In "The Old Shell Game," Jo and the gang escape the tension at Ronnie’s beach cottage—where her parents are locked in a heated debate over renovations—by heading down to the shore to collect shells. There, amid the tide and sand, they stumble upon a surprisingly large shell, its weathered surface hinting at a past far older and more serious than any childhood adventure.
