You do your thing, I'll do mine! No judgment!
* Screams *
Gifted Sarah: I see a handsome man.
Well, thank you.
You snooze, you lose.
Ava: Here is the dealio. Prove your worth to win my wealth by discovering my will.
Jolly good show.
So...controlling.
'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'.
When do we start?
Wait! One more thing. She said to give them this.
Six.
Not again.
Ruby: Why shouldn't I give Henry the clues? Only a relative can inherit Ava's fortune and Lillian has bulldozers on standby, ready to destroy the library.
By process of elimination, it has to be Henry.
Maybe he has a completely innocent reason for pretending to be British. It happens.
Ruby: So why shouldn't I take his money? After all, it's going to a great charity that my sister really cares about.
And I'll be saving the library and helping girls in the developing world all at the same time. How awesome is that?
I am a man of my word. £50 in return for your clue.
£50 per clue, right?
You found more than one clue?
Six.
Four now and two I can email you later.
Brilliant! Brilliant work. I may be a tad short... Will £160 suffice? I could remit the balance once I receive my inheritance.
£160 is still more than $200 Canadian.
Deal.
Lunch money.
They're puzzles. Wouldn't expect anything else from Ava.
I have to admit, I didn't personally know her that well. The O'Dearys and O'Henrys don't speak.
Was my great aunt terribly interested in puzzles?
She made them.
Have you solved these?
Some. Did you want the answers?
I think I'll give it a whirl on my own.
I think Ava would have liked that.
Where do you plan on looking next?
I've got some ideas.
You, my dear, are a regular Sherlock Holmes. He was British, you know.
You were holding a copy of 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' the other day at the memorial, right?
Ophelia mentioned that that was the first first edition Ava owned.
Do you think there's a clue in it?
There's gotta be!
Tally-ho!
I think we make an excellent partnership. Suggestion: we meet tomorrow. Same place, same time.
Perhaps I will have solved these by then.
Ruby: The accent's a bit strange, but I think his heart's in the right place.
Ruby: And he gave me £150. I can't wait to see Hailey's face when I tell her it's for Because I Am A Girl. She's going to love me forever.
Hello Rachel.
Ruby.
Whatever. Here's $100 for you.
And what do I have to do to earn this...bribe?
Find me the will.
And why would I do that if you're just gonna tear down the library?
Oh, aren't you so sweet.
No, I didn't mean that. That was actually just a joke.
Ruby: Note her fake smile and the way she's touching her nose? You don't even need those signs to tell she's lying.
Now, will you help me?
This is a really hard decision for me, but...no.
Fine.
Ruby: I solved Ava's Pinterest board and came up with the letter 'A'. And the 'Princess Bride' clue? 'B'.
Ruby: The clue Gifted Sarah gave me was a phone number which I just texted.
Ruby: What's Ophelia doing out of the library? And why does she look like she's in the Witness Protection Program?
* Incoming text *
Thanks for the letter 'M'. Got any more clues for me?
* Incoming text *
'R'. Awesome.
Ruby: What's that all about?
* Incoming text *
'What, two aren't enough for you?'
Ruby: 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'. Not another puzzle - just the letter 'T'.
Ruby: What have I got? 'U', 'E', 'A', 'B', 'M', 'R' and 'T'.
Ruby: With a dog named Snowy, I was sure there would be a clue in one of these. Why wasn't there an 'Anne of Green Gables' clue?
Ruby: Sherlock Holmes, don't let me down.
Diana: Good. You're already on your hands and knees. You can start begging me to take you to the concert with me.
Why are you spending so much time at the library? Did you finally learn how to read?
I just came to tell you how much money I raised for the challenge: $150. Do you know what that means?
You're a bigger loser than usual.
Oh, wow. $150? That's a lot of money. Wait. 100, 130, $150, too.
But wait a minute. These are in pounds sterling. In case you couldn't do the math, that's more than 240 Canadian dollars.
Who's the loser now?
This isn't over.
I think this might just be the best day of my life.
I just told off Diana, Hailey's gonna love me and I'm gonna save the library - all in one day.
Ruby: Ophelia!
* Screams *
Don't sneak up on me like that.
Sorry.
You don't know what it's like, working in a haunted library. And it's only getting worse.
Sorry. I'm looking for that first edition Sherlock Holmes I saw the other day - 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'.
It's up on the shelf under Conan Doyle.
It's not there. Not under Conan, not under Doyle.
Do you know what I'm going through? My nerves are fried. I'm surrounded by terrifying paranormal activity. Plus...
* Sneezes *
Working around all these dusty books... I can't stop sneezing. I can't take anything else.
Flowers. Who are they from?
Ava.
Ava?
How do you send flowers from beyond the grave?
Maybe her casket has Wi-Fi.
Lucky number 7.
My kit. With all my money in it. It's gone!
Diana!
I'm Jordan Prentice.
I'm on the set of Ruby Skye, P.I. and they want me to tell you to visit the clues at RubySkyePI.com. Check it out.
