Ruby Skye P.I. - Season 1

Fifteen year old Ruby Skye sees mystery wherever she looks. And when she looks out her bedroom window, she sees Mrs. Gooje, the neighbourhood wacko, acting more bizarre than usual. Mrs Gooje is known for her collection of toy animals, which she treats like real pets. But now she's starving her beloved stuffy collection... and herself. Ruby has to know: what is up with Mrs. Gooje? But first she has to organize a birthday celebration for her best friend, Griffin. Ruby baked him birthday brownies, but her little sister, Hailey, got there first.

Ruby knows two things about the email scammer who stole Mrs. Gooje's money: 1. He -- or she -- sent the scam emails from Ruby's very own school; and 2. The creep just came into money. The mysteries keep on mounting: When did Griffin get a new iPhone?! Why does Diana hate Ruby so much? And what could possibly be making I.T. teacher Ms. Springer smile that ghastly grin?! And why are the janitor's hands so clean? What lengths will Ruby go to get answers? She'll wake up during class, sharpen a pencil, search a recycling bin, spy on a teacher... and more.

Is Griffin the one who scammed poor Mrs. Gooje out of all her money? The signs all point at him: - he goes to the Dragon Academy and that's where the scam emails were sent from; - he has new equipment he can't pay for; - his eyes get all shifty when Ruby asks him about it; - the Nigerian scam is just about all there is in his computer history. But it can't be Griffin... It has to be someone else... but who? Ms. Springer's new boyfriend? Ruby's fingers are crossed.

Noooo!!!! After Hailey helps her break into Griffin's computer, Ruby finds proof positive that the Nigerian Prince's email to Mrs. Gooje came from Griffin's account. Ruby doesn't want to believe it, but she has irrefutable evidence... that she's determined to hide from everyone. She just has to get Griffin to stop stealing and give back the money and everything will be all right. Right?

Ruby found out that her best friend Griffin was running the Nigerian email scam out of the school computers. She also found out that he's using her name as his password, which is a sure sign of a crush. What kind of a detective doesn't notice that her best friend has a crush on her? What kind of a detective doesn't notice that her best friend is a scam artist?! And as if Ruby's day wasn't bad enough already, Diana turned up and trouble followed. Just when it looked like things couldn't get any worse, the got worse. And they are about to get worse still.... and then worser and worser.... until the worst thing in the world happens....

Ruby has hit bottom. Only yesterday she was worried because she found out Griffin was crushing on her. Now he hates her... and who could blame him? Ruby almost got him arrested. What's worse is that Ruby is pretty sure he is not the scammer who stole all Mrs. Gooje's money. It had to be someone else... but who? Mrs. Gooje is no comfort. Even though Ruby vows to get her money back, even Mrs. Gooje isn't crazy enough to believe her.

Ruby knows that Flint is only marrying Ms. Springer for her money. She's determined to stop him. But how can she do it alone? Ruby steals Hailey's cell phone and uses it text Griffin. What else can she do? Griffin wouldn't come if he knows it's from Ruby. Then she uses Griffin's email account to send Hailey a message. It's easy. She knows his password. But before they show up, Ruby has some unexpected visitors and is treated to a song and dance routine.

Things aren't looking too good for Ruby's plan to stop Ms. Springer's wedding and get back Mrs. Gooje's money. Not with Ruby and Griffin shut in the janitor's closet... and the janitor standing guard outside. Her plan to reignite her friendship with Griffin isn't working too well either. If Griffin wasn't furious with Ruby before she got him thrown in a closet, he's livid with her now. But Ruby isn't giving up. She just has to find a way to distract Vinnie so they can get out there.

Out of the frying pan into the fire. Or in Ruby's case, out of the janitor's closet into a chase! Ruby is on the run with Vinnie hot on her heels. Meanwhile Ms. Springer is starting her march down the aisle (and in Ms. Springer's case "march" is exactly the right term). What could possibly stop Ruby from stopping the wedding? Getting caught by Vinnie? A run-in with Diana? One of Mrs. Gooje's more vicious pets? And speaking of Mrs. Gooje, can Ruby get her money back before she loses her

The police say Mrs. Gooje will get their money back. They arrested Vinnie and Flint. And Gary got his hat back. Hailey's rally was a big success so she's happy. Ms. Springer? Well, she did get left at the alter. Nobody could be too happy about that, but at least she didn't marry a creep who was only in it for the money. And Griffin? Griffin thinks his dad is a thief. So Ruby has one big case left to solve.
