In a hostage situation, the easy part for the criminal is making demands. You saw that last week when Dale and Ella chased Evil Beren into her hideout and she called them on the phone to tell what she wanted to release her twin. The hard part, however, is making the switch, and that’s what today’s episode of the Ebaby! soap opera is about.
Evil Beren told Dale and Ella to meet her at the waterfront at 12. Watch as they arrive a little before noon to wait for her. Will they rescue Beren or will she doublecross them?
3. Watch - Watch the video without reading the dialog.

One tricky thing about telling time in English is if someone says “12 o’clock” it could mean noon or midnight. As Dale and Ella found out, that’s a big difference! They waited for Beren for almost 12 hours before she showed up.
When she came, Dale tricked her not counting to three when they planned to exchange her twin for her demands. Then he arrested her.
Meanwhile, Jason and Devan happened to be out enjoying the night on a walk. They’re extremely confused when they find Dale and Ella arresting Beren and then see that Beren has a twin!
