TV Episodes I've Seen in 2021

Jamal and Lenni find out their new friend can't see or hear, but can communicate through words, so they type to him on the computer. He doesn't know who he is or where he came from, but knows he used to be a man. They name him Ghostwriter, and try to crack the coded message Jamal found at the park, along with a button that says THABTO. Lenni has recommended Alex, who's an expert on mysteries and codes, so he goes to him. Gaby believes the stolen backpacks are being left in the junkyard, with only the lunch money missing from them. Alex and Jamal go with her.

Alex becomes a member of the Ghostwriter team. Jamal suspects THABTO is connected to the gang of people stealing backpacks, who wear green two-headed masks. The team asks Ghostwriter to find more THABTO buttons, and the search leads them to the Party Animal store where an order was placed for four buttons. Ghostwriter leads them to a locker at school that's connected to one of the THABTO members, but they don't know who. Gaby reveals she also got a coded message in her backpack, and the team now tries to crack two codes and decide to call on Ghostwriter for help.

Alex gives the wrong name during the THABTO ceremony and is found out; he and his friends are chased through the navy yard by the three remaining members. They manage to escape and regroup to figure out the THABTOs' plan. Going over the tape recording of the THABTOs' ceremony, they decipher the group's chant to figure out their plan for the Double Defenders tournament.

Jamal is playing a computer game inside Mr. Brinker's video store, when a man comes in and gives Mr. Brinker a piece of paper that enrages him. Tina comes in to buy a blank videotape, but insists the one Brinker hands her isn't new, he yells at her and runs her out, then yells at Jamal, complaining about kids running off his customers and only buying cheap things. Jamal goes home and writes a complaint letter against Mr. Brinker. He goes back to the store at 7 P.M. and drops it in the slot in the door, then firecrackers go off behind him, and he rips his sleeve in the door slot. After Jamal leaves a fire breaks out in the back room. The next morning Ghostwriter sends Alex, Gaby and Lenni a message to get to Brinker's store, where the police are investigating the cause of the fire. Lenni picks up Jamal's letter without realizing what it is. Meanwhile, Jamal tries to help Craig, the new kid, get in a game of basketball against Momo to see who's the better player.

Mr. Brinker accuses Jamal of starting the fire in his store. Jamal denies being there the night before, even though the police have a surveillance camera that show somebody at the drop slot at the time before the fire. Ghostwriter starts asking Jamal about the F.B.I. and copyright infringement, so he and Alex head to the library to find out what Mr. Brinker was so upset about the other day. Gaby and Tina work on a video to try and figure out who set the fire, tracking down the cab driver who took the man to Mr. Brinker's and find out he left for Washington D.C. the same night. Lenni reads Jamal's letter and finds out he was at the video store and wants to know why he lied to her. The police further question Jamal about his alibi for the time of the fire, and he finds himself lying to his parents and grandma as well because he thinks the truth will land him in jail.

Lenni is furious with Jamal for lying to her about being at the store the night of the fire. Jamal confides in Craig that he's being accused of starting the fire even though he didn't do it. Ghostwriter makes contact with Tina, and the team comes together to explain Ghostwriter to her, and she becomes a member of the team. Ghostwriter warns the kids that 'videos are key' to the fire mystery after finding out the 'blank' tape Brinker sold Tina had a movie on it. Alex suspects the man who came to Brinker's store is an FBI agent. Craig comes to Jamal's defense when Lt. McQuade tries to use Jamal's cap he left at the store as evidence against him. Jamal confesses to the team about being at Brinker's store, and tells them about a delivery truck that was around back the night of the fire.

Gaby and Tina track down the delivery driver Jamal saw at Brinker's store the night of the fire, and find out he supplies blank videotapes. Craig has Jamal and Alex help him sneak in to Brinker's store to check the back room where the fire broke out, to find the evidence they need once and for all to solve who set the fire.

There is an ongoing election for President at kids' school and Alex (David Lopez) is one of the candidates and with the help of his friends, Jamal (Sheldon Turnipseed) and Lenni (Blaze Berdahl), he's trying to write the perfect speech in order to beat his adversaries. But someone is decided to sink Alex's candidature by spreading intimate secrets about his personal life, so the team starts doing what they do best: Investigate.

Alex (David López) accuses Rob (Todd Alexander) of being the one responsible for the defamatory flyers because of the text fragment he and Jamal (Sheldon Turnipseed) found, but Rob evades and leaves both kids alone. Tina (Tram-Anh Tran) suggests they make a video footage trying to show that Alex is nothing like how he was pictured in the flyers, and then they start working in a storyboard. Ghostwriter shows to Alex and Gaby (Mayteana Morales) fragments of an unsent letter from one of the other competitors, showing friendship towards Alex and thus, making her not suspects anymore.

Wanda and Vision struggle to conceal their powers during dinner with Vision's boss and his wife.

