Ep 8. Eight is the New Se7en

Ryan Hansen Solves Crimes on Television season 1 episode 8, Eight is the New Se7en, follows the comedic antics of Ryan Hansen and partner Detective Mathers as they investigate a string of murders that seem to be mimicking the infamous movie, Se7en. The episode begins with a tech-savvy killer posting videos of their murders online, challenging the police to catch them before they reach seven victims. Ryan is eager to take on the case, but Detective Mathers is less than thrilled with the idea of working with a celebrity actor.

As they dive deeper into the investigation, Ryan and Detective Mathers discover a link between the victims that leads them to a local high school. Ryan goes undercover as a substitute teacher to try and identify the killer, but his plan quickly goes off the rails when he becomes more focused on trying to befriend the popular students rather than getting any real information. Meanwhile, Detective Mathers uncovers a shocking secret about the school's principal that may be connected to the murders.

The episode also features appearances by many of Ryan's celebrity friends, including Kristen Bell, Joel McHale, and Aly Michalka, all of whom seem to serve as more of a distraction than a help to the investigation. As the body count climbs, Ryan and Detective Mathers struggle to keep up with the killer's twisted game and stay alive themselves.

With its mix of witty banter, over-the-top action, and sly pop culture references, Eight is the New Se7en is a hilarious and suspenseful episode of Ryan Hansen Solves Crimes on Television that will leave viewers guessing and laughing until the very end.
