"Mystery She Wished" is the eleventh episode of the first season of the The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish. It is second half of the one-hundred ninety-first (191) episode in the "The Fairly OddParents!" universe overall.

Plot

When Hazel's landlord goes missing, she solicits Cosmo and Wanda's help to get to the bottom of the case.

Synopsis

Marcus and Hazel are watching an old school detective drama on TV and are amazed when they learn who the culprit is. Hazel wants to watch another movie after the current one finishes, but her dad needs to go to bed early but promises that they can do it again next week, just like they normally do. When Hazel goes back to her room, she expresses her frustration to Cosmo and Wanda. Not wanting to wait until next week for her and dad's detective movies, she wants to solve an actual mystery like the one she watches with her father watch on TV.

Hazel (with her fairies in tow) goes outside and tries looking for a potential mystery and in the process, she peers in through the window of her apartment's basement unit, which is where the landlady lives. Hazel sees said landlady accepting a package from a mysterious man. The trio takes the elevator down to the basement of the building -- but when Hazel peers in through the mail slot of the unit's door, it's discovered that the place is completely empty. Hazel then gets an idea and wishes to become a detective so she can solve "the mystery of the missing landlady."

Cosmo and Wanda poof Hazel into a retro detective outfit and the episode is soon narrated like an old school detective movie. While doing her investigating, the first suspects she interviews are Cosmo and Wanda (in their human disguises) -- during this, Hazel then hears some thumping noises coming from the apartment building's basement and goes to investigate, during which she sees the suspicious man who had given a package to her landlady; she questions the man and his wife about the boxes they're taking into the apartment. The man claims that the boxes are filled with supplies for "The end of the world." Hazel then sees the couple's son and tries talking to him, but he's focused on helping his parents furnish their apartment. Hazel sees the boy's parents then carrying out a rolled-up carpet, from which a women's high-heeled show falls out. Hazel sees their son and questions him on the rug, and he claims that it's trash and confirms that his parents always throw their garbage out in "landlady-sized rugs."

Hazel sees the boy at school the next day, but he doesn't seem to know who Hazel is, which (of course) makes her suspicious. While at home, Hazel and her fairies review all the clues and other stuff that they've gathered up so far during the course of the mystery. While Hazel's monologuing, Angela comes in and reveals that she and Marcus have accepted an invitation for their family to have dinner with new tenants that moved into their building's basement unit. Hazel and her parents take the elevator down to the basement and Angela introduces herself and her family to new tenants (who're going by "John and Jane Doe," which are implied-but-not-confirmed to be aliases). John gives Marcus a box supposedly containing a gift, but Hazel (worried that the box may contain something dangerous) grabs it and then claims that it's rude to open boxes before dinner. John takes the box back so they can all have dinner before opening it. Jane then says Hazel can go to the "child room" while the adults get dinner ready. Hazel walks down the hall but ducks into a room before going into the child room, scared about everything getting "too real," Hazel tries wishing everything to go back to normal. But Wanda pulls out Da Rules and explains that, because of the circumstances of her wish, Hazel can't do anything until she solves the mystery (she also can't use magic to do so, since Hazel wished to solve the mystery like the ones on TV, who, of course, don't use magic to solve their mysteries).

Hazel thinks that the culprit is Mr. and Mrs. Doe and rushes to the child room to prove it. In the process, it turns out that Mr. and Mrs. Doe actually have two sons, and the boys are apparently identical twins. The boys explain that Hazel met one of them the day their family moved in and that she met the other at school earlier that day; when Hazel questions the twins on all the canned food and other supplies in their room, the twins claim it's "preparing for the end of the world." Remembering that Mr. and Mrs. Doe had said a similar thing when Hazel first met them, she then figures that the twins' parents must be the culprits. She rushes to the dining room and prevents her parents from having anything that Mr. and Mrs. Doe prepared for dinner. Upon being questioned, Hazel then accuses Mr. and Mrs. Doe of "doing away" with the landlady and points out all the weird stuff she had found in their sons' bedroom. Hearing all this, John and Jane explain that they're doomsday preppers and all the stuff that she found were supplies that they'll use for if/when the world comes to an end, which Hazel's parents confirm. Hazel's confused by all this and questions Mr. and Mrs. Doe about the package they had given to the landlady right before she disappeared, and John reveals that he comes from a long line of fishermen and that the package contained some fish/seafood (like tinned herring). Hazel then questions the Does about the rug she saw them throwing away. Mrs. Doe explains that the rug was left behind by the previous landlady and they ended up using to toss out some trash that they had found, and Mr. Doe explains that they do it like that because governmental agents always check things like plastic bags but something like a rug falls right under the radar.

Hazel then finally realizes what's going on: her landlady simply moved out, allowing the Does to move in, and the landlady also apparently sold the building to Mr. and Mrs. Doe, making them the new landlords (they also insist on the rent being paid in cash from now on). Happy to have finally solved the mystery (which sets everything back to normal), Hazel apologizes to Mr. and Mrs. Doe for all the accusations she threw at them and their sons, but Mr. and Mrs. Doe aren't bothered by it, with Mr. Doe claiming that there's nothing more than a doomsday-prepper respects than paranoia. He and his wife then ask their sons to take out the trash (which the twins do, using another landlady-sized rug).

In the end, Hazel's writing stuff down in her journal and tells Cosmo and Wanda that she thinks she'll be good on mysteries for a while.
