Simon is in the Lakeview suite, listening in on Marshall
Travers' room. Henry comes in and asks what's going on, and Simon answers
"nothing." "Let me show you what I bought," says Henry
excitedly, showing Simon what seems to be a smoke detector. "Isn't
she beautiful? Now, she set us back about a grand, but let me tell you -
she's state-of-the-art." Simon says that Katie can get that for $4.99
at Price Warehouse. Henry tells him it wouldn't be like this one. It
may look like a smoke detector and sound like a smoke detector, as Henry
demonstrates by setting it off with a lighter. "That's very
loud," says Henry as he turns it off. He explains that inside the
smoke detector is a motion activated camera. Simon worries that someone
might get suspicious, but Henry says no one would think to take apart a smoke
detector. Simon reluctantly calls him a genius, and Henry says, "Oh,
well, thank you, Simon. Now, as soon as Paul gets back, we're gonna go
over to Travers' little hidey-hole and install this baby."

Simon asks what the range is, and Henry tells him it will see everything
in the room. He asks if there's a room near the apartment where they can
set up a monitor, and Simon says there's a storage closet just down the
hall. Paul comes in and tells them about the fire at the Snyder barn, and
that his brother Will was hurt. He's taking a break to find out what's
going on with Travers.

Henry tells him they heard him call Stenbeck on the phone,
although they could only hear one side of the conversation. Paul says it's
only a matter of time before the catch him. But Simon reminds him that
they don't have time, the election is tomorrow. He asks if Paul saw
anything at the apartment. Paul says no, but he was distracted by a former
J.U. barmaid. She claims she's being blackmailed by Travers and wants to
help them. "Who is she and can we trust her?" asks Simon.
"Her name is Brandy? Yeah, I'd trust her," says Henry
sarcastically. Paul says she's worth "cultivating," and Henry
answers, "I bet she is!" Simon agrees they should get what they
can from her, but not tell her anything about what they're doing.

Bonnie and Isaac enter the suite. "It's the beauteous
Bonnie and Isaac," says Henry as he hides the camera. Isaac tells
them that he knows what they're doing and he thinks they're crazy. Henry
says he has to go, and Simon asks Bonnie if she'll take over when Paul goes back
to the hospital. Isaac tries to say no, but Bonnie agrees to help.
Henry and Simon leave to go plant the camera in Travers' secret apartment.
Isaac threatens to call Jessica and tell her about "Lakeviewgate."

