Greenhouse Academy S1 E5

## Plot

Leo returns to the Ravens clubhouse… with Hayley, who decided to come back. Sophie tells Alex about it while the Eagles are warming up. He's glad, and Jason and Judy are a bit disconcerted. During the game, Daniel misses a shot, and he's clearly in pain from his ankle. Meanwhile, the Ravens are completing their Sheriff Woody assignment. Jackie admits to the rest of the class that she only saw the movie for the first time that day, and thanks Max for organizing a VIP screening for her. She thought of two words: Friendship, and humility. It's about a friendship between two leaders, like Daniel and Alex. Speaking of which, Daniel is unsteady, and is bleeding through his sock again. The coach sees that he's limping, and tells him to sit on the bench. There's two minutes left in the game, and Alex will be put in. However, he says no. If Daniel says he's fine, then he should stay in the game. He needs to make two free throws to win. He makes both. Unlike Woody, he didn't realize his mistake and admit to it. He isn't humble, and he doesn't show humility. He tells Alex that he'll never forget this, and then passes out. Everyone is concerned and horrified, especially Judy and Brooke. He's taken to a hospital. Judy may be a horrible person, and that's probably where Daniel gets it, but there's no doubt that she loves her son more than anything else in the world. Jackie thanks Max again, and asks him why he did it. He says that they're Ravens, and they're supposed to help each other out. She thinks she owes him now, but he says she doesn't. The Ravens hear about Daniel being hurt. Louis, Judy, and Brooke are waiting at the hospital. He's being operated on by Dr. Schwartz, who Louis knows well. Judy doesn't understand how he just collapsed, since he's strong and healthy. Brooke is talking to Sophie. She knew he was going through something, but chose to ignore it. Sophie says she didn't do anything wrong, but she thinks she should've insisted that Daniel tell her the truth. The doctor comes out. Daniel is still unconscious, but he'll recover. As for his leg, it's too early to tell. It depends on the damage done by the taser barb they pulled out of his ankle. It was the cause of the infection. Given how severe it was, the barb was in there for at least several days. The doctor has to notify the police. It's standard procedure for taser related wounds. Judy heads to Daniel's room to see him, and Brooke tells her dad that they need to talk. The other Ravens actually *celebrate* Daniel being hurt. Leo is angry and disgusted by their actions. They point out that if it happened to them, the Eagles would be celebrating. That's Leo's point. They're not like them. He heads to their clubhouse to offer his help. Louis is scolding Brooke for hiding the truth, and especially for believing Daniel threw a rock into the ocean. She could've saved the Ravens the trouble of taking polygraph tests. She says this already hurts enough as it is. He says this makes them look bad. She thinks he's worried about his reputation, but he says he's worried about her. He tells her that if the barb matches the taser the FBI found on the beach, they'll arrest her and Daniel. Technically speaking, neither of them lied to the FBI. They hid a lot of stuff they shouldn't have, especially Daniel, and while they should both be punished, they're still minors, and arresting them sounds like overkill. She's a witness who remained silent, which makes her Daniel's accomplice. The chief tells Eric to call Daniel in *for questioning* as soon as the barb comes back from the lab. In his hospital room, Judy asks the doctor if she can see the taser barb. He doesn't want to show it to her, and he can't anyways. It's classified. She compliments him and talks about sponsoring him in any of his endeavors. She's donated money to the Greenhouse, and is responsible for the new gym. It's clear that she's trying to bribe him, but it doesn't work. Besides, the barb is already en route to the lab for analysis. Brooke comes in, and Daniel wakes up. Hayley talks to Leo in the quad/outdoor cafeteria. The Eagles didn't let him in, but he did talk to Sophie, and learned about the taser barb. Hayley wonders if it has something to do with what the FBI was looking for. If Daniel is connected to it, Louis will have to kick him out of the school. Max asks Jackie to play chess with him, but she's playing pool. Emma agrees to play with him. She's played chess a few times before. She makes her first move. It's an English open, which Max says isn't bad. He's been playing since he was four. Daniel tells Judy, Louis, and Brooke the truth. Two weeks ago, during his morning run on the beach, he found the taser. He picked it up because he was curious. It hit his leg, and he pulled the wires out. A family came along. He didn't want to get in trouble, and panicked. He took the taser with him, and swears that he was going to give it to Louis. However, the FBI showed up, and he panicked again, so he threw it into the ocean. Louis is disappointed in him, as well as Judy. He admits that he really screwed up. Emma defeats Max, which shocks him. She's smarter than she lets on. Hayley and Leo go to his music room so he can let his anger out, and he sings a song for her. They learn that Daniel woke up, and he's okay. Eric learns from the chief that Perry never made it to the lab. His car overheated, and exploded. He's alright, but the taser barb was destroyed. Eric calls Judy, and tells her that the evidence is gone. Yep, he's working for her. Brooke overheard her end of the call. Max is googling Emma. Jackie decides that her favor for him will be setting him up on a date with Emma, because he clearly likes her. Daniel has to use crutches. He and Brooke learn from Louis that the case is closed because an accident destroyed the evidence. Daniel is amazed, but Brooke is confused, and asks about the accident. The others don't care though. Louis says that Daniel failed as a leader, and the only reason he won't expel him is because of all the contributions he and his mother have made to the Greenhouse. Isn't systemic nepotism and bribery great? This is what's wrong with colleges: Accepting rich kids that don't deserve it. For his punishment though, Daniel is no longer captain of the Eagles. The chief is questioning Eric and Perry about the car fire. It turns out that Perry works for Judy too. They're doing it for the money. Hayley asks Leo what his deal is with Daniel. They both have a job to be the best, and it often comes at the other's expense. Leo doesn't like him a lot, but he ultimately does care about and respect him. Hayley says that she thinks it's great that he feels that way. She likes that he's sensitive and nice. She kisses him, and they start making out.
