Evil

A single mother enlists the team to examine the ways a viral social app is terrorising her family, seeking a solution to the digital harassment they face. At the same time, the Bouchard girls decide to remove an irritating problem that has been plaguing them.

The Demon of Algorithms is a programme presented as a single episode. It is listed simply as an episode‑type entry, with no additional categorisation beyond its basic format. As such, it stands alone as a self‑contained instalment rather than part of a longer series. The narrative centres on a single mother who finds herself overwhelmed by a viral social application that is wreaking havoc on her household. Seeking relief, she turns to the team – the regular investigators of the show – and asks them to probe the ways in which the app is terrorising her family. Their task is to uncover how the platform’s rapid spread is translating into real‑world distress for her loved ones, and to identify any mechanisms that might be driving the disruption. Parallel to the mother’s plea, the Bouchard sisters – referred to as the Bouchard girls – decide to intervene directly. Recognising the app as an irritating problem, they resolve to remove it from the equation. Their approach is straightforward: they aim to eliminate the source of the nuisance, thereby alleviating the pressure it places on the family. This decision adds a complementary thread to the episode, highlighting a proactive response to the digital threat that has been unsettling the household.
