Last week on the soap opera, we learned that Marni and Mason’s new friends, Dale and Ella, are actually undercover police officers who have come to investigate Beren’s kidnapping by her evil twin.

But, so far, Marni and Mason still just think Dale and Ella are really cool. Watch as they tell Beren about their new friends. Does her reaction seem strange to you?

Mason: So what have you guys been up to? What’s been going on?

Marni: Ah, you know, I had the best day yesterday. I went for a lovely walk in the park and then Dale made me dinner!

Mason: Oh cool.

Marni: Yeah. He is so great.

Mason: I totally agree. You know, he and I hung out recently.

Marni: Really?

Mason: Yeah, and Ella, too.

Beren: Who’s Dale?

Marni: Oh you…You know…Really? You haven’t met…

Beren: No, no, no.

Mason: Alright. These are the coolest new kids. We met them out at a bar like a few weeks ago…

Beren: Uh huh.

Mason: ...and, uh…Man, it’s just like they just knew everything about us. We totally clicked.

Marni: We totally connected. And you know what? It’s funny you haven’t met them because they’re actually really…They were talking about you. They’re so anxious. They must be really excited to meet you.

Beren: What do you mean they were talking about me?

Mason: I think they’d like heard of your band or something like that. I mean, they were, like, enthused. Like super like, “Oh my gosh, you know Beren?” Like, “When can we meet her?”

Marni: Yeah.

Mason: “Can we have her phone number? What’s her address?” I mean, it was just like they couldn’t get enough.

Beren: You didn’t give them my phone number did you?

Marni: No, no, no.

Mason: I didn’t have it on me at the time.

Marni: But…

Beren: Alright.

Marni: Yeah. But you’ll meet them because we’ll all hang out soon and it’ll be great. You’re gonna love them. Seriously. Yeah, they’re great.

Mason: But seriously, it’s like there’s like this psychic link goin’ on. I mean, it’s like I love Ghostbusters, Dale loves Ghostbusters. I mean, if there was, like, some sort of file with, like, everything about me, it’s like they’d have read it.

Beren: Yeah.

Marni: Huh. Wow.

Beren: That’s kinda weird.

Marni: Isn’t it amazing when you meet people like that though?

Mason: I don’t even know.

Marni: They just totally…You connect with them and…

Beren: It’s a little odd.

Mason: It’s like BFF’s. Instant BFF’s is what it is.

Marni: Yeah. It kinda feels that way. I think you’re really gonna like them. It’s exciting. It’s nice to have new friends.

Mason: Absolutely.

Marni: Yeah.

Discussion

Marni and Mason have both been having fun with Dale and Ella. But they forgot to tell Beren about their new friends. Then Mason remembers that Dale has been asking about Beren. He wanted her phone number and wanted to see her band.

Mason jokes that Dale has a file containing information about him since he seems to know him so well already. Little does he know, Dale actually has just that!
Suddenly, Beren gets very nervous. As Marni and Mason continue to talk about how great Dale and Ella are, Beren looks more and more concerned. Do you think she’s guessed that Dale and Ella are cops who are looking for her?

I dont think she knows if they are undercover police officers, but she is suspecting about that possibility.

Beren is suspicious of Dale and another kid.because she havent know about them,whereas they know about marni,beren and mason.Maybe,they are merely fan of the band and they want to be friends so they behaved like that in order to be BFF with them.

Beren´s evil twin thinks that there is something fishy going on.

Athan

China

Yeah,totally,from the words that Beren said,we can see that she thinks Dale is a suspicious,how can they talk about me when they never meet me before.Besides,when Dale told that it seems like Dale knew everything about him,his like,habit and all,maybe even Beren dosen't know those,how can a man who only knows them for a couple of weeks,it's weird.All this details arose Beren's suspicision about Mason's new friends.Looking forward the next episode next week!

Yes， I think she is quitely suspecting that she would be found out. From Mason and Marni, she knew that the two guys whom she still didn't meet wanted to know her so much, thus she knew also her own situation.

I think that Beren sure is suspecting if Dale and Ella probably are cops. Because she well realized herself that she is not real Beren.

i don't think Beren can guess Dale and Ella are cops, because we don't know whether she is not a criminal,as to she is very servous, i think she is guess those two guys may be her friends who she do not know, may be there are want to get some informations about her.

I guess Beren had some suspect in their talking( Marini & Mason) for this she got nervous but she hadn't guessed that they are cops because she didn't ask them any question so, she just looked more concerned.
