Esmerelda Lopez the super sleuth was in her backyard when her mom told her someone wanted to talk to her on the phone. It was Mrs. Ortega. She had a problem.

She needed Esmerelda to find her missing key. When they got there Mrs. Ortega was searching through wastebaskets. So Esmerelda made her retrace her steps.

Then Gary, Esmerelda's cousin smashed his finger in a silverware cuboard. Mrs. Ortega told him to run cold water over it. Then she looked at the clock, she figured out that they only have five minutes to find the key and save Mrs. Martinez's husband's party. Then Esmerelda ate an emerald candy and found the key. She found it just in time because Mrs. Martinez just walked into the shop to get the candy. After she left Esmerelda said she saw the key the whole time because of the sunlight. Then Gary said if you saw the key the whole time why did you make me wash dishes. Then Esmerelda said dishwashing is exellent traing for amateurs. Then Esmerelda took a basket of lollipops home. Then Gary said I did wash the dishes, so Esmerelda handed him a lollipop and said you're an amateur.
