1 The Missing Parents
10/12/21
Min (OCEAN LIM) and Yu Na Park (HANNAH KIM) think their parents (JULIA YON and DANNY KIM) are boringly ordinary, until they wake up one morning to find them missing: leaving only a strange dog named Ludwig and a note warning them not to trust anyone. Enlisting their closest friends, Raph (GEORGE HOLAHAN-CANTWELL), Allegra (ALEX KIS) and Dutch (LULU QUIRK), to help keep their secret, Yu Na and Min must make it through the day without raising any suspicion. But with a new, especially nosy guidance counsellor (Ms. Waters, SHONDELLE PRATT) and a suspicious man intent on following them home, the task proves much more difficult than expected. The kids are forced to employ a number of different tactics to stay safe, including an imperfect Mrs. Park disguise and some wrestling moves. At the end of the day, they make a shocking discovery: the parents they thought were so boringly ordinary are in fact spies!
2 Mission Possible
10/12/21
When a mysterious package shows up on the Park family's doorstep containing a bug-sized camera and a note with the address of an enemy agent's house, Min and Yu Na realise this is a spy mission from their parents' top-secret spy organisation, Tenacity. In their parents' absence, they decide to embark on the spy mission themselves - paying a visit to the house while Dutch, Raph and Allegra keep an eye on them via the CCTV footage in their parents' secret spy room. At the enemy agent's house, Yu Na and Min are in the midst of planting the camera when the enemy spy unexpectedly arrives home. With some quick-thinking, they make a nifty escape and get back home safely, where a suspicious Talgat (Yu Na's wrestling nemesis, EDUARD GEYL) is waiting for them with some questions about their new dog.
3 Parent Teacher Night
10/12/21
It's Parent Teacher Night and Min and Yu Na are in a panic - how are they supposed to get through this with both their parents missing? They pay a visit to their family's hardware store to convince a very reluctant Mr. Potts (NICHOLAS HOPE) to step in as acting grandfather, and Dutch designs an earpiece for him to wear so they can communicate lines for him to deliver on the night. However, when a voice interrupts their frequency halfway through Mr. Potts' interview about the school play with Min's drama teacher (Mr. Brown, MATTHEW BACKER), the kids realise there must be a bad spy present! When a black-out sends the evening into chaos, Yu Na seizes the opportunity to track down the voice and catches three possible suspects in the school corridor: Mr. Turei (MIRITANA HUGHES), the janitor; Ms. Waters, the counsellor; and George (SOCRATIS OTTO) - Allegra's dad.
4 Lies, Spies and Maintenance Guys
10/12/21
The kids invite the three Parent Teacher Night suspects over for an afternoon of interrogation - with the help of a small bottle of truth serum found in their parents' spy room, which Raph bakes into a delicious batch of muffins. When the suspects show up, the kids have thirty minutes to get the truth out of them before it wears off - which gets derailed by its various side effects, including speaking in foreign languages and random bursts of emotions. Still, the kids manage to find a way to ask a direct enough question to find the truth - which is that Mr. Turei is a bad spy, working for Turmoil, and he has an upcoming mission at the Botanic Gardens. But once all the suspects are gone, Min and Yu Na discover an uneaten cupcake - which means one of the other suspects was lying!
5 Halmeoni
10/12/21
The kids organise an excursion to the Botanic Gardens to intercept the Turmoil drop-off mission - but things go astray when, on the day, Halmeoni (their grandmother, KYUNG OAK KIM) shows up out of the blue! They make a lame excuse for their parents' absence before rushing off to the excursion - only to arrive to find her already there with a Seniors Group, much to their surprise. The kids must divide their efforts between keeping Halmeoni safe from Turmoil activity and throwing Ms. Waters off the scent for long enough to intercept Mr. Turei's drop-off. But when they finally get to the drop-off point, the package is already gone! Moments later, Halmeoni reveals that she swiped it herself - because she's also a spy! She gives it to them with an instruction to 'protect the Seedling' before disappearing.
6 Childhood
10/12/21
Min and Yu Na are in the middle of inspecting the mysterious device Halmeoni left with them when it starts beeping suddenly - showing that, whatever the 'Seedling' they're supposed to be protecting is, it's at the hardware store. They pay a visit to the store to track the Seedling down, only to realise that it's their very own Mr. Potts, who wears the tracker around his neck! But Mr. Potts can't leave the store unattended, so while Min takes Mr. Potts back to their house, Yu Na takes over running the family business for the day - which proves far more difficult than expected, since the store is having its sale of the year. Both the house and store descend into chaos as the kids try to stay on top of it all, but with the help of their friends (and Talgat!) they manage to get both jobs done.
