Rob (Todd Alexander) decides to show up at Lenni's (Blaze Berdahl) house and be part of the team, helping her with the contest. They quickly unfold the clues and head to the location on the map unaware that Manny Gites (Mike Jefferson) got there first and knocked out the real agent of the contest to keep giving false leads to any other competitor. Although suspicious of the "agent's" behavior, they take the panel back to her apartment but soon they notice something is fishy about it. Missing patterns and conceptual gaps in the artwork made them believe the panel was a fake and when they got back to the Aquarium to check, all they found was the contest agent tied and gagged in a corner. Lenni rallies the team to solve the fourth - and real - panel, but first they agree to find more about Manny in order to stop him, so they ask Ghostwriter help to find the writings of his blouse again. The initial response led the kids to believe Manny was on the street so they all left to their homes but then Ghostwriter gave more indications of where he could be: The store owned by Alex (David López) and Gaby (Mayteana Morales) parents own - which happens to be right below Lenni's apartment. She rushes downstairs and meets Manny face-to-face.
S1.E17 ∙ Into the Comics: Part 4

Jamal (Sheldon Turnipseed), Alex (David López) and Tina (Tram-Anh Tran) decide to confront Manny at his house but his aunt doesn't believe the kids until they prove to her. In this meantime, Lenni, Gaby (Mayteana Morales) and Rob (Todd Alexander) head to the final location of the contest, minutes earlier than Manny, who is being chased by the other half of the team and his aunt.

S1.E18 ∙ To the Light: Part 1
Jamal (Sheldon Turnipseed) and Rob (Todd Alexander) are walking on the street when they find the cart, box and books of the eccentric poet friend of Rob's, "Double T" (David Patrick Kelly), scattered on the ground with him gone. Rob rallies the team asking for help to find his friend and, together, reading T's poems, they start unfolding part of his past, trying to figure where he could've been. With help of Ghostwriter to decipher some metaphors used in the poems, the kids figure "Double T" was once a soldier in Vietnam and the owner of the Grocery Store of which "T" used to stay in front, reading his writings, tells Rob about a shelter nearby he sleeps over from time to time. Rob goes there and the guard, who was arguing with a girl about giving private informations, tells him he doesn't see "Double T." in a while. Outside the shelter, Rob speaks with the girl, Lisa (Kristy Graves), and learns that "Double T." a.k.a. Thomas Truborn is, in fact, Thomas Norburt, Lisa's father.
S1.E19 ∙ To the Light: Part 2
Rob (Todd Alexander) really wants to find "Double T." (David Patrick Kelly), even more now that he knows he has a daughter, but his shyness pushes him away from the help offered by the other kids. Rob asks his father (Dan Ziskie) for help with the military records of "Double T." but it didn't help much because Thomas cut off relations with the veterans administration for quite some time already, so he and Lisa (Kristy Graves) try a different approach, with a letter to Mr. Hush (John Griesemer), the timid and easily frightened resident of the shelter. Ghostwriter reads "Double T." writing a letter to his daughter and the kids ask if there is anything else written around him. The team pulls a bed sheet from Jamal's (Sheldon Turnipseed) bed with a handmade map of the New York City and, with the information they now have, they figure Thomas might be near the South Ferry Subway Station.
S1.E20 ∙ To the Light: Part 3
While the team goes to New York's South Ferry, Rob (Todd Alexander) and Lisa (Kristy Graves) work on another letter to Mr. Hush (John Griesemer) to better describe him the whole situation, since the first one was ignored, kneaded and thrown away. The new letter works and Mr. Hush at least speaks with them and tells about an unused tunnel in the subway in which hi and "Double T." (David Patrick Kelly) used to sleep and, despite all possible dangers, Rob and Lisa go there to try to find him but, as soon as they reach the small chamber mentioned, the entrance collapses, trapping them in there. The team did not find "Double T." so they start reading his poems once again for more clues. Ghostwriter brings them a letter from someone who could be an old friend of Thomas while he was in the army, confirming their deductions so far. In this meantime, Rob tries to write with pebbles on the ground for help, knowing Ghostwriter would read and pass along the message, despite Lisa's objection who thinks that trying to unblock the entrance would be of more value. Tired and afraid, she starts to get desperate and cries.
