Ellen Outside the Lines

Ellen and her team text each other at breakfast, trying to piece together the third clue. They already know that they can get to the location by cable car, but they do not know where the place is exactly. Laurel approaches Ellen and invites her to join her team’s excursion to Montjuïc Castle, effectively spoiling the third clue for Ellen’s team. Ellen and her teammates are annoyed, and Ellen is confused as to how Laurel already knows the answer when Laurel’s team had barely started the scavenger hunt the day before.

Both Laurel and Ellen’s teams end up taking the same train and cable car up to the old fort, and Laurel admits that she only knew about this location because she overheard another team talking about it. When Laurel and Ellen are alone, Laurel mentions Andy and opines that he and Madison should talk about their breakup. Ellen bites her cheek and tries to figure out whether she should tell Laurel Andy’s secret. Laurel can sense that Ellen is hiding something and convinces her that it will stay a secret as long as it remains between best friends. Ellen tells Laurel that Andy is gay, and Laurel thanks her for confiding this.
