• Title: Cleopatra in Space – Double
• wiki: link

“Double” offers the reveal of Octavian‘s spy within P.Y.R.A.M.I.D. to be Zaid (Xolo Maridueña) and the introduction of a robot that can take the form of any person Cleopatra (Lilimar) knows. The episode is a comedy of errors as it is primarily focused on the robot doppelganger attempting to get Cleo alone while taking on the form of different members of the school, but whose odd behavior only makes Cleo more suspicious that something is wrong with everyone. The reveal of Zaid as a spy has some nuance as we learn he was forced into the role under threats to his family, although there will still be repercussions for his actions.

“Suspicion” picks up the thread of Cleopatra (Lilimar) believing Callie (Kari Wahlgren) is Octavian‘s spy and setting up to prove it by partnering with the school’s mean girl during the “No Science Fair” when the entire school takes a break from technology.

The episode is notable for the pair burying the hatchet, the closing musical number, and Akila (Katie Crown) discovering Brian (Jorge Diaz) has feelings for her.
