Though we imagine some fans might find them annoying, by our estimation, the Bouchard sisters are the real heroes of the show. It’s a delight to see them challenge — or at least annoy — Leland to the point where he gives up trying to mess with them. Their most heroic moment came during the Season 3 finale when they literally saved their father’s life.
When Edward (Tim Matheson) answers a video call with the Bouchards that was meant to be with Andy (Patrick Brammall), Kristen quickly pushes them out of the room, knowing something is wrong. However, the girls know something is wrong too, and they don’t believe their dad has actually been trapped in an avalanche, as Edward says. Suspecting that Leland is somehow involved, they come up with an ingenious plan, messaging him on Bumblebee Valley, the virtual game he uses to try and trick them. When they hear a familiar ping notification coming from the call, they know they were right.
Weirdly enough, neither Kristen nor Ben (Aasif Mandvi) believes the girls when they reveal their suspicions. Ben’s dismissal of Laura’s claim seems especially strange, especially since it’s a fairly logical explanation. Andy is brought home thanks to the girls’ machinations, but it’s quickly revealed that all is not right. Our hope for the next season is that the Bouchard sisters will finally be recognized for their ingenuity instead of being dismissed by the adults around them.