S1.E21 ∙ To the Light: Part 4
Ghostwriter tells the rest of the team, who were trying to understand "Double T.'s" (David Patrick Kelly) poem, that Rob (Todd Alexander) needs help, but with so little information they think finding "Double T." would be a better way to help him. They ask if Ghostwriter can read anything else near him and an avalanche of words start flying around the apartment. Putting together all clues they have and with the help of a phone book they find the most probable place "Double T." could be: The Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Later, Jamal's (Sheldon Turnipseed) dad (Dean Irby) is not quite happy with the new friend of Grandma Cece (Marcella Lowery) and while Rob keeps trying to write with pebbles on the ground, Alex (David López) and Gaby (Mayteana Morales) try to convince their father (Shawn Elliott) to let them go to the Memorial hoping to find "Double T.". The kids get together at the Memorial and finally find "Double T." who does not understand why they're in such a rush to meet him. They explain the situation and mention that Rob - and Lisa (Kristy Graves) - are missing and ask him if he knows about a tunnel where they could've been looking for. Jamal gets word from Alex about the subway tunnel "Double T." and Mr. Hush (John Griesemer) used to sleep and asks his father for help, but the tip Ghostwriter gave to them only tells about the general area of where Rob could be, without specifics. Although it's not the best of the plans they go meet altogether to try finding him.
S1.E22 ∙ To the Light: Part 5
Jamal's (Sheldon Turnipseed) asks Ghostwriter to send a message to Rob (Todd Alexander) and Lisa (Kristy Graves) that help is coming but because Ghostwriter can only write with letter already in the place, so Jamal starts working in shorter message to be sent. The other kids bring "Double T." (David Patrick Kelly) to Jamal's house so he could help finding Rob and Lisa along with Jamal's father (Dean Irby). While they study a map of underground tunnels Ghostwriter brings another (partial) message the kids come up to be from an old baseball stadium. Jamal's dad assembles a small team with supplies to find the kids, but since the entrance collapsed they had to find another way. Rob's dad (Dan Ziskie) gets to know his son is missing and goes to Jamal's house and when he's almost about to call the police, Rob and Lisa return, safe and sound. Seeing his son cares so much with "Double T.' - and now his daughter - his father, who happens to work at Veterans Administration, decide to do everything he can to help them from now on.

Grandma Jenkins (Marcella Lowery) is in the hospital and, as expected, her grandson Jamal (Sheldon Turnipseed) and granddaughter Danitra (Samaria Graham) are making more fuzz than needed about it. In the next day Tina starts by answering letters from fans. Everything goes well until she picks up one the sounds kind of threatening. The actress says it's normal and asks Tina to let it go. She does until a kid passes by the street and drops a postcard through the window with more than just a random threatening message. Tina rushes to her friends, scared - The Ghostwriter Team is back in business.
S1.E24 ∙ Who's Who: Part 2
Tina (Tram-Anh Tran) tries to contact Lana (Patricia Barry) by phone without success so they all go search for her. They end up finding her locked up in the garage but even then she doesn't believe in Tina saying someone is being evil-wished to her, probably the same person who sent the messages before. Regardless, Tina rallies the team to Lana's place to investigate and they ask the Ghostwriter to help them find all Lana's enemies. Filtering the names brought from movies' characters and real life persons, they come up with a list of former husbands of her. Another threatening letter comes by mail, this time accompanied by a dead flower. Once again this doesn't shake Lana but the handwriting helps the kids to filter the suspect husbands to one name. In this meanwhile, Jamal (Sheldon Turnipseed) is more worried than he should with Grandma Cece Jenkins (Marcella Lowery), especially when she comes up with a draft of will.
S1.E25 ∙ Who's Who: Part 3
Jamal (Sheldon Turnipseed) is more light-hearted about Grandma Cece's (Marcella Lowery) health state and joins back the team and quickly finds out where the dead flower came from. While Jamal goes there with Gaby (Mayteana Morales), Lenni (Blaze Berdahl) and Rob (Todd Alexander), as suggested by Lana (Patricia Berry) go to the hotel where her award ceremony will take place in order to get the list of all the guests. The flower "shop" belonged to a weird hippie woman who scared the kids a bit, but at least she provided a copy of the receipt for the flower delivery. Lenni and Rob were told by the concierge that only Lana herself could have the guests list. On their way out to find a public phone to call Lana, Lenni met Stone Harrison (Sam Stoneburner), supporting actor of one of Lana's movies and, by charming him for an autograph, she manages to get his handwriting. In this meantime, Jamal and Gaby work on the paper they've got from the flower saleswoman. Ghostwriter reads something not naturally visible, in a decal in that piece of paper. After some deduction and with the help of a phone book they've come up to a store of wigs. The team tries to collect more handwriting, but Rob is new to this investigation business and, maybe because he comes from a military family environment, he pushes away potential suspects, like Lana's daughter Janine Peretti (Gretchen Krich) and his first husband Alan Charles (John McMartin). Gaby manages to conduct a lighter interrogatory with Alan and thanks to this they find out he still loves Lana after all, excluding him from the suspects list.
