Synopsis for "The Ballad of Olive Silverlock, Part One"

Olive stands outside the Dent family house watching it burn as Amity whispers poison into her ear. A fireman rushes to save her but, having knocked it out of her hands, he picks up the list of names yet when he goes to read from it, the pages scorch his hands. In the confusion Olive and the book disappear. She plots to kill Harvey Dent when he returns to the ashes.

At the Academy the Pizza Detective club listen to Maps' plan to save Olive but Kyle walks out saying he'd rather move to Metropolis. Maps and the remaining members return to the cave where they discovered Amity's book. As soon as they land in the pile of bones a figure with a sharks head wearing the Academy uniform jumps out at them and seals a secret passage. Two more dressed as a Fox and a Raven seal the top. Trapping the team as water begins to rise.

Harvey returns to his family home to find Olive enraged with Amity's spirit amidst an inferno. Amity soon notices the burns and her angers turns to affection. The two escape the fire with Harvey deciding her fate post-escape using his marked coin.

In the cave the waters rose to a degree that the pizza club could touch the ceiling and were at threat of being trapped, Colton manages to squirt Hydrofluoric acid eroding the supporting stones and allowing them to escape the tomb. They return to Isla MacPherson to tell her of what happened, she reveals the Terrible Trio were a legend warding people from discovering the Academy's secret. Maps, bored, sneaks off to help her best friend.
