Vera gasps. "There's nothing in here!"
Everyone sighs.
"Um..." Victor says. "I guess you're free to go then.."
Elayna runs out.
Annika, Jamal, Danya and Tyler go into the hallway and see Elayna coming in.
"It's done!" Elayna smiles.
"Well, obviously.." Annika says. "We know that now!"
"You did good!" Jamal says.
"Um.. Okay???" Elayna says, confused.

Later, Annika, Jamal and Tyler go into the tunnels to see the next task.
They walk through the tunnels until they reach a new room.
It's a stone room with 6 stone hands sticking up from the floor.
"There's a message." Jamal points out.
On the wall, it says;
'Two doors so stand only one goes behind,
the other opens with the items you find,
find six reflectors to go through the task,
and make it to the chamber of the Mask.'
"Guys.." Annika says. "This is the last task before we find the Mask!"
"Finally!" Tyler sighs.
"What does it mean by 6 reflectors?" Annika asks.
"We probably have to find 6 reflectors and put them on the 6 hands!" Jamal suggests.
"But why are there two doors?" Tyler asks.
"The riddle says only one goes behind.." Annika says.
"Look!" Jamal says. "One of the doors opens up with an amulet! The other door must open with the reflectors!"
"But which amulet?" Jamal asks.
"None of us have that amulet." Tyler says.
"Which means.." Annika sighs. "The amulet that opens this door.. is Victor's.."

In Elayna's room, Danya and Elayna hang out.
The door opens and another Elayna walks in.
"Woah!" Danya backs away. "CLONESSSSS?!?"
"Piper!" Elayna shouts. "What are you doing here?! Why aren't you at your school?!"
"I wanted to come and visit!" Piper chimes.
"No one knows about you!" Elayna argues.
"Woahwoahwoahwoahwoah....." Danya stops them. "Hold up! So, you have a twin?"
"Yes." Elayna and Piper say.
"THAT explains why the ox bell wasn't found.. That was PIPER who Mr. Sweet found!" Danya realizes. "This is hilarious."
"I like her!" Piper says.
"I don't anymore.." Elayna rolls her eyes.
~
In the library, Trudy looks over the security footage to see who stole the ox bell.
She gasps when she sees it's Vera.
"You found out.." Vera says from behind.
Trudy whips around. "You did it?? I knew it! YOURE the killer, aren't you? Not your fake twin sister! You killed Mrs. Andrews!"
"Wow, Trudy.." Vera smirks. "You found out a lot of things today.."
"Who are you gonna kill next?" Trudy asks.
"Isn't it obvious?" Vera smiles as she knocks Trudy out and kidnaps her.