S1.E26 ∙ Who's Who: Part 4
Lana (Patricia Berry) receives a telegram with another threatening message but, once again, she didn't seem too much concerned about it. Tina (Tram-Anh Tran) explains to the team why Stone Harrison (Sam Stoneburner) is angry with Lana. Jamal (Sheldon Turnipseed) says he'll follow the clue on the store of wigs, Gaby (Mayteana Morales) raises Lana's daughter as a suspect and Rob (Todd Alexander) reinforces the suspicion with some substantial evidences. Lana arrives at the ceremony hall and goes straight to her dressing room, ignoring everyone, including her daughter, Janine Peretti (Gretchen Krich), who leaves the room visibly upset. Tina asks Ghostwriter to read something near Lana's dressing room and he brings them a draft of her speech that doesn't sound like Lana. Stone Harrison passes by them at same time, so the kids believe whoever is in Lana's dressing room is someone pretending to be her. While Tina goes with Alex (David López) and Lt. McQuade (Mike Hodge) to Lana's apartment, Rob and Gaby read all the threatening messages again, trying to get something they might've missed. Rob finds out who's behind all of this and rushes to Lana's dressing room, but he's hit by the villain in the head. Lt. McQuade gets back to the ceremony hall just in time to arrest the culprit during the false speech and Lana to make her own, including a few words of recognition to the person behind this all. The next day Lana and her daughter strengthen their relationship and Alex finally gets courage to tell Tina about his feelings - even though masked through a movie script.
S1.E27 ∙ Over a Barrel: Part 1
While working in the new community garden set up a cleaned-out landfill with Lenni, Rob, and Sally Lewis, Gaby suffers a headache and faints for no reason the doctor can see. She seems better after having Grandma Jenkins' soup, but then collapses and is hospitalized. Rob tells her dad many are getting sick with similar symptoms, but they haven't spent time together so it's probably not a virus. The next day, the garden bunnies are found dead. Except Jamal, who's stuck house-cleaning, the Ghostwriter Team does a survey to find out what's causing the illness, and Ghostwriter confirms the connection they see: everyone has either visited or eaten produce grown in the garden. They return to it and Ghostwriter reads some incomplete words then show them what they can from: foul-smelling barrels buried underground.
S1.E28 ∙ Over a Barrel: Part 2
Sally evacuates the garden when it's found the barrels contain a toxic cleaning chemical called technocloroethelyne, or "perc", someone illegally dumped rather than dispose of properly. Ghostwriter manages to reveal a bit more writing on another barrel first. After many failed phone calls, the team contact the Environmental Protection Department, but they won't be able to remove the barrels for several months since they need to make sure no other site is worse first. The alternative is to catch the dumper since that person must by law remove them, but they need to learn who it is. Gaby worries her life is in danger since the rabbits' ended, so Alex tries to find out the chemical's effects. This time, Tina is missing out on the investigation after her brother Tuan gets into an argument with their parents about skipping school to focus on his music, and Tina (and her sister) are confined to home too since her parents say she's been helping them too little. The Ghostwriter Team decide to approach local activist Fanny Mae Banner, who hosts a show exposing crooked actions - but they first must prove the perc case is an actual scandal. Lenni's dad and Sally seem to be falling in love. Gaby finds the warning sign put up to keep people out of the garden is ineffective since kids don't get it. The team learn the barrels came from Eco-Safe Chemical Co., but the company says the buyer must've dumped it. Thanks to Ghostwriter's letters, they're able to trace it to French Garment Cleaners. Momo works there, but when Rob and Lenni approach him he seems nervous and is reluctant to say if he knows who the hauler responsible for taking and dealing with their perc is.
