Nancy Drew "The Terror of Horseshoe Bay"

Season 1 Episode 15

Original Air Date: 3-4-20

Synopsis:
With time running out before Carson's evidentiary hearing,Nancy turns to Supernatural sources in a last ditch effort to find clues to exonerate her father.

Recap:
Horseshoe Bay is getting ready to celebrate Harbor Day. 
Harbor Day marks the anniversary of the first ship that reached Horseshoe Bay. 

The Marvin family was one of the founding families of Horseshoe Bay much to the delight of Bess.

Legend has it that the ship wasn't supposed to stop in Horseshoe Bay it was actually supposed to be going to Virginia but an evil sea spirit drove the ship off course. 

It also says that one day a year,on Harbor Day you can look into a mirror and ask the spirit for something and it will be granted. 

The downside being that if your wish is granted your eyes will start bleeding and you have to pay the spirit a toll. 

As the town prepares for Harbor Day, Chief McGinnis decides to cancel all festivities since Joshua is still missing after trying to kill Nancy. 

Nick is still trying to figure out how Joshua managed to get the rare poison that he used to kill Tiffany.
George reminds Nick that the only other person that used that type of poison was serial killer Claire and suggests that they try to find a connection between Claire and Joshua.

Meanwhile, Nancy only has one day left to clear her father's name before he goes before a judge for the murder of Lucy Sable.

Nancy is hoping the emails that Ace uncovered between Ryan and Lucy will help Carson's case.
Nancy, Ace,and Nick head to the police station. Much to Ace's surprise he discovers that his dad is back to work at the Horseshoe Bay police department and is visibly worried.

Having Ace's dad there comes in handy when Nick asks him to help get a look at the case file on serial killer Claire. 

Karen suggests to Nancy that she should try to track down Ryan's roommates from boarding school and see if they remember anything from that time.

Owen calls Bess panicked when he hears about Joshua trying to kill Nancy and goes to meet her at the police station and decides to tag along to Ryan's old boarding school to see Nancy in action.

Nancy managed to track down one of Ryan's old boarding school roommates who is now CEO of a big corporation. Nancy and Owen meet with him on the premise of doing a deep dive background check on Ryan due to the #MeTooMovement before going into business with him. 

Ryan's former buddy assumes that Nancy is Owen's personal assistant. Owen thoroughly enjoys watching Nancy question him and realizes just how good she is at investigating. 

They learn that Lucy had showed up to the boarding school once and that she and Ryan had a huge fight.

 He also told them that when Ryan came back in, he told them he and Lucy had broken up. Nancy and Owen also learn that Ryan did sneak off campus for several hours to go meet Lucy the night she died.

Nancy realizes she has to take drastic measures if she wants to clear her father's name and decides to call on the Aglaeca for help. If she can find Lucy's bones she may have a shot at clearing Carson Drew's name.

Ace and Nick discover that the vial of poison from Claire's case was temporarily moved from evidence when the refrigerator had to be repaired. 

What happens next nobody would see coming!

Major Spoiler Alert:
It was a WTH! Moment when we learn that Karen stole the poison from evidence and replaced it with a vial of water and gave the poison to Joshua.

Karen had always believed that Ryan Hudson was to blame for Lucy's death and willingly helped Joshua by giving him the poison to use. 

Karen knowingly accused and arrested Carson Drew ( supposedly her friend) for the murder of both Lucy Sable and Tiffany Hudson, even though she and Joshua were responsible for Tiffany's death. 

Karen was willing to let an innocent man go to jail for a crime she helped commit. 

Owen, Bess, and George head over to The Historical Society to see if they can learn how to summon the Aglaeca. 

Armed with a spell and a wreath that Bess made to offer the spirit, Nancy, Owen, Ace,Nick,George,and Bess head to the water's edge.

The Aglaeca grants Nancy wish for the bones of Lucy Sable and they wash up on shore. 

The Drew Crew quickly gathers the bones and put them in a cooler. 

Nancy uses the mirror to see what the Aglaeca wants for its toll and much to her horror the Aglaeca wants Owen. She sees Owen being attacked and dragged down by an unseen force. They tear the wreath in half and the spirit releases Owen.

The next morning Nancy starts coughing and choking on water, we of course think it's Lucy trying to get her attention until Nancy throws up the wreath she tore up to release Owen from the Aglaeca.

B-PURE Gentle Skin Cleanser Review

I absolutely love trying new skin care products, especially those designed for people with sensitive skin like myself.  A few months ago on a trip to my local Dollar Tree I found the B- Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser and decided to give it a try.  Review  I was really surprised at how well the B-Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser worked at removing the dirt and oil from my face without stripping and irritating my skin. Let me just say it is definitely the most gentle skin cleanser I have ever come across. It leaves my skin clean, smooth and refreshed every time I use it. The B-Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser is now part of my daily 3 Step Skin Care Routine. I highly recommend trying it for yourself.
