'Nancy Drew' Episode 5 preview: George is possessed by Tiffany and Nancy needs to act quickly if she wants to save her friend

It looks like through George, Tiffany breaks into the Hudsons' house as she is seen peering over a sleeping Ryan Hudson
PUBLISHED NOV 6, 2019

Spoilers ahead for Season 1 Episode 4 'The Haunted Ring' of The CW's 'Nancy Drew'

At the end of the last episode 'The Haunted Ring', George (Leah Lewis) is possessed by Tiffany's (Sinead Curry) spirit.

In order to keep her spirit at peace, George was supposed to return the ring Bess (Maddison Jaizani) flicked from the crime scene back on Tiffany's finger. They were told that once that is done, Tiffany's spirit won't be restless anymore. 

But she messes up the instructions her mother had given her — namely placing a hand mirror on Tiffany's chest. This goof-up leads to Tiffany's spirit being released from her body and by the end of the episode, it takes possession of George's body.

The promo released for Episode 5 titled 'The Case of the Wayward Spirit', shows Tiffany acting through George.

According to the official synopsis of the episode, "When Nancy realizes that George is possessed by Tiffany's spirit, she must act quickly to rid her friend of the ghostly passenger before it's too late; a mysterious stranger wanders into The Claw and asks the gang to cater a charity gala."



 

It looks like through George, Tiffany breaks into the Hudsons' house as she is seen peering over a sleeping Ryan Hudson (Riley Smith). 

At the same time, Ace (Alex Saxon) is seen getting close and intimate with Tiffany's sister Laura Tandy. She comes to Horseshoe Bay and stirs up the investigations into Tiffany's death. She isn't convinced that Tiffany died of natural causes. The last episode also showed that she shares a history with Ace. 

According to IMDb, the episode will feature guest star Miles Gaston Villanueva, who is set to play the role of Owen, a young real estate mogul and Ryan's business rival.

Reportedly, "Sparks fly when Owen meets Nancy (Kennedy McMann), but she soon learns he may not have an alibi for the night Tiffany Hudson was killed". Perhaps the gala has something to do with Owen.

Will Nancy be able to free George from Tiffany's spirit? 'Nancy Drew' airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm ET/PT on The CW.
