Episode Notes
- Chris and Carter begin their quest to solve the mystery of the disappearance of over 500 Etna High School staff and students in 1966. They meet Pythagleo and learn that they must work with math concepts and skills in order to receive clues to the mystery.
- The actor portraying Pythagleos’ versatility allows him to take on the role of a teacher, a librarian, a chef and a custodian. He is very good at spontaneous action, as seen by Carter’s expression when being hit by the ruler.
- The actors portraying Chris and Carter, at times, admit to memorizing lines and not personally understanding the content they were presenting. This is reality and models the behavior of our students.
- Chris accuses Pythagleo of being sexist at one point in this episode.
