Episode Recap

Jimmy wakes up to staring into the face of a police officer who has discovered him.For some reason the officer keeps calling him "little boy." Jimmy can't understand why. He notices that his clothes are very big for him. He thinks this guy is suspicious so when the cop turns around to call for backup, Jimmy stands and runs away. The officer and his partner start frantically looking for him. Back at the Moore Detective Agency, Rachel comes in to find the place littered with beer and cigarettes. She wonders what happened. Jimmy is running down a street, wondering what's going on. Suddenly, his foot catches on his jeans and brings him down. He can't think why he's so out of breath. He stands and looks at himself in the store window. He's been shrunk to the size of a little kid. Then he remembers the poison that he was given. That must be what happened. Rachel tries to call his house but no one answers. She decides to go there and figure out what happened. Back at his house Jimmy can't get in the front gate. Suddenly, a hole is blown in the wall of the mansion grounds. Dr. Agasa climbs out and Jimmy runs up to talk to him. In his shrunken form though, Dr, Agasa doesn't recognize him. Thinking he's a kid pulling a prank, Agasa begins to drag Jimmy away to find a policeman. Jimmy is able to convince the doctor by using clues to figure out that Agasa just ran home from dinner at a restaurant. When he finishes, he uses Jimmy's catch phrase and Dr. Agasa finally believes him. Inside, Jimmy changes into his smaller clothes and meets the doctor in the study. Apparently, the poison shrunk his body but left his mind intact. Jimmy begs him to develop an antidote. Agasa says he wants to but he'd need a sample of the poison to do that. They decide they need to keep his real identity a secret in case the men come looking for him again. Then they hear Rachel come in the front door. Jimmy hides under a desk while Agasa tries to get rid of her. Jimmy thinks he needs a disguise so he picks up his father's glasses out of an open drawer. The prescription is all wrong so he can't see. He accidentally hits his head on the desk and decides to pop the lenses out so he can see. Rachel hears him hit his head and comes around the desk to find Jimmy. Rachel looks at him, Jimmy's afraid she recognizes him but all she does is hug him tightly and call him adorable. Agasa explains that the little boy is a relative of his. When she asks his name, he almost says "Jimmy" then remembers he needs a new name. On the bookshelf next to him are a couple of books written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Ranpo Edogawa. He comes up with the name Conan Edogawa. Agasa asks Rachel if "Conan" can stay at her house. Conan begins to protest but Agasa whispers that her father is a detective so Conan could use that to help locate the men in black. As Rachel and Conan walk home Rahcel asks if he has a girlfriend. He claims its gross but Rachel says that he wont always think so and that she has someone she loves. Conan laughs and says "Its that boy you were looking for tonight isn't it? You like Jimmy." She giggles and says that it is. To him it was a joke. He didn't expect her to say yes. She starts saying how he's very full of himself but he was always there for her. She finishes by saying that she loves him. Conan begins to blush deeply. When they get to Rachel's house, Conan begins trying to tell Rachel the truth about who he is. Before he can say anything, though, Richard comes running down the stairs yelling wildly. He finally got a case about some rich guy's daughter getting kidnapped. He jumps in a taxi still laughing raucously when he notices that Rachel is in the car. He asks her what she's doing there and she says she's trying to get him out, indicating Conan. Richard asks who it is and Rachel explains. Once at the house, Richard is talking to the father of the girl who was kidnapped. Conan is trying to see so he can figure out what happened but he's too short. He's finally able to see a picture and asks the butler, who was the only witness, what happened. Everyone begins to look at him and Richard gets angry and thumps him on the head. The butler explains that a man in black came over the wall, grabbed the girl, demanded that the father's business was to be closed down for a month, and climbed out using a tree by the fence. Then Mr. Tanner, the girl's father explains that a ransom had just been phoned in. Conan walks over to a ball lying on the ground and begins to juggle it like a soccer ball. Rachel comments on how Jimmy used to do that to help him think. Suddenly a very large dog jumps out of the bushes, barking viciously. Rachel goes to pull Conan away but the dog settles down when Conan starts spinning the ball on his finger. The dog start licking his face as the father says that Jumbo doesn't take to everyone. Conan wants to say he's figured it out but he knows he can't reveal his proficiency at detective work. Hoping Richard will take the hint, Conan comments that the dog can't bark at everyone. Tanner explains that he's a very good guard dog. Richard gets it and says that no one heard the dog bark so Asao, the butler, may be lying. He admits it was all him and he reveals the location of the girl. But suddenly a maid walks out with a phone. Tanner tells her to go away but she insists. On the phone is a man claiming to be the kidnapper asking for money. Conan realizes that there were two kidnappings. The first was a fake than she was kidnapped again by someone else more dangerous. Conan jumps on the dog's back and rides off after the girl yells into the phone from the back ground that they're in a school equipment shed and she can see a smokestack out the window. He can only think of five schools in the area, but the girl isn't at any of them. Then he sees a large skyscraper down the road. He begins to run around the side until he's directly on the side. There are no windows and Conan realizes that it looks a lot a smokestack. There's only one school that can see the building from that angle. He rushes off toward the school. Inside the shed the kidnapper finishes phoning in instructions for dropping off the money. Then he turns to the girl and pulls out a knife. As he's about to kill her, Conan appears at the door and the dog jumps onto the man and knocks him over. The man is able to hit the dog so Conan is forced to try and attack him himself. He's too small to be able to hurt him so he tries kicking a soccer ball but that doesn't work either. The man is about to kill Conan with a bat when Rachel comes out of nowhere and blocked the bat. She uses her karate moves to take down the man as everyone else rushes in. Richard kicks the already beaten man a few times and begins to exclaim that he's the greatest. Back at the Tanner house, the girl explains that it wasn't Asao's fault. She wanted him to spend more time with her so she hatched this plan to get his company closed so he'd pay attention to her. Mr. Tanner turned to Asao and yells at him to plan a trip for them to Australia. On the way home Rachel asks her father if Conan can stay. He thinks for a moment and then yells that of course he can stay because the day he shows up they got a rich client and solved the case.
