BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS

The cookie jar is going to be providing desserts for a masquerade party at the grand re-opening of the Lake Eden Inn. The new manager, Derryl, comes in to talk through ideas. He's very frazzled cuz there's just so much to do!

She shows up at the inn and gives a cookie to the check-in attendee, Bobby. She meets with Brandi (who seems generally unhappy to be there) to talk through set up and tour the kitchen and stuff. She meets the owner, Mr. How & his wife, and goes on her way.

It's party time. Hannah goes down to finish some cookies and Brandi is there. She talks about how she's been passed over for a promotion and wants to come up with some ideas that will help her get one.

Next thing you know, Hannah and her sister are walking down a hallway and hear a thud. They go into the room, and sure enough, dead body. It's Brandi. UH OH!

She goes to get Chad and they get to work on investigating!

After a full night of poking around, they got nothing aside from some messed up time cards.

Hannah figures out that Brandi and Mr. How were having an affair! So she goes to question him and he's like yeah we were which is why I never gave her a promotion cuz I didn't want my wife to find out. But I'd never kill her.

So it's probably his wife right? No. She corners Hannah in an alley to tell her just that.

Turns out, it's Derryl. He did it.

To celebrate, Hannah and Chad kiss big ones. The end hopefully forever.
