That Morning
Victor is seen putting a small black feather on top of a door frame that leads to the attic. In the living room, everyone is joking about how Vctor sprained his ankle. Victor comes in and announces to the students that he believes that someone is messing around in the house, and he is determined to find out who.

At school, Fabian is concerned and suggests to stop searching for a while since Victor is on to them, but Nina tells him that they should continue to search. In the bathroom, Mara complains to Patricia about Amber's constant talking of Mick. Mara confesses to Patricia that she likes Mick. She thinks that everything was going great during their study sessions and that Amber and Mick don’t have much in common. Amber overhears this while in one of the stalls.

That Night
In Alfie and Jerome's room, Alfie is upset at Jerome becuase Mick and Amber ended up back together. Jerome just tells him to give it time, and search for more girls. In Patrcia and Nina's room, Patricia tells Mara that she isn't mad at Nina anymore since she had nothing to do with Joy, but still doesn't trust her due to being secretive. Patricia remembers that Nina had hidden a box under her bed and quickly goes to look in it. She dismisses the key inside, but realizes Nina's diary was also in there. She reads it out loud, much to Mara's dismay, and reveals that Nina has a crush on Fabian. However, Nina also wrote that Patricia was the meanest person she ever met. Nina comes in just as Patricia puts the box away. She reminds them that Amber's and Mick's party had started, and Patricia just stares at her.

At Amber and Mick's party, Nina rushes to Fabian just as he is taking a bite out of a chip, and tells him to go to the attic while everyone else is distracted. They rush off while Jerome tells Alfie to get a girl with an "irresistable pick-up line." Alfie goes up to a brunette girl and whispers in her ear. However, the girl slaps him in the face, knocking his vampire teeth into Patricia's lap. Jerome laughs hysterically at Alfie's attempt.

Nina unlocks the door to the attic and her and Fabian run inside, unaware that they had caused the black feather on top of the door to fall. Back at te party, Mick apoligizes to Mara for straining Mara and Amber's friendship. Mara forgives and feeds him a chip. Amber arrives just then and distracts Mick. Then she turns to Mara and confronts her about flirting with Mick, and that she heard what Mara said in the bathroom. Mara looks at Patricia for help.

In the attic, Nina finds a brown box and opens it with her key. She and Fabian gasp at the several artifacts inside. Fabian suggested that they take the artifacts to his uncle to figure out what it was, but Nina says it was their secret. Then they hear a door slam, and Nina puts the artifacts in her bag and decides to leave. While in her room, trying to open the hexagnal artifact, Nina is greeted by Amber. Amber tells her that they missed that cake at the party, but notices the blue box that held the artifact and asked it if was a jewelry box. Nina denies, and Amber tells her that she was swithing with Patricia, and that she and Nina were going to be roomates. Amber says it's becuase of her fight with Mara. Both of them leave the room, unaware of Victor behind them.

Victor heads to the attic door and sees his feather has dropped, confirming his suspicions that someone has been going up into the attic. Back at the party, Fabian asks Nina to dance. Nina says yes and tells Fabian about her bad dancing just as Alfie runs in the room wth a stuffed deer head stuck on his head, and tries to scare everyone. Just then Victor heads downstairs and cancels up the party, demanding everyone who didn't live there out of the room. He yells at Alfie to take off the deer head, but Alfie complains it's stuck. Victor asks who took the spare attic key, but no one responds. Victor then drags Alfie out of the room to pull of the deer head.

Back at Victor's office, Victor begins harshly tugging at the deer head to get it off Alfie. But then Trudy comes in and scolds Victor for doing so, and leaves to get soap. While Victor continues pulling, Nina sneaks in and puts the spare attic key on the floor, and quickly exits. Trudy comes back with the soap, finds the key on the floor, and gives it to Victor.

The other housemates want to know why they should cover for Nina, and Fabian reminds them that they were the ones that made Nina steal the key in the first place. Victor returns holding the key, and once again demands to know who put it there. All the students claim innocence, however, Nina admits that she took it. Fabian quickly covers for her and says that he took it. Soon, all the house mates have admit that they were the ones that took the key. With no confession and not enough evidence to punish one of the students, Victor relents, but not before grounding the students for the remainder of the week. As Victor exits, he accuses Alfie of stealing the keey too and makes him clean the toilets with a toothbrush.

Next Day
Fabian approaches Nina about going to his Uncle Ade, an antiques dealer, who lives in a nearby town. Fabian thinks that they can get him to help them figuring out what they found in the attic. Nina agrees and they go to meet Fabian’s uncle. Ade greets them and is amazed at how tall Fabian has grown. He then addresses Nina as Fabian's girfriend, but Fabian denies.

At school, Amber asks Mick if they have more in common than him and Mara. Mick assures her that they do, and Amber walks with him, walking past and ignoring Mara. Mara turns to Patricia and wonders what is Amber deal. Patricia tells her that Amber will come around soon. Then Patricia realizes she forgot her French textbook back at the House, and leaves to get it.

Ade doesn’t know what the Egyptian puzzle is, but he says the wax cylinders are actually recording devices used for phonograms. Nina remembers seeing a phonogram in the attic and tells Fabian that they can use it to listen to the recording.

Patricia returns to the House after leaving her French textbook there. While there, she over hears a conversation between the police sergeant and Victor. Victor compliments the sergeant and keeping the Joy situation under control and says that Joy is now “buried for good." Patricia is horrified and runs upstairs to her room.
