Terms and conditions apply. you you There are kids in this world who are different. Special. They look like us and they act like us. But they are not us. Mom, Dad, the reporter's gonna be here any second. We still need to talk about what we're gonna say if she asks. Knock, knock. Jezebel Harrington, Juno Star-Ledger. Anybody home? Oh, uh, hi, Miss Harrington.

I'm Cyrus Sanders. It's a pleasure to meet you. Of course it is. This is my assistant. You're a photographer? Sure, whatever. We're here to interview you about... the robotics competition. Um, let me get my parents. We're here, Cyrus. So nice to meet you. Monica Anders. Of course. Doctor and mother. Not necessarily in that order. And this is James, Cyrus' father. Oh, that's a lot of pictures.

May I offer you some coffee? Or cookies. I baked them myself. No, thank you. I just came from visiting Cyrus's science partner, Casey. They had a full brunch spread. Is that right? So, we'll only be five or ten minutes, you know. Science rocks, really cool opportunity, blah, blah, blah, photo, photo. Blah, blah? So, what's so great about science? You guys, you guys! Birdie, slow down! Badger left a warning note. Someone at the school is spying on us! Did you just say, spying? Monica!

You dropped the cookies. I am so clumsy. Ms. Harrington, this is our daughter, Birdie. And your other daughter? Yes, this is... Holiday. Girls, this is the reporter interviewing us for the newspaper. Hello. Um, hi, Mrs. Reporter. Jezebel Harrington, Juno Star-Ledger. Did you say there's a spy at the school? Spy? No, I said pie. There's a pie at the school. Reporter's ears, honey. You said spy. Holiday, why don't you and Bertie go upstairs and do your homework so we can finish the interview?

Actually, I'd love for the girls to stay and for them to tell me about this spy. I don't see what this has to do with Cyrus's competition. I, um... We, uh, made up a game. Spy Patrol. I plant clues around town and Birdie tries to figure out where the super secret spy is. And now the spy is in your school? Yeah, how about that?

We encourage our kids to get creative so they don't spend their lives staring at screens. Okay, that'll do, girls. I'd like them to be a part of the article. We'd rather keep this on Cyrus. So, Holiday. Principal Polly told me that you and Cyrus are quite close in age. You must have noticed his affinity for science early. Oh, uh, yeah, super early. Cyrus equals science for like as long as you can remember.

Great, I'll quote that. Like and all. Can you give me like an example from your childhood? Childhood? I believe Cyrus has a story. Yeah, sure, of course. I'd like to hear from your sister. It's not all about you, Cyrus. But the article is about me. Holiday. She's very busy and- Oh, what about your eighth birthday? My eighth- Or was it your ninth? When you mix the thing with the thing? Nitric acid with hydro... Hydrocortisone, right. Hydrazine. Right, see? Total brains of the family, and it...

Boom, caused a mini explosion in the empty parking lot. You were creating explosives at the age of nine? Totally by accident. He's not into exploding things, right, Cy? Right? Okay. What I'm trying to say is my brother might be the smartest person I've ever met. His desire to explore scientific methods is simply delightful.

And he definitely doesn't know anything about spies or secret lab experiments. How about we take that photo now? I'd really like the kids to get started on their homework. Certainly. Let's start with one of the whole family. Again, we'd prefer to let Cyrus have his moment. Could you stop taking those photos, please? Doing my job, man. Come on, guys. Let's squeeze together. No, actually, we'll pass. That's okay. I think we got enough candids. Right, Phil? Yep.

We're all set. Perfect! You guys are a great looking family. You're going to look fantastic in the newspaper. You don't have to walk us to the car, Jim. It's James, and it's my pleasure. I just want to reiterate how proud we are of Cyrus. Article will be up online in a week. Click and share. And I'm requesting that you use photos of him and not the rest of the family. My daughters are very private. Sure, sure. Miss Harrington? Bye-bye now.

They're gone. I have no idea if she's gonna use those photos. Whatever. That's the least of it. Talk. What spy? How did you find this note? So, I had Badger's jacket, and we found it up on the radio tower, and when I put it on, I found this note in the pocket. Kinda makes sense. Kinda doesn't. It says, Spy in the School. C.N. Flashcard. C.N.? Military speak. CN means codename. So Whittier calls the spy flashcard? That could be anybody.

Kids, has anyone at the school been asking you a lot of questions, showing up wherever you are, anything like that? I guess. Let's make a list of suspects. The nurse. She was annoying today. She was definitely asking questions. What about your science teacher? Didn't he get curious when you dropped that knowledge in class? Principal Pelé, she came here looking for holiday. What principal makes house calls? We need to be careful.

I'll search the records of everyone that works at the school. We'll go through them together. We don't want to miss anything. Let's go up to the office, James. You kids get ready for dinner. I should have known. Mom and Dad will sort this out. It's nice they have my back, but we both know none of those people's flashcard. What do you mean? It's obvious, Sai. There's only one person in the school who's been up in my business since day one.

The person who follows me around and broke into my locker. Holiday, are you saying... Yes. Brinley is the spy. I just realized your business needed to hire someone yesterday.
