Ep 5. The Green Bike

In Home Before Dark season 1 episode 5, titled The Green Bike, we find Hilde and Izzy on a new mission. Their aim is to find out who is behind the vandalizing of the town's iconic statue, the Spirit of Truth.

Hilde has a lead in the form of a green bike that she found near the statue. She believes that the person who vandalized the statue might have ridden it to get there. Hence, she sets out to find the owner of the bike with the help of her friend, Izzy.

The two girls spot a boy named Donny riding a green bike near the scene of the crime. They start to follow him and, after a while, they catch up with him. Donny turns out to be a kind and helpful boy who is willing to help them with their mission. He confirms that the bike they found belongs to him and that he had lent it to his friend, Dilly.

As they continue their investigation, they discover that there are several graffiti tags that match those found on the Spirit of Truth statue, and they all seem to point to one person, Richie. Although he denies knowing anything about the vandalism, Hilde is convinced that he is involved and won't stop until she can prove it.

Meanwhile, Hilde's father, Matt, continues his own investigation into the Richie Fife case. He receives a mysterious message from someone who claims to have a new lead. But when he follows up on it, he finds nothing. This only fuels his suspicions that someone is trying to mislead him.

Back to Hilde's investigation, she and Izzy are caught by the police while they were trying to gather evidence about Richie's involvement in the vandalism. They are brought in for questioning, and it is revealed that Hilde's father had authorized the investigation.

Despite the setback, Hilde is determined to prove Richie's guilt, and she convinces Donny and Dilly to help her by offering them a ride on her new bike. They go to Richie's house and find him working on a new graffiti piece. Hilde records him admitting to the crime and presents the evidence to the police.

In the end, justice is served, and the vandalism case is solved. But Hilde's father's investigation into Richie Fife's case takes a dramatic turn when he receives a new lead that could change everything.
