== Transcript ==
(The episode starts by taking place outside of the Griswell residence and then zooms into the living room window where it takes place in the kitchen)
Mr. Danny: Maraya, Carolyn, while I’m gone, can you two be in charge of making the cookies for the party guests?
Ms. Carolyn: Sure thing, Mr. Danny. We’ll do anything for you.
Mr. Danny: Great. I put my recipe for them on the kitchen counter. I’ll be right back.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay. See you later.
(Door shuts)
Ms. Carolyn: Come on, Maraya, let’s get baking!
(Maraya follows Ms. Carolyn to another area of the kitchen)
Ms. Carolyn: Here’s the recipe. Maraya, how would you like to fetch the ingredients while I get the cooking stuff set up?
Maraya: Okay.
Ms. Carolyn: Wonderful! We need...2¼ cups of all-purpose flour. (not seen) 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ½ a teaspoon of salt, a cup of butter, but it must be softened.
(Maraya gets the butter out of the refrigerator and hands it to Ms. Carolyn)
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you, Maraya. Now, let me continue. A ¾ cup of granulated sugar, a ¾ cup of packed brown sugar, 1 egg, a teaspoon of vanilla, and finally, 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips. Okay, we’re all set. Let’s get started. 
(She walks over to the oven)
Ms. Carolyn: First, we need to preheat the oven to 375°.
(She preheats the oven to 375° and then walks back to get the butter)
Ms. Carolyn: Now, we need to soften the butter so it can be ready when we use it later.
(She puts the bowl with the stick of butter in it inside the microwave so it can get softened. Once she has done that, she walks back to where Maraya is)
Ms. Carolyn: While the butter is softening, we can get started on mixing the ingredients.
Maraya: Okay.
(As soon as Maraya hands the flour to Ms. Carolyn, a montage of them making the cookies plays. After they have baked two batches of cookies, the scene changes)
Ms. Carolyn: Phew, I need to go to the bathroom.
Maraya: Oh, me, too.
Ms. Carolyn: Let’s take a bathroom break and then we can go back to making the cookies.
Maraya: Okay.
(They both walk away from the counter to go to the bathroom. Meanwhile, Ms. Sherrit sneaks in to look around the kitchen)
Ms. Sherrit (sniffs): Something smells good. What could it be?
(She looks where the smell is coming from until she sees a plate of cookies)
Ms. Sherrit: Ah, cookies. I bet they’re for the party later. Oh, well, I guess I shouldn’t steal any.
(While looking around still, she finds the recipe)
Ms. Sherrit: Hmm, what’s this?
(She picks up the recipe to look at it)
Ms. Sherrit: This must be the recipe for the cookies. I’m sure Ms. Carolyn won’t mind if I borrow her recipe so I can make some for myself.
(Door opens)
Ms. Sherrit (gasps): That sounds like her. I better get out of here!
(She runs out of the house and shuts the door. Maraya and Ms. Carolyn come back in the kitchen to continue)
Ms. Carolyn: Ah, that’s better. Now we can continue on making the rest of the cookies.
(She tries to look for the recipe but doesn’t see it)
Ms. Carolyn: Hey, where’s the recipe?
Maraya: I don’t know. Did you lose it?
Ms. Carolyn: No, I’m sure I had it right here on the counter as soon as we left.
Maraya: Oh. Well, we can just make the rest without the recipe.
Ms. Carolyn: No, Maraya. We can’t make the cookies unless we have the recipe and it’s not here.
Maraya: Maybe someone stole the recipe while we were in the bathroom.
Ms. Carolyn: That’s it! Come on, Maraya. We need to get into our detective outfits so we can solve the mystery of who stole the recipe.
(They both run away to get their detective outfits on. The scene changes again to where they come back with them on)
Ms. Carolyn: I'm looking good in this detective outfit. Now, let's solve the mystery of who stole my husband's recipe.
(When she is about to walk out, Maraya stops her)
Maraya: Wait. Ms. Carolyn, we don't need to solve the mystery because I already know who stole it.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, you can't be too sure about that, Maraya. First, we must find three clues, and these three clues help us figure out who's behind all this. I'll show you, just follow me.
(They run out to the door. The setting changes to the front porch)
Ms. Carolyn: Now, Maraya, remember. We need to find three clues before we can figure out who the suspect is, like...that tube of lipstick! Look!
(She runs to pick up the tube of lipstick and then walks back to look at it)
Ms. Carolyn: This is our first clue: a tube of lipstick. Here, put it in your pocket, Maraya.
