As Jimmy is not allowed to join, he and Bobby agree to investigate themselves. The Three Musketeers go off following a clue. Jimmy has it all figured out. His logic is that the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime, in this case the greenhouse, so that's where they'll catch him. The trap will be a bucketful of 'spraying stuff' fitted up over the greenhouse door.
Jimmy leaves Bobby and goes inside, in search of something handcuff-like to secure the criminal. His search takes longer than expected, however he does find a chain and a rusty hook. His mother informs him that Sally's aunt has now found the brooch - caught in a scarf. Mrs Manning has told her to go and gather any carnations from the greenhouse that she might like.
Running breathlessly, Jimmy heads towards the greenhouse - we know the outcome! - the spraying stuff has gone all over her! She's gone off in a huff, 'like a volcano'.
Sally appears in the gap of the hedge, which they regularly meet at, and asks if he say covered her aunt in lime wash. He admits to the mistake, however Sally is jubilant at this knowledge - all she wanted was for the aunt, who has been bossing her around, to go home. She's currently packing, refusing to stay. She was fed up with Roger trying to find the brooch. All of this leaves Jimmy the hero, for once, and not Roger.
