Everything is copy the copy here being Andie and Sal.
Enter: the adorkable Ravi Singh, Pips knight in Carhartt armor.
Ravi and Pips friendship has progressed to the point where Pippagigglesevery time she receives a text message from him.
He is a man in love!
Ravis quiet nature fits perfectly with Pips forwardness.
He becomes himself around Pip.
And Pippa, in turn, could learn from Ravis ability to hold his tongue before he speaks.
They should be partners.
Both as detectives and, if I had my way, in life.
Over at the Ward household, Pip makes amends with Cara.
I think sometimes I get fixated on something and I cant do anything else, she says.
Cara accepts her apology as long as Pippa promises to leave Naomi out of it.
Everything Pippa does is related to this damn case!
In fact, quite the opposite in the book, the pair are mortal enemies.
This adaptation makes things a bit spicier with Nat and Andie being secretlyfrenemies.
Did a super-weird girl contact you about Andie?
He smirks at Pip.
Okay, now Imblushing.
One text leads to another, and Emma asks if Nat told Pip about Secret Older Guy.
But its forgivable, just this once.
Finally, Pip has an opportunity to get her mind off Andie.
This gives Pippa and us, too some much-needed respite after weeks of investigation.
The only time Andie Bell is mentioned is when the boys offer to tell ghost stories.
But that respite cant last forever.
Moments later, a folded note appears in Pips sleeping bag: STOP DIGGING PIPPA, it reads.
Lack of commas aside, whoever wrote this note clearly doesnt know how bad an idea it is.
What have we learned about Pippa?
Any time shes told to stop, she goes evenfurther.
This episode maintains a perfect 50-50 balance between mindless friend-group drama and actual murder drama.
Using the same texting technique as earlier, Ravi and Pip pretend to be Emma texting Nat now.
For a minute, Ravis emotional approach actually works.
Nat reveals the Secret Older Guy was Max Hastings.
But Pippa always has to mess things up, doesnt she?
Pip ditches Ravi (ugh) and returns to Max Hastingss house (double ugh).
Did she not learn last time that Max is to be avoided at all costs?
The problem here is that Ravi is quite fond of Max, Sals best friend.
Hes too biased to be involved.
Its actually rather nice that Max isnt a one-dimensional d-bag.
Before Pip can make a run for it, Max emerges from the bathroom.
You wouldnt be in this situation if you had simply agreed with Ravi and gone home.
Let this be a lesson: Always listen to Ravi.
But the tension between evil Max and goody-goody Pippa makes my heart do backflips.
Pip accuses Max of sleeping with Andie, but he only cackles at that assumption.
He wasnt sleepingwith Andie.
He was buying drugsfrom Andie; she worked for a dealer.
Shell need to find him at some event called a calamity party.
Ring a Bell?
Pippas backstory is a little confusing, but hints are scattered throughout the first two episodes.
Pips dad died when she was really little, and her mom remarried soon after.
She had another kid, Pips half-brother, Josh (Kamari Loyd), with Victor.
Lauren reveals that Cara has a crush on a girl named Ruby.
Pip is upset because Cara didnt tell her.
We find out Nat is the younger sister of police officer Dan da Silva.
Dan is the super-handsome guy who stole Pippas nose at the Hastings party.
He worked on the Andie case and really gives Pip the heebie-jeebies.
