The Maze of Bones

Dan tries to relax as he has an asthma attack from all the smoke inhalation. The police attribute the fire to arson. In the police car, Amy and Dan debrief what happened, wondering about the identity of the man in the dark suit and their own mother’s involvement in the clue quest. Dan resents that Amy can remember more about their parents than he can. They need an adult to chaperone them on the quest and realize they have the perfect person: their au pair, Nellie Gomez.

They ride home and find Nellie on the sofa listening to loud music and typing on her phone. The siblings ask Nellie if she would chaperone them on a special family scavenger hunt that would require them to travel to fantastic places. Nellie isn’t sure and wants to check with Aunt Beatrice, but the siblings talk her out of it. When Nellie asks how they plan to pay for the trip, Amy offers up Grace’s jewelry box, claiming that Grace left them the jewelry specifically to fund the trip. Amy keeps Grace’s signature jade necklace as her sole keepsake. Nellie calls her father to tell him she is leaving on a trip.
