Freeform just hit us with another nail-biting episode of The Watchful Eye! Elena and Ginny crash the Save New York Gala while Roman goes on a date and searches Mrs. Ivey’s apartment. ‘Save New York’ was written by Jordan Roter and directed by Joy T. Lane.
Risky Plan | It’s time for the Save New York Gala hosted by the Greybournes! Roman (Andres Velez) and Bennet (Grace Kaufman) flirt while looking at an invitation, and Matthew (Warren Christie) tells Elena (Mariel Molino) it’s an overrated event. When Elena realizes Mrs. Ivey (Kelly Bishop) will be at the Gala she devises a plan for Roman to search her apartment for the ruby.
Why can’t Elena search it herself? She’s going to be sneaking into the Gala with Ginny (Aliyah Royale) to snoop and keep an eye on Mrs. Ivey. This is definitely a very risky plan, one that involves some preparation. Elena needs to get into Mrs. Ivey’s apartment and open the hidden door for Roman, and she devises the perfect excuse to get in; Jasper’s (Henry Joseph Samiri) piano lesson. While Jasper practices Elena is able to sneak away briefly and unlock the hidden door.
The plan seems to be working well, Elena and Ginny get into the Gala without a hitch and look fabulous in their disguises. Roman shouldn’t have a problem searching Ivey’s apartment, except that he almost doesn’t even make it to it. Roman and Bennet have a “date” while Dick (Christopher Redman) and Tory (Amy Acker) are at the Gala, and almost misses his window to search Ivey’s place. Luckily he does make it inside and searches everywhere, but he doesn’t find any ruby. And he ALMOST gets caught by Mrs. Ivey when she returns.
Beat Up | Inside the Gala Matthew somehow recognizes Elena, but isn’t upset that she’s snuck in, rather he seems impressed. Later she decides to follow Otis Winthrop to snoop and ends up coming across Dick getting the absolute crap beaten out of him. Scott (Jon-Michael Ecker) pulls her away and she is not only shocked that he’s there, she’s pissed. So pissed that she actually ends things with Scott.
Lies | Elena, Roman, and Bennet have a very awkward conversation about Elena and Roman’s relationship and Elena lies and says they’ve hooked up. Roman is so upset with Elena that he quits the mission. In her room, Ginny confronts Elena about who she really is. Elena’s phone was stolen at the Gala and Ginny receives a text from it while speaking with Elena. It’s a picture of them at the Gala and it says they know who she is. Now Ginny REALLY wants to know more about Elena.
