Lou (Leighton Meester) and Henry (Luke Cook) investigate a trio of cyrpto bros after one of the dies of poisoning leaving the rest of the department to focus on Big Hank’s (Clancy Brown) charity fundraiser and the money that disappear during a sudden blackout. There isn’t much to either case, although there is some fun to be had watching Joe (Scott Lee) struggling to figure out who stole the money only to donate it to charity anonymously (which of course was Lou, attempting to teach her father a lesson) and given one of the suspects in the poisoning reminds Henry of his ex it does offer a bit more of a glimpse into his past.

Episode 5 primarily deals with Yoon E-na (Kim Da-mi) and Kim Han-saem (Son Suk-ku) working the poisoning of a factory worker whose son died in an industrial accident a year prior. Although the pair solve the case, E-na isn’t troubled by motives she doesn’t understand. In terms of the larger puzzle mystery, the episode will also start a trend of one or the other visiting Miyoung (Aria Song) while attempting to connect the various puzzle victims together. Their work on unmasking the unlikely killer in the poisoner case finally finishes building trust between the pair leading to them to look at the larger case in earnest together while working out of Han-seam’s apartment. And while their connection still isn’t clear, although a big clue will be discovered next episode, E-na deposits a theory as to why the seemingly unrelated victims may have all been targeted.

While the kids build the world’s most chaotic bookshelf, something Lawrence (Richard O’Brien) views and approves of, Doofenshmirtz (Dan Povenmire) sets loose an army of plants created in his own image the not even he can control. Both parts are equally wacky, and do intersect to help pare down the outrageous bookshelf before it is seen by Phineas (Vincent Martella) and Ferb‘s (David Errigo Jr.) other parent, although neither is a standout (even if the titles of some of Lawrence’s books are humorous).
