Greenhouse Academy S2 E6

## Plot

Hayley and Daniel recognize each other's voices, and he tells her that he thinks it's his mom's phone. He hangs up when his mom comes back with the ice. He asks what the device is, and she claims that it's a makeup compact. Hayley heads back to the Greenhouse. She and Daniel talk that night. She explains where she found the phone number, and he explains that the device isn't a normal phone, and he found it in his mom's bag. They don't like each other, but in order to figure out what's going on, they have to work together. He says this is a little too much, since he's been injured for a long time, and the Eagles have a game in three days. He tells her that everyone he knows expects him to be this huge success. He's sick of doing what everyone expects him to do. She tells him that he can't spend his whole life trying to make others happy. That's what Leo told her in the first season. They can't let anyone know they're working together. Michelle's assistant asks her if she saw the new Greenhouse footage. She did, but says there wasn't anything interesting there. He shows her some footage from the dance. It shows Jackie in the background watching Emma and Max dance. He knows her. He covered her juvenile court session. He tells Michelle that she was sent to prison. Max teaches Jackie how to play chess. Aspen has to catch up in literature by Friday. Hayley comes back. Leo pays more attention to her than to Aspen, which she naturally doesn't like. Michelle can't publish Jackie's story. She's a minor, so they'd be violating confidentiality rules for juveniles involved in criminal proceedings. The only way around it is to get Jackie to confess on camera. If her story goes public, she goes back to jail. Michelle's assistant points out that Sophie worships her, so she could get a confession out of Jackie. That'd be asking a student to incriminate someone else though. She has to do the interview, but Louis will never let her in the school. She goes to see him, and he really doesn't like her. She offers to "make it up to him" by hosting a free media workshop. He agrees to it, and they plan it for that day. Everyone except Alex continues to ignore Sophie, even when she tries to be their captain. Daniel goes for a run in his new sneakers. Brooke wants to join him, but he says he needs to clear his head. Last time he said that, he threw a taser in the ocean. Then again, she's under mind control this time, so I don't blame her or him. Alex and Parker nearly get into a fight, and Sophie tries to break it up. Louis and Michelle enter. Hayley and Daniel head to the old biology lab, which is still a mess after the earthquake. They get out a whiteboard, and he gives Hayley a marker. It's one of Louis's inventions. He clicks a button, and the writing disappears. It's called quantum ink. They couldn't be sold because each marker costs five grand. Louis gave it to Daniel for his birthday. Their moms are connected, but they don't know how. Brooke started behaving strangely and did a 180 on Daniel and his mom. Marcus once checked out a book on hypnotism from the library, but that could be a coincidence. They deduce that he's the weakest link. Also, non-consensual hypnosis is impossible, but whatever, no TV show or movie cares about that. Michelle asks Sophie to pick the most interesting students for the workshop, and do some background checks for her. Hayley knows that her mom used to be close to Marcus when she was a student. Brooke once suspected Marcus, and followed him to the cave. The same cave where Hayley and Alex saw Judy on the night of the dance. Marcus is their lead. They look through the hypnosis book. He ripped out all the pages for chapter 10, which was about the process of dehypnotization. Louis wants everyone in the exam room. Aspen slips up, and accidentally tells Leo that sometimes she wishes she let Hayley drown. The earthquake was two days ago! He realizes that she saw Hayley before he showed up, and didn't help her. He's really angry at her now, and has every right to be. Aspen's acting like Lady Macbeth. The missing chapter is the only way to get the real Brooke back. The book is out of print though, and even if they did find it, they don't have time for it to be shipped over. The chapter could be hidden in Marcus's office. Daniel has a master key. Louis gave it to him back when he was still captain in case the Louie network ever went down, as a safety precaution. They can break in now, but they have to make sure Marcus isn't inside first. Alex notices Hayley and Daniel coming in late. Michelle interviews Parker first. Daniel leaves, and tells Brooke he's going to the bathroom. Hayley leaves shortly afterwards, and tells Alex she's gonna go get some aspirin for a headache. Michelle interviews Leo and Aspen next. Leo finally loses it, and walks out of the interview, as well as breaking up with Aspen. Louis thinks that's enough, but Michelle calls up Jackie for her last interview. Sophie didn't do any background research on her. Hayley turns the power off in Marcus's office, so he leaves to check it out. Michelle says that Jackie came to the admissions exams in handcuffs, and was sent to prison just a day earlier. Louis finally decides that that's enough, and tells Jackie not to answer her. However, she says that she was in jail, for robbing a bank. There's a lot of things she's not proud of, but thanks to Louis, she left it in the past. Louis kicks Michelle out. Daniel finds the chapter, and Marcus turns the power back on. He knocks over a box though, and he and Hayley try to put everything back where it was. Louis asks Marcus to escort Michelle back to her car. Hayley and Daniel head back to the lab, but Aspen sees them. Marcus goes back to his office… and finds the marker that Hayley accidentally left behind.
