? As in you and April.

Whoa!

I commented on April's new video and she replied!

And she remembers me from the Ball!

Millions of fans, and she chooses to reply to you?

Is that so hard to believe?

Yes!

Your luck is starting to become a pattern.

Yeah, 'cause the bracelet works.

Oh, please.

I'll believe this thing when it does something real.

Like save me from certain death.

♪ominous music

You were saying?

Based on the colour and how bendable the metal is,

I'd say it's made from indium.

But how does it make people lucky?

Maybe it has an aura

that affects probabilities in your favour.

Oh, my drink bottle's leaked everywhere!

And my phone is trashed.

Why wouldn't Faraz give the bracelet to Nan?

Worst boyfriend ever!

He probably knows where it came from, and how it works.

- Huh! I vote interrogation. - We don't have time.

Look, you guys go,

I'll stick with Meesha so Faraz gets out alive.

Oh, no, you're with me, Lila can go.

We need all the luck we can get with the storm coming.

Let's go, let's go!

♪suspenseful music

With Nori's luck, we're going to find the energy source

and stop the island from disappearing.

Yes, that's all I'm thinking about,

not about this perilous climb

with the impending storm that could leave us

stranded in the wilderness with no shelter.

♪suspenseful music

Why does it stink up here?

No, no, no, I smell volcanic gas.

That could mean only one thing...

We need to get out of here!

Oh, no, it's the geyser field!

♪ominous music

Now we're all in danger. What happened to your good luck?

You led us straight to the geothermal area.

I wasn't the one leading, your compass was.

But...we went west. How did...?

♪suspenseful music

Whoopsie.

Ellis, did you put the compass

in the same pocket as your new magnets?

There may be a slight possibility

the magnets messed with the compass and sent us in...

the complete wrong direction.

- Ellis! - It was an accident, honestly.

I mean, I have so many pockets, what are the chances?

What do we do now?

There isn't long before that storm hits,

and we have to get that data.

Wait, is that the monitoring station?

You're saying we go towards the raging jets of death?

There's no way around them.

I thought the new Ellis wasn't scared of geysers?

That was before my compass led me astray.

How could you betray me like this?

Well, at least we've got luck on our side.

♪ominous music

Ellis's compass went wonky and now they're in the geyser field.

Jealous! I want to see the jets of death too.

Sorry, girls, everyone's closing shop with this storm coming.

We just wanted to ask you a few questions.

Yeah, starting with...

what are your intentions with my grandmother?

- What? - Meesha...

we're supposed to be asking about the bracelet.

Why would you own a literal good luck charm,

and not give it to her?

- Can you please focus? - I am focused!

I'm making sure Nan

winds up with a man who will always put her first.

Wait, hang on.

The bracelet isn't actually lucky.

It was a story I made up so you'd buy it.

Er, it's from some deceased estate or something -

Lydia Mercado or something.

So you're also a liar now, are you?

Hmph. Yeah, okay, I'll be telling Nan about this.

Wait. Can we just be clear, the bracelet is not lucky?

No. Sorry.

But, the others are heading into jets of death

relying on luck to keep them safe.

Breathe, Ellis, just breathe. Taylor will come to her senses.

We have to do this, Ellis, the answer we need

to save the island could be right on the other side.

But the whole field seems unusually active.

We have no idea when those vents will burst.

They could go up when we're right over them.

Don't worry, Taylor will have a plan.

Yeah, you can lead us through.

Wait, what? That's your plan?

The bracelet saved you from the branch,

that means it'll stop the geysers from exploding near us.

You've got to be kidding me!

Come on, you're going to smash this,

just like you're going to smash your dive test.

Where's the Nori confidence we've seen all day?

I lied.

- Wait, what? - I lied.

I was only pretending to be confident

- about my dive test 'cause-- - Oh, so the truth comes out.

I'm freaking out about my dive test.

And I'm freaking out about you

thinking I can lead us through that.

Nori, I trust you more than anyone else in this group...

- Hey! - ..and I believe in you.

Now you need to believe in yourself.

I hope you don't regret this.

Ellis, keep close, we stay behind Nori

and piggyback off his good luck.

♪dramatic music

Okay, here goes nothing.

Nori's not answering. Why isn't he answering?

This is Nori, leave a message.

Nori, tell Taylor she can't trust the bracelet

to bring her luck.

You were right - it's just a hunk of junk

Faraz got off some old dead woman called Lydia Mercado.

Okay, call me back.

Lydia?

Lucky Lydia?

I haven't heard that name for years.

What do you mean, "Lucky Lydia"?

Well, that was her nickname.

That woman was so lucky, she got everything she wanted.

She even won the lottery... four times.

And this Lydia, did she wear a bracelet?

I don't know, she kept pretty much to herself

after husband number five passed away.

She had five husbands?

Mm-hmm. They all died on her, poor dear.

I mean, Lydia might've been lucky in life,

but no one else around her was.

♪ominous music

Nothing bad is going to happen,

nothing bad is going to happen.

Nothing bad is going to happen.

We need to go around the geyser vent either way.

- Left or right? - Your call, fearless leader.

Left it is.

That was lucky.

Thank you, thank you, thank you,

you sweet, beautiful gift from above.

Come on, we're almost there, I can see the station.

All Lydia's husbands died in these crazy, freak accidents.

And her best friends. One had a sinkhole open up under him.

One was struck by lightning.

And one was even hit in the head by a falling coconut.

That is a whole lot of wrong place, wrong time.

No wonder Lydia became a recluse -

she probably thought she was bad luck to anyone she loved.

