Episode 9: Under the Sphinx

One day at home in Peru, Aurora Dory finds herself reflecting on her five uniquely gifted children. But when her youngest son wonders aloud about the silence from Egypt-based older brother, the family begins to wonder if something sinister is afoot.

As the family recovers from their ordeal, they begin to process the unusual events they had been involved in — and slowly discover that the adventure was nowhere near finished for the Dory Horde.

Trapped in the mystical plans of Ali Zaki and family, the Dory clan can see no way out from a path of certain destruction. But could there be one person to release them all from this evil scheme?

Together in an underground room, the descendants of Solomon Dory begin to hash out the conflicts left too long between them … until they notice strange bodily sensations that appear to be initiated by a group of shrouded men entering the room.

Salvador awakes from a dream that he lost the children — and then realizes that this is no dream. Together with Maria and Diane, they seek to solve the mystery of the children’s disappearance and the meaning behind it all.

Safe in a hotel room with her brother and sister, Tahoe tosses and turns in bed, unable to sleep. When she suddenly senses someone outside, she and her siblings find themselves caught up in a series of inescapable events.

After being prevented from boarding the yacht, Bennu was strongly persuaded to spend the night in an elegant hotel. But upon waking, the connections in her mind come quickly and she begins to see what her next steps will entail.

Aboard a luxurious yacht, the Dory family settles in for a long ride with the mysterious Ali Zaki. As he explains his story to them, they begin to understand that the tale Solomon told all those years ago might not have been the complete truth.

As Maria, Apollo, and Diane arrive at the local airport, they receive messages from Salvador indicating where they should meet the family. Once they get settled into their rooms, Maria experiences an intuition about the danger her family may be facing.

Racing away from their pursuers, Aurora, Bennu, and Colum discover that their plan to escape by jet has been thwarted as well. But Colum’s driving skills and determination keep them racing toward her eldest brother.

Dr. Carmen Gonzalez realizes the seriousness of the situation and finally makes phone contact with Salvador about the three Dory children in her charge. As they await his arrival, they discover that someone else has been watching out for them all along.

Aurora, Bennu, and Colum arrive at their destination somewhat flustered but determined to find Tag. As they follow Colum’s impeccable sense of direction, they’re led to the mythical clue … that just might be the key to Tag’s whereabouts.

Detained by Egyptian authorities, Tag and Alistair have nowhere to turn for help. But in a moment of unexpected good fortune, they are set free and released into the care of someone they have reason not to trust.

As the three youngest Dorys set off toward the Sphinx, their triumphant feelings turn to confusion when they encounter unforeseen obstacles. But as they follow their instincts, they meet the exact person they need for the next step in their quest.

As she adjusts reluctantly to Colum’s role as pilot, Aurora learns from Bennu about their family’s ties to Ancient Egyptian mythology — but nothing prepares her for the mysterious message she receives upon landing in Hermopolis.

As Alistair and Tag explore the underground tomb, they begin to piece together the ways ancient Egyptian mythology might overlap with their own family history. But their conversation becomes suddenly interrupted when a group of unexpected visitors arrive.

In their swanky hotel, the three youngest Dory children settle into their hotel room while Salvador runs an errand. But soon after he departs, Tahoe receives a message that convinces her siblings that they need to take immediate action.

Aurora’s decision to find Tag becomes a trip of a lifetime when Bennu picks her up in a sports car … driven by 17-year-old Colum. Along the way, Aurora learns more about the danger that might be facing Tag and the actions they’ll need to take to find him.

Arriving in Egypt, Aurora and her children are met with a surprise: the father Theo has arrived ahead of them. But an even bigger surprise comes as Theo explains the family history he has kept secret all these years.

Aurora’s concern over Tag leads her to make a decision: the rest of the family will all go to Egypt in search of the eldest brother, despite the objections of the children’s father. The Dory Family is going to Egypt and will meet whatever challenges arise.

Thousands of miles away from Peru, 19-year-old Tag Dory is exploring a deep and dark passageway heading toward an Egyptian burial chamber. What is he doing? Why is he doing it? And who is this friend who has brought him to such a mysterious place?
