Darby Spencer (Stacey Farber), on being disrespected one too many times in her work as a police officer, abruptly quits. Then she finds out her boyfriend (whose condo Darby has lived in) is also cheating. She breaks up with him, but then finds herself homeless and with no friends willing to put her up reluctantly goes back home.Darby's mother Victoria (Lea Thompson), a successful mystery writer who she's got a poor relationship with, lets her back into her old room as the two continually snipe at each other. Darby soon finds herself investigating a perjury claim against her friend, which her mother inserts herself into, to Darby's annoyance.When they solve the case together, Darby and Victoria grow closer to each other, deciding they make a good team. Victoria reveals she's suffering from writer's block, and Darby needs a job. The pair decide to open a detective agency which they dub The Spencer Sisters (as Victoria's mistaken often for Darby's sister instead of her mother) where they solve more cases together as private eyes.The first season was originally aired from January 29th to April 21st 2023 on CTV in Canada, since then it has been picked up for US distribution by The CW, which began airing it October 4th 2023. | |

Chekhov's Gun: The first season finale has a Chekhov's glitter bomb; early in the episode, Lucas bemoans the fact that his fiancee has ordered a ton of glitter bombs for their wedding ceremony, intending to shower the guests in glitter. Darby borrows one of them and uses it to distract the mobsters in the episode's climax. | |

In "The Virtuoso's Vexation" Darby and Victoria confront a student at her school who framed the caretaker for a crime.

Cowboy Cop | |
| The Spencer Sisters / int_3dd3951e | comment |
Cowboy Cop: Darby is a frustrated police officer when the story starts whose (correct) suggestions get ignored and thus she goes off to chase down leads on her own against the orders of her superiors. She's finally going to get officially reprimanded, which will kill her chance to make detective, making Darby quit in frustration. It's downplayed since she doesn't break any laws doing this, and rather than indulged it gets her into trouble. | |

Bittersweet Ending: In the season 1 finale, Darby and Victoria are able to save Billy and help capture the art criminals that were after him, but Billy isn't completely absolved of his other crimes and is still a murder suspect so he is also taken into custody. Also, the Love Dodecahedron between Darby, Lucas, Lindsay, and Des gets messier as Lucas kisses Darby in the finale. But for now, the Spencer Sisters solved the case, Darby and Victoria have grown closer than before, their agency is a success, and Darby is behind Victoria's literary career and is finally ready to face the truth about her father's abusive behavior. | |

The Missus and the Ex: Darby previously dated Lucas, who's now engaged to Lindsay. When they cross paths again since Darby's working on cases Lucas and Lindsay are connected to, this causes some tension. Lindsay is jealous of Darby and suspicious, as she suspects Lucas might have lingering feelings for her. It's implied that Darby at least does still like Lucas. Lindsay gets over this however, partly as Darby is now connected to Des, another man, but also due to Darby's helping her out greatly. | |

Twofer Token Minority: The cast is mostly white and straight, with a few exceptions. Zane is black and also gay. Paolo, Zane's husband, is a Latino. Des, who's also black, starts dating Darby later. In "The Winemaker's Woe", the episode focused on him, more black people also appear (his family and friends), including two queer girls. Lindsay Yip, Luke's new fiancee, is at least part Chinese (and played by a mixed race actress of Chinese and white parentage). | |

Mum Looks Like a Sister: Sarita, Victoria's literary agent, says Victoria looks more like the older sister of her daughter Darby than her mother. Darby just dismissively notes that Sarita's working for her so she's flattering Victoria, but other people think so too. They end up calling their detective partnership The Spencer Sisters because of this. | |

| The Spencer Sisters / int_c700e697 | comment |
Feminine Mother, Tomboyish Daughter: Victoria is highly feminine, with long hair, a demure manner and always dressing in flattering slacks with blouses or similar outfits. Darby, her daughter, has a slightly tomboyish look in contrast. While she also has long hair, Darby eschews more feminine outfits (like her mother wants her to wear), for shirts and jeans. She's also more bold and unladylike in her attitude. | |

Friend on the Force | |
| The Spencer Sisters / int_f005bd1c | comment |
Friend on the Force: Zane is an officer with the police force in Alder Bluffs, and Darby's old friend. After she's moved back there and starts investigating crimes along with her mother, Zane is helpful as he can arrest suspects they find evidence on along with his colleagues or provide other assistance. Subverted towards the end of the first season when he starts to resent Darby constantly asking him to risk his job to help her and cuts her off. | |

Locked Out of the Loop | |
| The Spencer Sisters / int_f06b07ff | comment |
Locked Out of the Loop: Darby has never read any of the Brynn Martell books, and thus has no idea that the series' recurring antagonist is based on her late dad, who was emotionally abusive towards her mother. | |
