Image
 Let's recap again, just in case you missed any parts of this absolutely insane story! Sweet Valley High #107: Jessica's Secret Love Sweet Valley High #108: Left at the Altar   Sweet Valley High #109: Double-Crossed     Jessica throws herself at Jeremy because even though he literally just got caught making out with Sue, he came back for her! He has no time to celebrate though because, you know, Sue went missing. Jeremy shows them Sue's necklace as proof that someone took her. Jessica thinks the whole thing is ridiculous and that Sue probably made the whole thing up just to trap him. Come on, Jess, it's not like she took a page from your playbook.

  Nancy is less than enthused about a recent mystery involving her father. Carson is working on a case about a glowing eye and initially asked for her help but then turned to Marty, a new and pretty associate working for the firm. Nancy calls her friends and asks for help. Not long after they get there, a helicopter comes out of nowhere and lands on the front lawn. By the time they get outside, no one is there. They do find a note inside from Ned that warns Nancy about the cyclops. The cops and neighbors then show up along with Carson. They realize that it was a robot copter, as in one controlled by someone else with no pilot. George calls Burt at Emerson College and learns that not only did Ned go missing, but there are rumors that someone kidnapped him! They then get heavy ropes and tie down the copter, but it somehow still gets away the next morning. Nancy and her friends decide to go to Emerson and look for Ned. They run into Carson and Marty at a restaurant on the way....

Lila kind of thinks that the whole thing is romantic but wonders if her friend made the right decision. Liz calls to tell her twin that Ned and Alice are seriously talking about sending her to boarding school. Jess blows the whole thing off because as soon as they see that she and Jeremy are truly in love, they'll understand everything. The new lovebirds go out like twice before Jeremy tells her that he has to leave town on a Project Nature assignment in Costa Rica. He promises that he'll only be gone a few weeks and when he comes back, he can transfer to their office in California. Before he leaves, he gives her an engagement ring, the same on that she picked out when shopping ...
