CW Nancy Drew Explained by Someone who has Not Watched CW Nancy Drew: (this got super long I’m sorry)
~Disclaimer: I did watch 1 episode (2 episodes?) a long time ago so I do know the following:
1. Ned went to prison. He now goes by Nick; I’m pretty sure this is unrelated to the prison thing.
2. Ghosts are real. One is called Dead Lucy. More than anything, this makes me question how many Lucy’s are in town that we need to clarify which one we’re talking about. Is there an alive Lucy? Blonde hair short Lucy? Schrodinger’s both alive and dead Lucy? Come to think of it, ghostly Lucy does kinda seems like a Schrodinger’s situation
~~~Everything else I’m gonna say is mainly based on posts from Megan and Kaitie, so HERE WE GO:
1. There’s a guy named Owen and a guy named Ryan. One of them is a garbage man. I’ve gone back and forth on this but I’m not really sure which one is which. If pressed, I’m pretty sure Ryan is a reformed garbage man, and Owen is king of the trash, top tier garbage man.
2. One of the garbage peoples are dead. I presume this is gonna be the mystery of the second season. Idk which one it is, but I’m pretty sure it happened in the bath.
3. Not being able to distinguish between the garbage people is a shame because I’m pretty sure one is Nancy’s dad and the other is her boyfriend.
4. If I had to guess, I would say Reformed garbage man is Nancy father. This is causing AngstTM for Nancy rn.
5. Owen’s last name is not Spayder. Disappointing.
6. Bess is a gay icon and is dating a police officer. She and Ace are homies.
7. George puts up with a lot. NickNotNed and her seem to be becoming partners in both restauranteeing and life. I have no idea if they’re actually dating yet.
8. Side note: Wtf does Ned Nick want to own part of a seafood joint. I’m pretty sure the answer is something heartfelt and great, but without context it leaves me confused.
9. Actually Hold Up. Aren't these kids like 18-19? How do they own a restaurant? ALSO does anyone even eat there? It’s always empty in these screen shots. I know ghosts sometimes visit but they are NOT paying customers. They must be losing tons of money if they don’t already own the building. NedNotNick this seems like a terrible investment plan. Actually on further thought, terrible investment plan in the name of friendship seems like a very Ned thing to do, so who am I to judge.
10. What was I talking about again?
11. OH! Going through characters. Right. Okay. Ace is a cook? Or a detective? Or an undercover detective cook? He and Nancy share lots of heartfelt glances. Also he says endearing things like “Bone Time.” I’m pretty sure this refers to a very specific bone they stole but really what do I know. Also we don’t know his actual name because it’s Joe. Doesn’t do libraries because he hung out there too frequently as a child. Apparently he now has enemies there. Maybe he never paid a large overdue fine and now the head librarian/(his mother?) hates him. I’m pretty sure this is only a minor throw away remark, but I’ve seen it come up too much not to intensely analyze it. He and Nancy are Kaitie and Megan’s the fandom’s OTP. I’m pretty sure he kidnapped Carson once. Or broke him out of jail. Or kidnapped him after also breaking him out of jail. Carson didn’t seem to pleased about it.
12. Okay, sorry but I’m back here again: Who is running the restaurant when the ClawCrew is out mystery-ing? Does it close? Who else works there? Is there a second cook available when Ace is out committing felonies and library-fee evasions? This is why your restaurant is always empty George.
13. Carson might have killed Dead Lucy. Or I guess she was still technically alive Lucy back then. Okay, Carson might have killed Alive Lucy. I’m pretty sure he actually didn’t, but he was involved in some sus activity surrounding the whole ordeal. For some god forsaken reason he only got rid of the evidence recently. He does not seem to be the most intelligent.
14. Ace looks really good in gif and mood-board format
15. The meniscus of water curves (downward? upward?). Okay I checked, it’s downward. This leads to Ace enjoy a refreshing beverage in the River Heights evidence room. It is super romantic.
16. I’m pretty sure some other stuff happened.
17. A mystery was solved. Probably.