Transcripts from ATWTweekly
[ Lakeview Towers Hotel - The I Spy Suite ]
>> Henry: Anything?
>> Simon: No, nothing.
>> Henry: All right, well, let me show you what I bought. [ Singing ]
Isn't she beautiful?
Now, she set us back
about a grand, but let me tell you -- she's state-of-the-art.
>> Simon: A grand? Katie can get these for $4.99 at Price Warehouse.
>> Henry: No, no, no, no. She cannot. Not this baby. Oh, no, no, no, no.
Now, it looks like a smoke detector. It even works like a smoke detector. You
see? You hear that? Yeah, I know, that's very loud. Okay, we'll stop that. But
do you see this little red light right there? It's a motion detector attached to
a nanny cam. Anyone that walks in the room -- voila! They're on candid camera.
>> Simon: Hmm.
>> Henry: Yeah.
>> Simon: All right. So what if someone gets suspicious? What --
>> Henry: What? Simon, of what? What, are going to decide to take apart a
smoke detector? What for?
>> Simon: I don't know. What if Travers likes to -- smoke?
>> Henry: I don't think so.
>> Simon: All right, once again, I label you with the term
"genius."
>> Henry: Oh, well, thank you, Simon. Now, as soon as Paul gets back,
we're gonna go over to Travers' little hidey-hole and install this baby. And the
next time he has a guest?
>> Simon: We'll know who it is.
[ Lakeview Towers Hotel - The I Spy Suite ]
>> Simon: Okay, so what's the range?
>> Henry: You'll get a clear picture of anything that's in the room. It's
motion-activated, and the lens is on a swivel, so anybody that comes in, we'll
see them.
>> Simon: Okay. On what and where? 
>> Henry: On a monitor nearby and on tape. Is there like an empty broom
closet or an empty room? Something like that?
>> Simon: Yeah, there is. Just down the hall.
>> Henry: All right.
[ Paul walks in ]
>> Simon: All right, where have you been?
>> Paul: There was a fire at the Snyder farm.
>> Simon: You're kidding. Did anyone get hurt?
>> Paul: No, everybody's fine -- Lily, Holden, Emma. Luke, he's a little
shook up, though. He was in the barn when it caught fire -- he and my brother
Will. And Will's in intensive care.
>> Simon: Oh, man, I'm so sorry. What happened?
>> Paul: He got hit in the head. Thankfully, Aaron Snyder carried him to
safety and he wasn't burned, but he inhaled a lot of smoke and he hasn't
regained consciousness.
I talked to Hal
and they may have to operate. And so I've been looking for my mother all over
town to let her know, but she's disappeared. So I gotta head back to the
hospital soon, but I wanted to call and come in to check and see what was going
on with you guys. So, guys, give me some good news. I've had enough of the other
kind tonight.
>> Henry: Yeah, well, the good news is Mr. Travers called Mr. Stenbeck on
the phone.
>> Simon: We did only hear one side of the conversation.
>> Paul: Well, it's only a matter of time.
>> Simon: Well, time is running out. Especially how the election is
tomorrow. Did anyone follow Travers out of the room after I left?
>> Paul: No, not that I saw. But I did get sidetracked by someone who
could prove useful.
>> Simon: Who?
>> Paul: A former barmaid at Java Underground. She's running errands for
Travers, said she's scared of him and that he's blackmailing her. She's going to
feed us anything she can. What?
>> Simon: Well, who is she? And can you trust her?
[ Lakeview Towers Hotel - The I Spy Suite ]
>> Henry: Her name is Brandy? Yeah, I'd trust her.
>> Paul: She's worth cultivating. 
>> Henry: I bet she is!
>> Simon: Look, just get whatever info you can out of her. But do not,
under any circumstances, tell her what we're doing, what we're up to, nothing.
>> Paul: Of course.
>> Simon: All right?
>> Bonnie: Hey, you guys.
>> Henry: It's the beauteous Bonnie -- and Isaac.
>> Simon: Hey, Isaac.
>> Isaac: Simon, Paul. I heard about the boy. Everything okay?
>> Paul: Yeah. Fingers are crossed. How'd you hear?
>> Isaac: Word gets out. You know, Oakdale is a small place. It's hard to
keep a secret for long.
>> Simon: So, Bonnie filled you in?
>> Isaac: This goes to Travers' room?
>> Simon: Uh-huh, yeah.
>> Isaac: You realize that this is illegal? And that you're going after a
man who won't hesitate to prosecute, that you're all going to jail, or worse, if
Stenbeck is involved. You of all people know this, Simon. And still, you get
Bonnie involved.
>> Bonnie: Nobody got me involved, Isaac.
>> Isaac: Are you people crazy?!
>> Henry: We gotta get going. 
>> Simon: Listen, Bonnie, Paul's gotta get back to the hospital. Can you
take over here from him when he does?
>> Bonnie: Yes.
>> Simon: That'd be great. Me and Henry, we have got some stuff we need to
do.
>> Isaac: No, no. Bonnie is out.
>> Bonnie: The mouth is moving, but I don't hear a thing. Yes.
>> Simon: Listen, give our best to will.
>> Henry: Yeah, me, too.
>> Isaac: What's that?
>> Bonnie: What?
>> Isaac: That thing that they were carrying out of here?
>> Well, I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. 
>> Isaac: All right, you be like that. We'll see who's laughing at 2:00 in
the morning when you're calling me to bail you out of jail.
>> Paul: Oh, Bonnie, I thought he was supposed to be a tough guy?
>> Isaac: No, I'm just a citizen who's about to make a citizen's arrest.
>> Bonnie: Wait. Who are you calling?
>> Isaac: Your mother. See? I knew she didn't know what you were up to.
>> Paul: We thought it would be best to keep her out of it.
>> Isaac: Like anybody's gonna believe that. You know what we have here?
Lakeviewgate. Mm-hmm. No, a hot election, an incumbent who wires her opponents'
headquarters. If you get caught, your mother's career is over. She wouldn't want
you doin' this, Bonnie, and you know it. So who's gonna make the call? You or
me?
