Greenhouse Academy S2 E9

## Plot

Leo wakes up in the cell in the cave, right next to Marcus, who knocked him out. Brooke tells Judy that she and Daniel were meant to be. We flashback to everyone discussing the plan in the lab. While they're at dinner, Max is going to call Jason and tell him that he thinks he found Emma's chess set in the Ravens' clubhouse, to make him think he might've taken the wrong one. He goes to his office to see if someone has taken the chess set. Daniel spills on Brooke's dress, and she pretends to leave to clean it. In reality, she follows her brother to see exactly where he hid the chess set. She claims she wants stain remover for her dress, and bumps into him. He drops the chess set, and the pieces fall onto the floor. She helps him pick it up. She takes the white knight pieces, and replaces them with exact replicas that Max made. After all that, Max texts Jason that it wasn't Emma's chess set. Brooke hands the pieces over to him. At the cave, Leo says that he'll do what Marcus asked, and leaves. He seems hypnotized at first, especially with the dialogue choices and monotone voice. Max examines the chess pieces, and Brooke and Daniel return to the clubhouse, where Alex is waiting. Max finds a chip in one of the pieces. Eric and Perry are making sure Max doesn't reach Emma. Her new phone is tapped. Carter overhears them talking about the Greenhouse. They claim it's paperwork from the taser investigation. Carter read their report though, which said it ultimately wasn't connected to the Greenhouse. He notices Perry wearing a ten grand Rolex watch. Eric says it's probably a fake. At the lab, Alex, Hayley, Max, Jackie, Daniel, and Brooke meet up to find out what was on the chip. It's a video of Emma from the night she left the Greenhouse. She apologizes for lying, and says she hacked into the NASA servers on the day of the launch and brought down the satellite. She did it all from Max's laptop, and that's why she was late for their date. His laptop can access encrypted sites that normal ones can't, and he showed it to Emma to impress her. She reveals that Jason told her to do it. He said he was working for the government on a classified project, but that was a lie. He never told her they were going to shut down the satellite. He threatened to kick her out, and then she agreed to leave after she called NASA. She doesn't know who he's working for, but she knows he's not alone. She tells Max to be careful and trust no one. Alex wants to go to the police. All they have is Emma's confession though. It's still her word against Jason's. He and Judy are working together, and it has something to do with Ryan's research. Daniel looks it up, and says she had a Ph.D. in geophysics at Caltech. CSL is mentioned in her obituary from the LA Times. That's the Caltech Seismological Laboratory. Seismology is the study of earthquakes. Brooke remembers hearing Marcus talk about an earthquake in the cave. They knew the earthquake was coming. Eric talks to the chief. I finally found out that his name is David Diggs. Eric claims that Carter's paranoia is coming back. Alex wants to tell Brandon Thomas about the satellite, but Brooke wants to tell her dad first. The others remind them that Emma said to trust no one. Brooke remembers that Eric was the one who took her to the cave. It really shakes everyone up to know that people close to them, people they thought they could trust with anything, are involved. Parents, siblings, friends. Alex tries to warn his dad, but he declines the call. He breaks into Eric's computer, but he's caught. He knows he and Perry are hiding something. He opens the envelope, and realizes that Eric stole the letter. He attacks him, and the chief dismisses him. Hayley can't get to him either. Daniel decides to go to the cave and tell his mom that he knows everything, but the others point out that that's a bad idea. They're all still teenagers, and they have no idea what to do next. Leo tells Hayley that he wants to talk to her alone, and says it's about her mother. She decides to go. Daniel wants to come with her in case it's a trap, but she tells everyone to stay there. We flashback to Leo's time at the cave. He wasn't hypnotized. Marcus said he'd never do that again, and showed him Ryan. The only way to keep her alive was to put her in a coma. Again, for ten months? If the people he's working for found out she was still alive, they'd kill her. He was working with them for the money at first, but then they started blackmailing him. He can wake Ryan up once he's done with the mission. Why not sooner? He doesn't tell Leo what the mission is. He knows the kids are close to discovering what they're doing here, and once they do, they'll try to stop them. He tells Leo that if he wants Hayley to see her mother alive again, then he has to let Marcus and the others accomplish their mission. He says it'll all be over in a few hours. Leo tells Hayley everything Marcus told him.
