To listen without ads, go to gzmshows.com slash subscribe. There are kids in this world who are different, special. One of them found us and became family. But her time ran out. And now, that girl is missing. How did he find me? Dr. J.P. Whittier? He's one of the most famous scientists in the world. Why would he be looking for you? Monica, please. Just trust me.
I need you to get me out of here. Now. What's happening?
Chapter 2: How do James and Monica connect with a robotics expert?
Please. He's going to be at the door soon. We don't have much time. Uh, okay. Laura, give me the phone. Here. Don't tell me you're calling... Anders Residence. James. Laura, shh! Monica, is that you? James, I need your help. Yeah, sure, name it. We need to hide Holiday somewhere. Easy, my basement. Can you get out of the house?
Chapter 3: What secrets are revealed about Holiday's identity?
Yeah, I think so. Okay, have her come through the garage and down the basement steps. No one can know, okay? It's cool. My parents aren't even here. James, thank you. Okay, Holiday, I need to stay here and figure out what's going on, but you should go. James' house is... I can take her there. Are you sure, Laura? I ride my bike that way all the time.
Okay, but drop her off and come right back home. Got it. Thank you both so much. Come on, Holiday. Monica, where is Holiday and your sister?
Chapter 4: Why is Dr. Whittier searching for Holiday?
Mom, did you know Dr. Whittier was coming here? I didn't expect him to come himself, no. What is this about? Because I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the fact that he's my hero. I did what I would expect any mom to do if a runaway showed up at her house. I contacted the parent. Parent? That girl's name is not Holiday, Monica. It's Adelaide. Adelaide Whittier.
Holiday is Dr. Whittier's daughter? Mom, what are you saying? I have to get that. Hello, Dr. Whittier. Mrs. Purcell, you phoned about the girl?
Chapter 5: What challenges do the characters face while hiding Holiday?
Yes, she's calling herself Holiday. But like I said, I recognized her immediately. My daughter is a big fan of yours. Her dream is to work with you someday. Where is this Holiday? Holiday? Holiday, sweetheart, please come out. Monica, where did she... Monica? You let her leave? Excuse me, I didn't let her do anything. She's a strong-minded girl. Ah... The girl is in the wind. Find her.
I still hear pen up in the vents.
Chapter 6: How does the group plan to search for Penn?
Just keep following the sounds. Why are these halls not lit better? Probably because we aren't supposed to be down in this part of the school. Just turn on your phone flashlight, will you? You know, Brinley, I've been thinking maybe you should leave this to me. Why? Because it could be dangerous. Which is exactly why you need me. Only one of us is a trained tracker and hunter.
What I mean is, it seems like when you get close to Penn, you start to glitch. So you're scared. I'm not scared. I'm worried. For you. For me?
Chapter 7: What revelations come from the interactions with Dr. Adam Head?
Yes! So... Boiler Room? Straight out of a horror film. Fun. See anything? Look! Pens, what do you record by D? So he's been hiding out down here. But where is he now? Oh no. Not again. It sounds like fun, but I'm going to have to miss the prom. You're leaving again. Holiday court mission. You guys have a great time.
Chapter 8: What implications arise from a world without Holiday?
You sure you can't wait? Don't you want to do something really normal? Normal is not really in the cards for me right now, Sai. Come on. Brinley, help me out here. Brinley? Brinley? Brinley! Where'd you go? Cyrus? It happened again? He's close. James? Down here, Holiday. Holiday! You made it! Katie? Uh, surprise? Let me get some snacks and you guys can catch up. Katie, why are you here?
You first. The 11-year-old version of my Aunt Laura brought me. But I guess that's not what you're asking? No. Dr. Whittier. He found me. What? Showed up in a helicopter a few minutes ago. It doesn't make sense. How would Whittier even know I exist? I mean, I don't get built until years from now. Well, he found out somehow. Popcorn, pretzels, cheesy puffs. Solid assortment. Perfect. Thanks.
Listen, Holiday, you're safe here, okay? You can hide out as long as you need. My parents are out of town, and even when they're not, they're pretty distracted. Who was that? Guys, you down here? Monica, we're here. Hey, James. Katie? Hello, Monica. James, um, what's she doing here? Uh, well, she needed a place to stay while she's figuring out stuff with the carnival. We made a deal.
A deal for her to sleep over at your house? It's really not a biggie. Really? Yeah. Sure, I'm just surprised, you know. Hey guys, can we maybe focus on the Whittier issue? If that guy's here, it's bad news for everyone. Trust me. You know J.P. Whittier? Oh yeah, but what I don't know is how he found Holiday. My mother. She contacted him. What? Why? Holiday, are you Dr. Whittier's daughter?
No, but I do know I look a lot like her. Someone's here. Monica, is there any way you were followed? I don't think so. Holiday, don't you know karate or something? It's actually jujitsu, but I'm not sure this is the time or place... You're a few years older, but it's... it's uncanny. I don't know who you think I am, but please, stay back. Dr. Whittier? Step aside, young lady.
This doesn't concern you. Dr. Whittier? Don't talk to my daughter like that. I'll take it from here, Mrs. Purcell. I beg your pardon? I... I don't like your attitude. And frankly, your daughter seems afraid of you. When you called last night, my daughter Adelaide was reading her book on the couch beside me. What? But I was certain... Well, guess everyone made a mistake, huh?
I'm not who you thought I was. I know exactly who you are, Holiday. What did you see, Brinley, in your visions? I saw... us. You and me. Yeah, I think... I think we were a couple. I think we were going to go to the junior prom together. Oh. Your sister was there, too. Bertie? No, the other one. Holiday. We all seemed... happy. Maybe if we find Penn, he can help us get it back.
Not gonna be easy if he doesn't want to be found. Plus, at some point we're gonna get busted sneaking around the school. Homecoming ticket sales close in six minutes. I repeat, six minutes. I just had an idea. Come on. Whoa, where are you pulling me to? We can use the dance tonight as a cover to search for Penn. Wait, so you're asking me to the dance? Uh, well, I guess I am.
So, like, we'll go together? As dates? Well, dates. Searching for a kid who makes portals? Oh, okay, yeah. Good. Good. I'll go get two tickets. If you're sure you're in. We have like four minutes left to get them, but I'm in. Hurry! It's a date! But not a real one! I gotta find a dress. Wakey, wakey, Adam. Come on, mate. It's chit-chat time. The silent treatment, huh?