Jamal (Sheldon Turnipseed) rallies the team to let them know Rob (Todd Alexander) has seen Ghostwriter's writings and when asked why, he pushes the kids to know Rob better. Tina (Tram-Anh Tran) and Alex (David López) work on the video footage for his campaign while Gaby (Mayteana Morales) joins Jamal's karate class. Ghostwrites contacts Rob again, suggesting him to speak with Jamal, which ends up resolving the situation caused by the text fragment found once it becomes clear that it was just part of a story Rob was writing. When Ghostwriter shows another defamatory message, Alex runs throughout the school trying to find the flyers it could've come from and discovers that one of the competitors, backed up by Calvin Ferguson (Joey Shea), is rehearsing his speeches in school property, which is disallowed by election rules.

In an effort to fit in, Wanda and Vision perform a magic act in their community talent show.

Alex (David López) overheard a secret meeting of one of the competitors and rallies the team to try to put an end in the situation. Ghostwriter finds out more about the last defamatory message and this gives Alex an idea of where it could've come from, confirming that is indeed one of his pen pals the source of his intimate secrets. The team then comes up with a plan to discover who's the contact in Alex's school and Calvin's (Joey Shea) name arises as a cousin of Alex's friend but, when confronted, he just laughs being very sure nothing will happen to him, even if snitched out. The kids then decides to give him a taste of his own medicine and asks Rob (Todd Alexander) to help with the printing of a few flyers with shameful messages about Calvin, then Jamal (Sheldon Turnipseed) finishes with some funny drawings. Together with Jamal and Lenni (Blaze Berdahl) at Calvin's "HQ" Alex intimidates the creep, threatening to put the flyers all over the school. Cornered, Calvin gives up and agrees to confess to the Principal. After the elections, the sweet taste of superiority: As Calvin comes to require the kids give him all the flyers as fulfillment of their part of the deal, they hand over a box with a just a couple of them since the entire volume was falsely filled, as decoy to fool him.

Lenni persuades the team to enter a scavenger hunt-style contest in order to win the chance to be drawn into an issue of Hoodman. Their efforts are hindered by an embittered comic book artist named Manny Gites, who will stop at nothing to win the contest disguised as his own character, Stoop Dude. Meanwhile, Rob continues to be distant from the team, but makes friends with an eccentric homeless poet.

Lenni (Blaze Berdahl) tells the other kids about the threatening message she got and they decide to investigate who's behind it. Rob's (Todd Alexander) father does not approve his interests in writing poems but his friendship with the homeless eccentric poet "Double T" (David Patrick Kelly) gets stronger to the point he decide to experience his life on the streets for a day. Despite the troubling message, the competition goes on, and the kids have a new picture with new clues to decipher. And when they do, they meet Stoop Dude character face to face and end up getting false directions of the one of the agents' locations, impairing not only their progress, but also all other competitors' as well.

Rob (Todd Alexander) decides to show up at Lenni's (Blaze Berdahl) house and be part of the team, helping her with the contest. They quickly unfold the clues and head to the location on the map unaware that Manny Gites (Mike Jefferson) got there first and knocked out the real agent of the contest to keep giving false leads to any other competitor. Although suspicious of the "agent's" behavior, they take the panel back to her apartment but soon they notice something is fishy about it. Missing patterns and conceptual gaps in the artwork made them believe the panel was a fake and when they got back to the Aquarium to check, all they found was the contest agent tied and gagged in a corner. Lenni rallies the team to solve the fourth - and real - panel, but first they agree to find more about Manny in order to stop him, so they ask Ghostwriter help to find the writings of his blouse again. The initial response led the kids to believe Manny was on the street so they all left to their homes but then Ghostwriter gave more indications of where he could be: The store owned by Alex (David López) and Gaby (Mayteana Morales) parents own - which happens to be right below Lenni's apartment. She rushes downstairs and meets Manny face-to-face.

Shocked after being recognized, Manny Gites (Mike Jefferson) runs away from Lenni (Blaze Berdahl), leaving all his stuff on the ground, including a package with a carnival mask made of something that resembled a formal letter. The next day the whole team assembles at Lenni's apartment and together they fill the gaps in the cropped letter and discover that Manny might be cheating in the contest because his own comic character, "Stoopdude", was rejected by the company organizing the contest. Jamal (Sheldon Turnipseed), Alex (David López) and Tina (Tram-Anh Tran) decide to confront Manny at his house but his aunt doesn't believe the kids until they prove to her. In this meantime, Lenni, Gaby (Mayteana Morales) and Rob (Todd Alexander) head to the final location of the contest, minutes earlier than Manny, who is being chased by the other half of the team and his aunt. Lenni rushes to the finish line, Manny is caught by Jamal and up confessing his frustrations to the President of the comics company and then The Hoodman himself hands the winners' trophy to the team and, of course, they all get to appear as super-heroes of the next edition.

