{WINTER FINALE} 1x09 - "The Hidden Staircase" Episode Discussion (REWATCH: WEEK 9)



1x09 - "The Hidden Staircase"
Episode Discussion





In our winter finale, Nancy and the Drew Crew desperately search for George's missing sister,
Ted, whose kidnapping eerily mirrors the investigation that started Nancy's sleuthing career.
Meanwhile, while revisiting the trauma of her past, as a means to solving the present-day
mystery, Nancy finally reconnects with her father just as an escalation in the Lucy Sable
investigation threatens to separate them forever.

I might be the only one, but I thought this ep was kind of boring
The promo made it seem a lot more interesting.

I really thought they were going to find Ted in a hidden crawlspace or something. It didn't seem all that hard to find her.

I did like the hug scene between Nancy and Carson though. But too bad he got arrested at the end. I can't believe Karen would snoop through Nancy's diary...

Ohh nice, Ace is out of his coma. Hopefully he'll be in the next ep.

I liked this episode, how it had flashbacks of a younger Nancy. And seeing her deal with what happened in the past. Just when Nancy and he dad makeup he gets arrested from information in her diary. that sucks!

IDK but I’m getting a vibe like they might be pairing George/Nick together. Been noticing this for a couple of episodes now. Glad they found Ted!

Great Ace is not in a coma anymore, there should’ve been a scene of that...

I could be okay with Nick/George if that means we can also get Nancy/Owen.

I don't like Karen. Nancy's diary is just that... her diary. No touch. It's personal!

yeah i didnt like that karen went through her diary either and used that to have nancys dad arrested. not cool at all.

i totally thought ted was going to be in the staircase too. that was kinda a letdown. although that three / simon thing was kinda creepy.

i did like the nancy/dad moments. glad they finally started to bond again.

did you get the Owen/Bess vibe? they seem to be hanging out in this ep. even though they might possibly be related i got the impression he was hoping they wernt he he likes her.

im glad ace will be ok. but on the whole this ep was kinda boring.

Tonight was a really quiet night for me so I decided to do my rewatch!
  • Nancy is in full research mode and I love it
  • Carson and Karen....it's been a while since we've seen them and it was nice
  • Poor George has so much going on. But her calling Nancy for help and how the Drew Crew supports her is really sweet.
  • Also when George apologized for needing help it broke my heart a little bit. I also have a hard time with that and I'd love to see more of her opening up.
  • Oooo the flashbacks to baby Nancy and her first case and all the Easter eggs are cool.
  • Nathan is so creepy. But Nancy saying "other than you being brought to justice by a 7th grader" to him was awesome.
  • Ooo Carson mentioning an employee from the ice cream emporium. Probably nothing, but it stuck out to me with what we know now.
  • Owen and Nancy flirting is a little less weird now that she and Nick aren't together anymore. This scene makes their age gap (he was a freshman in college when she was like 12?) look huge though.
  • Nancy puts everything together like a boss.
  • Nick looking out for Nancy and not wanting her to go to the warehouse alone is kind of cute. But she's gonna do what she wants...why is why they didn't work together.
  • Lol at Nick telling Nancy's dad on her
  • Carson entering a creepy demon infested warehouse for Nancy is a cool dad move
  • This bothered me the first time I watched the episode and it still does lol, like yes it's open and on her bed but Karen reading Nancy's diary is a HUGE invasion of privacy.
  • Poor Nancy has so many repressed memories and emotions that she's been dealing with since she was 12. That's a long time.
  • The shrine is quite creepy tbh. I was very happy when Nancy burned it
  • Nick helping George and George is such a good sister. She cares so much and knows her sisters so well
  • George hugging Ted and then hugging Nick
  • Nancy expressing emotions and communicating her feelings to Carson...groundbreaking....it's great to see her open up.
  • Ace is okay!
  • Owen agreeing to a random DNA test right away lol
  • Nancy finding the letter from Kate was very sweet. She and Carson were great parents.
  • Nancy and Carson are starting to get close again...but then he gets arrested *This is Why we Can't Have Nice Things plays*

Since I didn't watch the show as it aired I actually didn't know this was the winter finale but it works really well as one. Carson getting arrested is a great and suspenseful ending! I wonder if we'll see Simon again? The episode kind of implies that he's still out there.

I guess he's supposed to be like 5 or 6 years older than her...so that sounds about right. Every time Owen and her crossed paths...he was always hitting on her and Nancy (regardless if she was with Nick or not) welcomed the attention.

100%!!!! Nancy only really trusts herself completely. I would love, love, love to see her open up to someone completely (*COUGH*Ace*COUGH*). I think opening up to one person would help her to open up in general to everyone a little more.

Hmmmm...maybe. That would be pretty cool!

Also, Karen is the literal WORST!! I hated how she screwed over both Carson (WHO SHE DATED) and Nancy by invading her privacy. Although Karen was just trying to hide her own guilt over being an murderer herself.