(Maraya puts the tube of lipstick in her pocket)
Ms. Carolyn: Let's look for more clues.
(They both walk down from the front porch to look for more clues. As soon as they are about to leave the driveway, Ms. Carolyn spots another clue)
Ms. Carolyn (gasps): Look, Maraya, another clue!
(She picks up the keys to look at them closer)
Maraya: What is it?
Ms. Carolyn: It's some keys, and look, there's a red key chain with an N on it. (she is seen again) I wonder what the N stands for?
Maraya: It's Northgate. Northgate High School.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, perhaps we should go to the school. These keys probably belong to somebody.
Maraya: But it's Saturday, Ms. Carolyn. Nobody will be there.
Ms. Carolyn: I'm sure there'll be some people in there. To the bus!
(They walk back to where her bus is parked. The setting changes to the inside of the bus)
Ms. Carolyn: Ready, Maraya?
Maraya: Ready!
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, then let's go.
(She cranks up the bus so she can drive it out of the driveway. The scene changes once again to where they are in the front office at school)
Ms. Amy: Hmm, I believe these keys belong to someone who works here.
Ms. Carolyn: That's what I said. We think they belong to someone. Do you know who these keys belong to?
Ms. Amy: I believe not, but I can try to call the staff and ask if they own them.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, we'll come back later. Come on, Maraya.
(They walk away from the front desk to go out. Setting changes again to the outside of the front office)
Ms. Carolyn: All right, so far, we've found two clues: the tube of lipstick and somebody's keys. But we need to find one more before we can figure out the suspect. 
(The bubble disappears)
Ms. Carolyn: Come on, Maraya!
(They walk off to find the final clue)
Ms. Carolyn: Have you found it yet, Maraya?
Maraya: No, how about you?
Ms. Carolyn: Nope, I haven't found it, either. Let's keep looking.
(While they continue to look for it, Ms. Sherrit is seen running somewhere with a binder in her arm)
Ms. Sherrit: Oh, I'm going to be so late!
(The recipe flies out of the binder and falls on the floor)
Ms. Carolyn (gasps): Look, it's Mr. Danny's recipe!
(She walks to pick it up and then walks back)
Ms. Sherrit: I think I dropped something. Let me turn back to pick it up.
(But when she turns around, she sees Maraya and Ms. Carolyn standing)
Ms. Sherrit: Maraya? Ms. Carolyn? What are you doing here?
Ms. Carolyn: So you were the one who stole my husband's recipe?
Ms. Sherrit: Uh, why would you think I stole it?
Ms. Carolyn: Because we watched you and this came out of your binder.
Maraya: Yeah, and so did this tube of lipstick.
Ms. Carolyn: And these keys that we found in my driveway and took to the front desk to investigate.
Maraya: So what do you have to say for yourself, you thief?
Ms. Sherrit (sighs): Okay, I confess. I stole the recipe so I can try to make some cookies myself because they look so good. And speaking of which, I brought two batches with me and I want you to have them.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, we could've not asked for more. Thank you so much.
Ms. Sherrit: You're welcome.
Ms. Carolyn: Next time you want to borrow the recipe, make sure you ask first before you do so.
Ms. Sherrit: Okay, I will from now on.
Ms. Carolyn: Wonderful! Speaking of borrowing the recipe, we're having a party at my house tonight. Would you like to go?
Ms. Sherrit: I would love to! I'll just find a babysitter to look after my son while I'm gone.
Ms. Carolyn: Great! See you there!
(They both walk away from her. It changes to where the party is going on a few hours later)
Ms. Sherrit: These are the best cookies I've ever tasted. Thank you, Maraya and Ms. Carolyn, for making them for us.
Ms. Carolyn: No problem.
(Mr. Danny enters the chat)
Mr. Danny: Oh, there you are. I was worried about you.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, you didn't have to worry about us because we were fine.
Mr. Danny: I see. Ms. Sherrit, what are you doing here?
Ms. Sherrit: Maraya and Ms. Carolyn asked me if I wanted to go to your party, so that's why I'm here.
Mr. Danny: Ah, I see. Well, enjoy your chat, ladies.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you!
(The scene changes again to where the party is over an hour later)
Mr. Danny: Maraya, Carolyn, since you two have done a great job solving the mystery of who stole my recipe, I think you two should taste the cookies you've made yourselves.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you, dear.
(She grabs two cookies and passes one to Maraya)
Ms. Carolyn: To the best friends who have solved the mystery, let this memory always go down in history.
(They both start eating their cookies and then while they are still chewing, the scene fades out to an end)