S1.E29 ∙ Over a Barrel: Part 3
After getting an anonymous call from someone asking them to meet to hear who handled the barrels, Lenni and Rob go to find it's Momo. He plans to secretly check his boss' files to see. The team find the garden fence is broken and some people are desperate enough for its old free-food produce to enter despite their new warning signs. Momo can't get to the records, but Ghostwriter finds three companies before the words the team gives him narrows it down to Miller's Hauling Company. Lenni finds her dad is starting to date Sally, and resists. Tina and Alex go to Miller's Hauling Company posing as school reporters. It turns out John Miller is about to get the Citizen of the Year award, but they hear him angrily talking on the phone with someone about shredding something, and when they briefly "interview" him he seems nervous to be asked about disposing of chemicals too dangerous for a landfill. Ghostwriter finds part of a memo in the garbage and they conclude he's going to shred evidence of him dumping the perc, and possibly steal French Garment Cleaner's invoices to link him to it.
S1.E30 ∙ Over a Barrel: Part 4
With French Garment Cleaners' boss' invoice's stolen, Miller doesn't have to worry about them being read as evidence before he can shred them. Momo says his boss won't talk to kids even for an investigation, so presses them to bring an adult, but they still need proof to convince anyone to back them. Alex and Tina return to the hauling company to record the documents being shredded. Ghostwriter confirms they're the invoices, but in trying to get the camera close enough to view the documents, they're discovered. They escape and even share a kiss, but the papers are shredded without a clear shot of words. The two take them since they ended up in the garbage truck they were hiding in, along with the tape they managed to get of him remarking he did shred something secretly important. They approach Fanny Mae Banner, who says she'll do their story - but she needs a witness or something strong enough to condemn Miller definitely. They decide to have Momo's boss talk to her. They're also determined to make sure Miller wastes no time cleaning out the perc.

Principal Kelly (Ellen Foley) tells Lenni (Blaze Berdahl) and the rest of the talent show committee there's a possibility of suspend it because of these attacks. The Ghostwriter team embraces the cause as another case to solve. The team starts by listing the suspects they have: The "Thunderheads", as they're mad at Victor (Víctor Sierra) because he left the gang and Walter, because he's mad with the talent show committee. Ghostwriter brings them some senseless messages that, when put down together in the right order, just make of Victor one of the suspects too, regardless Rob's opinion about him. In this meantime, Rob goes to Victor's house and knows a little more about his tough life, in a not-so-safe community, taking care of younger brothers and sisters and his older brother, paralytic because of a shot fired during gang wars. While writing to Ghostwriter, Lenni comes up with an idea of a petition involving students and teachers in favor of the talent show, so it doesn't get canceled.

The team goes over their evidence and they add a new suspect: Tony Boyd, the second best runner on the track team. He's jealous of Victor's recent success, Rob informs them. The team needs the gold necklace as evidence but Rob begs for one more day to prove Victor is innocent. Later on he confronts Victor in school and finds out that Victor's private notebook is missing too. Rob wants to help him find it but Victor is furious and suspects that Rob is also against him. He can't take the pressure at Hurston with everyone assuming that he's guilty. Rob assures Victor that he's a trustworthy friend but Victor just storms out. When Victor doesn't show up for several days, Rob gets concerned. He asks Ghostwriter to find a place with Thunderhead logos, writing, and Victor's signature.

Miguel asks Victor to prove his loyalty to the Thunderheads while Rob begs him to come back to school. Victor reluctantly turns down Miguel's offer. He reminds Miguel that he saved him once in a gang fight so Miguel owes him a favor. He tells the Thunderheads to let Rob go but Victor's no longer accepted into their gang ever again. As they leave the hangout, Victor fumes at Rob for his stupidity but he's glad to see his friend was concerned about him. Back at Victor's house, Rob realizes that the notebook is still missing so perhaps it's still with the real culprit. He asks for a copy of the rap Victor wrote and asks Ghostwriter to track it down. The notebook is in Tony Boyd's bag. Tony is forced to open it up for a teacher and they find the notebook along with a can of spray paint. He admits to framing Victor for taking away his position the track team. Tony is directed to go call his parents and it is likely he will be suspended. Victor thanks Rob for helping him out. Later on, Rob wants to write an article about being caught by the Thunderheads but he's too scared to let it out. Ghostwriter suggests using specific words and scenes to imagine what happened. Rob begins with "Hands" and writes out a personal message about being attacked. He feels much better when he's done. The Star Jam turns out to be a huge success. Lenni sings her introduction speech about coming together to end violence, Tina and Gaby have a song and dance, and Victor performs his rap for his brother. Grandma Jenkins gets on the stage to congratulate the kids on a great job and everyone joins her in singing Lenni's song again.
