While going over the rug, she finds a car and a little boy with his dad, which she realizes is a sign for Carson. They take the rug home and find another mention of the mannequin. Ned stops by to pick her and the girls up. They head to the airport to pick up Bert and Dave, but the two's plane almost crashes. The whole group then goes back to the Drew house to look over the rug some more. The next morning, Nancy finds a message that says Farouk loved his mannequin. Ned thinks the whole thing is weird but agrees to help her with the case. They head off for a picnic lunch and stop by the man...