It has to be the bracelet balancing things out.

What do you mean?

Uh, everything in the universe exists in balance.

Think about what's happened today.

They were giving away your fave doughnuts, for free.

Your lucky day, hey?

Are you serious? A bird pooped right on my doughnut.

And my phone is trashed.

The bracelet gives Nori good luck,

but it makes him bad luck for everyone else.

So if Nori keeps wearing it...

we all end up like Lydia's loved ones.

We need to get through to the others.

Ellis said they're in the middle of a geyser field.

Come on, Ellis.

What are you doing?

I will not die by a coconut.

I can't get reception.

But we do have the number to Ellis's new satellite phone.

- Really? - Ha! Take that, bad luck.

- Meesha, it's dissolving! - Sorry, I couldn't see.

- What? No! - Whoa!

This looks like less of an energy spike

and more like someone had a major tantrum.

Or something? Maybe an animal?

Will it still be able to tell us

the location of the energy surges?

I'm going to ignore the idea

that there's a large, dangerous animal around.

Just focus on retrieving the data.

And saving the island, no pressure.

I'll have to get it back online first.

But it looks like the hard drive's missing. Let's find it.

We'll have to move fast, before the storm shuts us down.

Let's split up and look around for it.

♪suspenseful music

♪suspenseful music

Bingo.

Hey, Taylor, I think it's the hard drive.

Quick, let's see if Ellis can--

Taylor!

I'm okay, I'm okay.

♪dramatic music

Uh, Nori...

I'm surrounded. There's geyser vents everywhere.

♪ominous music

No, Nori, get back!

Taylor, get out of there.

Oh, Taylor!

Are you all right?

I saw...a vision.

- Okay, now's not the best time. - I can't control them.

Okay, I'll come get you.

The geysers won't go off if I'm around.

Sure, no rush.

Ugh! Another fail. Is that a nine?

- It's a six. - I just tried that.

Maybe we had it upside down.

We so don't have time for this.

They could be heading straight into fiery jets of death.

It's a five. It was definitely a five.

Hello?

Ellis?

Finally!

Well, look at that, the phone works.

And you were making fun of me--

Shush, Ellis! We don't have time for tech appreciation.

- Well, excuse me-- - Listen.

Nori needs to get rid of the bracelet.

We're all in massive danger.

That bracelet is bad luck for everyone, except Nori.

Stop! Stop moving!

- Stop! - I have to get to Taylor.

The geysers keep going off around her.

Yes, because of you!

What?

The bracelet doesn't just give you good luck,

it gives the rest of us bad luck.

Uh-oh!

Everyone stay still.

Don't move.

Did these just get more active?

Okay, that's it!

I'm completely done with being brave for one day.

We're all going to die!

I mean, except for Nori, we're all going to die!

My bracelet can't be responsible for all of this.

There has to be a way to undo it all.

If we destroy the bracelet,

that should cancel out the luck, good and bad.

Right now?

Okay, okay. But how?

It's metal.

Ellis, how hot is it inside the geysers?

200 degrees, and now is not the time to remind me.

What temperature does indium melt at?

400?

Wait, a thousand.

- Or is that copper? - Ellis!

I'm sorry, but it's really hard to concentrate

when I'm millimetres from being boiled alive.

Ellis, you know the answer. Just think.

Indium, indium, it drips and you'll slip at 156...

- 156 degrees! - That's it!

Then the jets of death can kill the luck, good and bad.

Think you can get a hole in one?

♪dramatic music

Nori!

I don't know what happened. I'm supposed to be lucky!

♪suspenseful music

Did it work?

I'm too scared to move.

♪upbeat music

Okay, don't get me wrong,

I'm glad we got through in time to save Taylor and Ellis,

I just, ugh, I really wish the bracelet

didn't come with a catch.

At least you got to prove luck is a thing.

Look what Faraz gave me - a beautiful lucky charm.

- Made of what? - You've heard of 24-carat gold?

This is 30. Nothing but the best for my sweet.

I hope this will prove

I will treat your nan like the goddess that she is.

Aw!

Okay, I guess he can have my blessing.

Most of the data's been corrupted,

but I can still see some dates when the energy spikes occurred.

I know these.

The night of the Ball...

The day of the eclipse...

The day Uncle Charlie disappeared!

The station wasn't reading the island's energy source,

it could tell when portals opened.

There might be more. I'll keep looking.

Could your vision tell us anything?

I don't think so.

What did you see?

I saw...

Something that can wait till later. Let's get back in town.

This storm's going to hit soon.

Luckily your dive test is inside.

We should get back right in time.

Great, I can't wait for my test

that I've been totally stressing over.

You've worked hard for this, Nori.

You just need to trust yourself, like you did with the geysers.

Well, I had luck on my side then.

Maybe I can come with you, be your new lucky charm?

That'd be awesome.

Congratulations!

What did I say? Luck, shmuck, who needs it?

I don't know, Nori may have had a little on this side.

Sounds like you did too.

Solving a mystery without our help? Total fluke.

I also solved another giant, life-altering catastrophe.

Your phone! It's all dried out.

- You're a legend. Thank you. - It's okay.

Guys, I've put together some of the other data.

It's the last few seconds

of the station's security camera before it went offline.

♪suspenseful music

Who is that?

Raquel!

Raquel's always been scary, but that is next level.

Impressive more like it.

She dismounted it with her bare hands.

Why would she do that?

With or without her memory, she wants Uncle Charlie back.

Right? And this could've helped.

Maybe she's covering her tracks.

But from who? Us or the South Section?

I don't know, but we definitely can't trust her.
