Nancy Drew Season 4 Episode 1 The Dilemma of the Lover’s Curse
Nancy launches a new investigation to find a group of missing bodies from Horseshoe Bay’s cemetery that have been dug up and stolen – or have possibly risen. As Nancy is drawn into this ghostly case, a string of unexplained paranormal crimes leads the Drew Crew to believe that the literal sins of the town’s past have returned to haunt the living. Meanwhile, Nancy struggles with yearning for Ace, the man she loves. But when a slow-burning attraction begins between Nancy and the son of Ryan Hudson’s newest enemy, Nancy must decide whether this love interest is worth the ire of both her father and Ace – whose own heart may be tempted by a new relationship too.
The walking dead invaded Horseshoe Bay on Wednesday in the final season premiere of Nancy Drew, giving everyone something to fear.
But first, let’s start with the #Nace of it all: Though Nancy spent most of the hour dodging questions about why the couple can’t be together, she eventually caved and wrote down Ace’s name during the Lovers’ Vigil — and what do you know, he found it! No longer able to deny her feelings for him, Nancy finally told Ace about Temperance’s curse.
There’s a subconscious part of Nancy that’s crumbling under the weight of this secret,” star Kennedy McMann tells TVLine. “She made what she thought was the only decision, which was to keep this secret. There was a little bit of her that hoped he would somehow find out without her being directly responsible for telling him,” hence her writing down his name.
Then again, Ace may not be the only man in Nancy’s life this season. The premiere introduced us to Tristan (played by Henrique Zaga), a handsome lobsterman who also happens to be the son of the Glasses, with whom Ryan and Bess had a near-fatal interaction earlier in the episode.
McMann promises “exciting, surprising reveals” to come in the Nancy-Tristan relationship, explaining that Nancy has “spent so much time harboring feelings for Ace that she can’t act on. She feels isolated and alone, and we’ve seen that she has a habit of running from those uncomfortable feelings, finding solace in physical intimacy or validation in other relationships. She has this longing to be loved, to be able to touch someone who cares about her. The feeling that she’s deprived of in her relationship with Ace drives her to leave a door with Tristan open in a way that she probably otherwise wouldn’t.”
The premiere also introduced us to Horseshoe Bay’s new police chief. (“The real mystery of this show is the case of Horseshoe Bay’s rotating police chiefs,” McMann jokes.) Though Nancy and the chief initially find themselves at odds, we’ll soon learn that “this particular police chief is different than any of the others she’s interacted with before. This police chief’s biggest adversary is actually somebody else, which is a cool subplot.”
