Sequence

Each episode opens with a question introducing the two investigations of the week, followed by the title sequence. Part one of each story features Araya and Christina separately. The "V-File" segment has Doubting Dave answering a viewer's emailed question about a mysterious occurrence. Part two of each adventure follows, then the "Mystery Lab" segment with a related experiment. Araya and Christina conclude their stories, and the hosts close with a comedic wrap-up and the tagline.

Characters

Doubting Dave, played by David Acer, appears in two segments per episode: answering fan questions and conducting an experiment tied to the episode's topic. Christina Broccolini and Araya Mengesha investigate the show's topics at various locations, usually separately but sometimes together.
