Greenhouse Academy S2 E8

## Plot

Brooke wakes up. They explain that she just came out of hypnosis. She sees the whiteboard full of names, and is really confused. They ask her what she remembers. She remembers the cave and the cell. Marcus was there. He kept apologizing, but he wouldn't let her out. And then Judy came over. Someone slips a note under Louis's door. Brooke says she heard computer sounds, and remembers seeing a giant black rock behind a glass wall. That's the magnetite. It's what connects Ryan and Judy. Hayley wants to talk to Marcus. She's not afraid of him, and thinks he wants to help. Brooke points out that he locked her up and hypnotized her. Hayley tells her that he also gave them the keyword to wake her up. She thinks they can trust him. However, his office has been cleaned out. Sophie makes Alex go for a run with her. Brooke is clearly traumatized by what she went through. Daniel tells her she's been hypnotized for about a week. What? Just a week? She asks how he figured it out. She kept saying that they were meant to be. She remembers that Judy said that to her. She also remembers kissing Alex before everything happened. Louis tells Hayley that Marcus gave him his letter of resignation. He can't believe it. She claims that a light bulb went out in the clubhouse, and leaves. She tells Brooke and Daniel. Jackie wants to tell her about Jason. She drops the title of the episode. Max was the one who was suspicious, but she always dismissed it. He says it could just be a coincidence, and she tells him to call Emma. Her phone line has been disconnected. Daniel wants to confront his mom. Hayley says that's a bad idea. They don't know what she and Marcus are planning. She talks him out of it. She doesn't think they should tell Louis either. Brooke and Daniel think they should. They're interrupted by Jackie and Max arriving. They don't think they should tell Louis. They're not sure they can trust him. There are things Brooke doesn't know about Jason. Judy finds out about Marcus resigning, and yells at him. He claims that he couldn't handle the pressure between her asking him to step it up and Louis asking him to run errands. She tells him to stop whining and finish the job. The others aren't sure what Jason wanted from Emma, but they think there's a clue in her chess set. They tell the others that he lied to them about sending it back to Emma. Judy calls Daniel, but he doesn't answer. Then she calls Brooke. Hayley tells her to answer it. Their only advantage is that Judy doesn't know that they dehypnotized her. She has to keep acting like nothing happened. Brooke answers. Judy invited her and Daniel to dinner, and she said yes. She promises to find the chess set if it's there. They have to act like nothing's wrong or different. Max and Jackie leave first. Brooke tells Daniel and Hayley to go next, and she'll wait and go last. She says she wants to do this. She hugs Daniel, and then she hugs and thanks Hayley. Once she's alone though, she understandably cries and breaks down from the weight of all the trauma and betrayal. Way to go make me cry too, Grace Van Dien. This is easily one of my favorite scenes in the whole series. I like the extreme lighting from all the windows too. Hayley assures Daniel that Brooke will never forget that he saved her. He can't blame himself for his mom hypnotizing her. He did everything he could once he realized something was wrong. He says that maybe it's too bad he realized the truth. He wouldn't stay with her in that condition, but he also wouldn't want to know that his mom's a criminal. They look at the photo of Ryan. She was a wonderful woman and a hero, and now she's dead, as far as they know. Judy is alive and well, but Daniel can't even look her in the eye. He tells Hayley that he'll be okay. They both want to know what's going on. With the Eagles' winning attitude and the Ravens' strategic thinking, they make a pretty good team. Leo is venting in his music room. Aspen knocks at his door, but he refuses to let her in. After awhile, the knocking continues, but it's Hayley. Sophie and Alex are running by the beach. He thanks her for dragging him out there, because he really does feel better. In turn, she thanks him for standing by her side when Parker and everyone else shut her out. Brooke comes up to them and asks Alex if they can talk. He agrees. Hayley says she never thanked Leo for jumping into the ocean to save her, and he says she doesn't have to. She tries to explain the kiss, but he says he doesn't want to talk about it. She says that she and Daniel aren't actually together. It's a long story, but they had to pretend to be a couple so no one would figure out what they were really up to. He asks what they were up to. She says it's a secret, but she's gonna tell him anyways. Brooke told Alex everything too. Leo wants to get the police involved. They won't believe them without proof. He wants to send police to investigate the cave, but Hayley says it's too risky. They don't know who else is involved. Brooke has to go to dinner and pretend like she's still working for Judy. She tells Alex that she remembers what happened between them, and they kiss. Max, Jackie, and Hayley are waiting in the lab. Louis, Jason, and Judy are setting up for dinner. Daniel and Brooke arrive. Leo takes matters into his own hands and investigates the cave. For a leader, he's kind of an idiot. Someone attacks him from behind.
