Jess is a 20-year-old math genius who is working with a rabble of misfits to break out of an escape room. She’s something of a mathematician genius, working out large sums in her head and managing to help the group escape.
Jess is a bright young woman who is determined to make her dreams come true. She has been messing around in escape rooms and in the FBI cryptanalysis department for the past year, and she has a dream to be part of the team that solves puzzles. Jess is very smart and knows a lot about math, languages, and other things.
For now, it’s back to her job at the Storage lot, where she has to figure out who Iam Phasma (which literally means “I am A Ghost”) is. Jess believes this is a Freemason but given there are over 20,000 in Louisiana alone, then there’s not much to go on.
Sadusky tells her that the medallion is from the ancient kingdom of Atlantis, and that it’s been lost for centuries. He also reveals that the oath was made to unbury a lost history of entire civilizations, and that they’re currently working on finding it. He also asks her if she’s interested in learning more about it, and she agrees.
After giving the letter to her, Peter warns her not to trust anyone. This letter, though addressed to his grandson, Liam, is actually from a relative of hers. Peter has something special for her too- a letter that holds a clue to a treasure of great importance. After giving it over, Peter warns her not to trust anyone and this letter is actually from his relative.
As the series whips across to Madrid, we find our antagonist of the piece, Billie, opening up a hidden compartment in a mansion and finding a lost trove of art. They’re after an Aztec relic, determined to track it down before it’s too late.
Billie heads over to the US to investigate Jess’ departure, and notices footage of her leaving from outside the Mason’s house. It’s still unknown how she obtained this footage, but there it is. Anyway, Billie is determined to figure out what this means, while Jess decides against opening the letter. ..
Jess is interrogated by the FBI agents about her DACA status in the US. They ask her a lot of questions and she’s not sure if they’re from the FBI or not. She’s also not sure if they’re really from the US or just trying to scare her.
Jess and Tasha return home to their apartment, which has been turned upside down. However, they don’t find any of their belongings inside. They do, however, find a letter that they were looking for. Jess opens it up and takes a look to see if there is any information inside.
There’s a map inside the box, but it’s just a picture of Sadusky and his family. Next to the letter is a picture of Liam, which Jess manages to track down. It turns out that he’s actually a singer in a bar and he doesn’t want anything to do with the letter or Peter. As such, it seems like the clues are leading in different directions. Jess starts to think that maybe the map is just an elaborate fake created by someone looking for something.
As they head out, the fake feds end up in hot pursuit. They’re not exactly subtle and Jess immediately figures them out, with the pair losing their tails and arriving at the exact location from the picture, which happens to be a Freemason church. Tasha decides to broadcast this live online for the world to see, as Jess finds one of the lost treasures. The symbol matches that of her necklace too. As a result, they hightail it outside with the treasure in hand. So just to confirm, these kids now have video footage of Jess stealing treasure which could get her deported or locked up… or both!
Billie rings her friends and tells them that she has a relic that could potentially incriminate them if they don’t hand it over to her. Jess and Oren both refuse to give it up, so Billie threatens them with death if they don’t cooperate.
The Episode Review

Disney+ is a new streaming service from Disney that will compete with Netflix and Hulu. The service has been announced for release in late 2019. The most surprising thing about National Treasure: Edge of History is the Disney+ logo next to this. I could have sworn this was a CW production. All the cookie cutter characters are in play, alongside a pretty condescending tone tailored toward teens. Information is repeated constantly, the dialogue is woeful at best and there’s the usual subtle but noticeable digs at the patriarchy and US politics. ..
The show’s production values are poor and the story is full of holes. Whether intentional or not, we now have video evidence that Jess - an illegal immigrant on the show - stole a relic to Tasha’s 100,000-view strong YouTube channel. ..
This light show is a typical example of how Disney productions fail to stand out from the rest. It’s not particularly interesting or exciting, and it’s not really worth your time.