Wanda's pregnancy fritzes her powers as she and Vision prepare for an accelerated delivery.

Jamal (Sheldon Turnipseed) and Rob (Todd Alexander) are walking on the street when they find the cart, box and books of the eccentric poet friend of Rob's, "Double T" (David Patrick Kelly), scattered on the ground with him gone. Rob rallies the team asking for help to find his friend and, together, reading T's poems, they start unfolding part of his past, trying to figure where he could've been. With help of Ghostwriter to decipher some metaphors used in the poems, the kids figure "Double T" was once a soldier in Vietnam and the owner of the Grocery Store of which "T" used to stay in front, reading his writings, tells Rob about a shelter nearby he sleeps over from time to time. Rob goes there and the guard, who was arguing with a girl about giving private informations, tells him he doesn't see "Double T." in a while. Outside the shelter, Rob speaks with the girl, Lisa (Kristy Graves), and learns that "Double T." a.k.a. Thomas Truborn is, in fact, Thomas Norburt, Lisa's father.

Rob (Todd Alexander) really wants to find "Double T." (David Patrick Kelly), even more now that he knows he has a daughter, but his shyness pushes him away from the help offered by the other kids. Rob asks his father (Dan Ziskie) for help with the military records of "Double T." but it didn't help much because Thomas cut off relations with the veterans administration for quite some time already, so he and Lisa (Kristy Graves) try a different approach, with a letter to Mr. Hush (John Griesemer), the timid and easily frightened resident of the shelter. Ghostwriter reads "Double T." writing a letter to his daughter and the kids ask if there is anything else written around him. The team pulls a bed sheet from Jamal's (Sheldon Turnipseed) bed with a handmade map of the New York City and, with the information they now have, they figure Thomas might be near the South Ferry Subway Station.

While the team goes to New York's South Ferry, Rob (Todd Alexander) and Lisa (Kristy Graves) work on another letter to Mr. Hush (John Griesemer) to better describe him the whole situation, since the first one was ignored, kneaded and thrown away. The new letter works and Mr. Hush at least speaks with them and tells about an unused tunnel in the subway in which hi and "Double T." (David Patrick Kelly) used to sleep and, despite all possible dangers, Rob and Lisa go there to try to find him but, as soon as they reach the small chamber mentioned, the entrance collapses, trapping them in there. The team did not find "Double T." so they start reading his poems once again for more clues. Ghostwriter brings them a letter from someone who could be an old friend of Thomas while he was in the army, confirming their deductions so far. In this meantime, Rob tries to write with pebbles on the ground for help, knowing Ghostwriter would read and pass along the message, despite Lisa's objection who thinks that trying to unblock the entrance would be of more value. Tired and afraid, she starts to get desperate and cries.

Ghostwriter tells the rest of the team, who were trying to understand "Double T.'s" (David Patrick Kelly) poem, that Rob (Todd Alexander) needs help, but with so little information they think finding "Double T." would be a better way to help him. They ask if Ghostwriter can read anything else near him and an avalanche of words start flying around the apartment. Putting together all clues they have and with the help of a phone book they find the most probable place "Double T." could be: The Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Later, Jamal's (Sheldon Turnipseed) dad (Dean Irby) is not quite happy with the new friend of Grandma Cece (Marcella Lowery) and while Rob keeps trying to write with pebbles on the ground, Alex (David López) and Gaby (Mayteana Morales) try to convince their father (Shawn Elliott) to let them go to the Memorial hoping to find "Double T.". The kids get together at the Memorial and finally find "Double T." who does not understand why they're in such a rush to meet him. They explain the situation and mention that Rob - and Lisa (Kristy Graves) - are missing and ask him if he knows about a tunnel where they could've been looking for. Jamal gets word from Alex about the subway tunnel "Double T." and Mr. Hush (John Griesemer) used to sleep and asks his father for help, but the tip Ghostwriter gave to them only tells about the general area of where Rob could be, without specifics. Although it's not the best of the plans they go meet altogether to try finding him.

Jamal's (Sheldon Turnipseed) asks Ghostwriter to send a message to Rob (Todd Alexander) and Lisa (Kristy Graves) that help is coming but because Ghostwriter can only write with letter already in the place, so Jamal starts working in shorter message to be sent. The other kids bring "Double T." (David Patrick Kelly) to Jamal's house so he could help finding Rob and Lisa along with Jamal's father (Dean Irby). While they study a map of underground tunnels Ghostwriter brings another (partial) message the kids come up to be from an old baseball stadium. Jamal's dad assembles a small team with supplies to find the kids, but since the entrance collapsed they had to find another way. Rob's dad (Dan Ziskie) gets to know his son is missing and goes to Jamal's house and when he's almost about to call the police, Rob and Lisa return, safe and sound. Seeing his son cares so much with "Double T.' - and now his daughter - his father, who happens to work at Veterans Administration, decide to do everything he can to help them from now on.
