** While Paige knows that Bitsy is trying to purchase Central Park and the mayor is in league with her, she's unable to print her story because she has no proper leads to prove it. Birdie and Brendan may have given her the information but they're not suitable sources. Birdie is the narrator and he's forbidden to reveal any spoilers, and when he accidentally revealed Bitsy was the one who was laundering money to the mayor, he made up an excuse that he overheard some business talk in the park as a busker and that can be a questionable source. And while Brendan may be a Brandenham, he's a kid and they're usually not taken seriously, and not to mention that none of his family takes Bitsy's plan seriously either. Also, the photo of Bitsy and Dmitry together during Anya's wedding that Paige took in "Rival Busker" means nothing without any context.

Luckily, the duckling is able to resurface and the mother duck and her ducklings gets out of the lake. They're now certain there's a snakehead in the lake.
