Killed to Death (2)
Shohana Sharmin Sicilia and Dr McShammon
UofT grad student and PhD candidate Louise Farmer (Shohana Sharmin Sicilia) talks about her research in Fisheries and Natural Sciences, and her one lake fact.
Sam Burns, Shohana Sharmin And Principal McNow
A corpse is found in a laser tag maze, and 3rd graders Spike and Jocelyn (Sam Burns and Shohana Sharmin) are the best chance at figuring out the mystery - they were the ones to discover the body, their moms run the laser tag facility, and one of them has a blanket filled with her acidic pee.
Principal McDow McNow, one of the adults who follows them around, lends a hand to the investigation, and is a cool guy.
They talk love, Eddie Murphy, and the fact all of them are wearing pants.
Spike Like!