7 Sixteen Smiles
10/12/21
Yu Na is excited for her sixteenth birthday, until it becomes clear that everyone else has forgotten. Min is pre-occupied with a science project he'd forgotten about for the notorious Mr Cranky Pants' class, and with Allegra's help, he steals a device called The SmileMaker from the spy room to hand in. The presentation goes well until he pushes the device to its limits, giving the whole class severe migraines. To make matters worse, use of the device has attracted the attention of Turmoil and Mr. Turei shows up while the kids are in sick bay. Min asks Yu Na to break into the classroom and destroy the device, which she does - earning herself a detention. After a very bad day, she returns home from school to find everyone waiting to surprise her with a birthday party, and all is forgiven.
8 Fly Fly Birdie
10/12/21
Min's rehearsals for the upcoming play are interrupted by a phone call from Yu Na to say that Ludwig is missing. Raph and Allegra cover for Min at school and Dutch stays home to keep an eye on Mr. Potts while the Park siblings go looking. On their search, Min and Yu Na visit a local council, where Min dresses up as their father to register a Missing Pet notice – shortly after which, they run into a very emotional Ms. Waters, who tells them she is keen to help them with their hunt. While spending time with them, Ms. Waters reveals that she knows their parents are spies – and that she is too, sent by Tenacity to look out for them. They find Ludwig at the bad spy's house (from Episode 2) and rescue him in time to be back for the play. But little do they know, at home, Mr. Potts has gone missing…
9 Comicbookfest
10/12/21
When Min notices Mr. Potts is missing from his cubby, he agrees to take Raph and Allegra to go find him while Yu Na focuses on getting ready for formal. The three kids pay a visit to ComicBookFest, where Mr. Potts' note says he is, but Min struggles to get in and is let down by his friends' half-hearted efforts to help him. Tensions come to a head when Raph sees Mr. Potts' note and reveals that it's actually Talgat's handwriting. The three kids arrive at the formal just in time to interrupt Yu Na and Talgat's slow dance where Yu Na is shocked to learn the truth about her crush. Ms. Waters takes them home and they find the house has been ransacked in their absence - only to learn that Ms. Waters is a bad spy too and has been using them to gain information about the whereabouts of a top-secret vault.
10 Stronger Together
10/12/21
Aware that the top-secret vault contains seeds critical to the world's food supply, Min and Yu Na urgently round up their friends to stop Turmoil's mission. Min, Raph and Allegra track Mr. Potts to a warehouse where he is being held hostage by Talgat while Yu Na and Dutch make their way to the vault - where they find the Park parents trapped by Ms. Waters! After Min narrowly escapes capture at the warehouse and runs to get help, he and Yu Na are caught and thrown into the now-emptied vault with their parents - and a bomb! By using all their new skills, they defuse the bomb and manage to get out. Meanwhile, Talgat has a change of heart and helps Raph, Allegra and Dutch escape Turmoil's clutches. Together, the Tenacity squad chase the baddies to the harbour to stop them making their escape.

About this show

Until now 15-year-old Yu Na (HANNAH KIM) and her 12-year-old brother Min (OCEAN LIM) have had a fairly unremarkable life. They live in a house in the suburbs, attend a local school and their boring middle-aged parents run a hardware store two blocks from home. Yu Na often wishes her life was a bit more exciting and it seems her wish has come true when Yu Na and Min wake to find that their parents (DANNY KIM and JULIA YON) have disappeared. Like, not just late home from the shops. Properly disappeared! All that's left behind is a note at the heavily-laden breakfast table: Morning my darlings, We've had to run out. Keep safe until we return. Trust no one and act normal. P.S Feed the Dog The note's strange enough, but last time they checked, they didn't even have a dog! Now, there's an Alsatian with a name tag that reads 'Ludwig' sniffing around the house. While Yu Na and Min work together to "adult" their way through every day, they soon come to the realisation that their seemingly normal parents are actually international spies coming from a distinguished lineage of agents. Things start to heat up when the kids discover they must complete their parents' spy "to do" list and they begin to notice strange people lurking around the neighbourhood. They decide they can't fulfill their spy mission alone. They recruit Min's drama club friends, Allegra (ALEX KIS) and Raph (GEORGE HOLAHAN-CANTWELL), both of whom relish the opportunity to support Min in his role of a lifetime. Likewise, Yu Na enlists the support of her bestie, Dutch (LULU QUIRK), a mad K-POP fan and technical guru. This mismatched ragamuffin bunch have to use all their skills to uncover their mission, fight off the baddies, keep themselves alive, save the free world… plus do their own laundry! For these two regular teenagers things will never be the same as they come to terms with the fact that their ordinary and dull parents have been secretly training them for this very opportunity throughout their whole lives. Yu Na and Min were indeed Born to Spy – and now they must prove it
