This episode begins with the closing scene of Ferals and Reapers, with Leonie, Alex, Leopold, Thomas and 42 in the hotel, with Wanda Armstrong, who happens to be pregnant with some kind of Hell Spawn. Before things began, Alex brought in the back up he had managed to organize during the last episode, Inuzuka Kiba, a wolf totem warrior from The Defeat of Marcus. Before much discussion can begin, 42 tried to stab Wanda in the arm with his claws. For his trouble he is flung across the room and turns a bright sky blue. Leopold, Thomas and Kiba decide to go and do some research at the University Library. On the way, they encounter a couple of people who have had their emotions boosted by a demon of some kind. When the police failed to stop them, Thomas and Kiba knocked the couple out, at which point the couple combusted. Thomas and Kiba then looked at the bodies, Thomas found a card for a café called The Hive Arcana. Kiba noted that a portion of the stomach was not burnt, in the same shape as the Mark of the Nightstalker. They continued to the library, while back at the hotel, Leonie had re-solidified, and quick donned some clothing, and a few moments later 42 returned to his normal hue. He then attempted to throw a knife at Wanda, which vanished in the air, knocked 42 across the room, and turns him into a black-furred kitten, with a stunningly deep voice. Leopold spends the next 12 hours researching spells, broken only by about 6 hours in which time he sleeps. Thomas and Kiba, meanwhile research the Black Sorcerer, the Demonic Child, Ascension and the Enhanced Nightstalker. They then split up, and Kiba returns to the hotel, while Thomas investigates The Hive Arcana.

Leonie finds the kitten-42, and throws him out of the window, and he goes exploring Pittsburgh. Meanwhile Thomas arrives at The Hive, and is bumped into by two males who are hurriedly leaving. He gets a vision from the Powers when the second bumps into him, a city somewhere in Germany, whose entire population disappears overnight, leaving just one male survivor. When he enters the Hive, he notices Anita, and is greeted by Cyan, who chats with him for a little while, telling him about the couple and the Black Sorcerer. After about 5 minutes, the Enhanced Nightstalker enters The Hive, and blasts Anita and Cyan with fire. Alex summons Leonie and Kiba from the hotel, using a portal, and then checks Anita and Cyan. Thomas attempts to attack the Enhanced Nightstalker, but is stopped by the anti-violence spell cast on The Hive. After three times attempting to remove the Enhanced Nightstalker from the establishment, Alex uses Telekinesis to throw him through the door. Leonie and Thomas work together to remove the Enhanced Nightstalker’s Chainsaw arm. Leonie then used the chainsaw to remove the Enhanced Nightstalker’s head. Thomas is then pounced upon by the two Nightstalkers, who were watching the group, Thomas used their own momentum to flip them at Leonie who blocked their flight with the Chainsaw, unfortunately ruining yet another outfit. Kitten-42 arrived, and healed Anita and Cyan, after Alex reversed the spell that had turned him into an animal. Cyan showed Leonie to the employee showers, and lent her a change of clothes.

The following day, Wanda looks about 4 months pregnant, and the group begin to panic. Thomas thinks that Wanda herself maybe able to cause harm herself, and hands her a knife, which she uses to stab herself, which causes a small explosion. When the smoke clears a rather perturbed squirrel stands on the floor. Alex is summoned and he reverses the spell, before popping back to the death realms to continue his research. Thomas then suggests that Wanda leap from the roof of the hotel and see what happens. When the smoke clear, Thomas, 42 and Kiba are replaced with a squirrel, a cat and a dog. Leonie meanwhile is an interesting shade of blue. Alex is once again called, and the spell is reversed, unfortunately Leonie stayed blue, it seems that needs to wear off on its own. Alex likes the suggestion of taking Wanda to the hospital to have a look at the baby.

Leonie grabbed a long coat, and a hat, and the group made their way to the hospital. On the way they were attacked by some demon hunters who had been rage enhanced to a degree a lot further then anyone had been before. After about 10 seconds of fighting, a portal opened below Wanda and the final enhanced person. Alex returned with a list of the items needed for the Ascension, and the location of the final item. Alex used a portal to teleport the group to the British Museum. Moving swiftly, Leonie charged head first into a Taint barrier, causing her to gain a cat-like tail and ears. The Black Sorcerer blasted a hole in the wall of the corridor and revealed that had the kidnapped Wanda, and Leopold made the ultimate sacrifice, channelling all of the Taint away from The Black Sorcerer, and into himself, horribly mutating himself beyond anything remotely human. As the Taint inside him began to mix with the Essence, causing him to bulge, Alex opened a portal as far away as he could manage. Somewhere in orbit what remained of Leopold exploded, allowing his soul to finally move on, where he was reunited with his dead wife. Thomas, and Kiba, noted that while Wanda was still pregnant but no longer Tainted. They also saw that the Tainted Barrier had fallen, and they could get on into the exhibit.

Leonie, Thomas, 42, Kiba and Alex confront Brigit, Thomas suggesting that Alex opens a portal under her, keeping her away from the sword while he tried to break it. Unfortunately, being more skilled at opening portals, Brigit just fell back into the room, where Alex opened another and this continued for a short time, until a portal opened above Thomas, and Brigit is stabbed with the sword, finishing the Ascension ritual. Alex is forced to retreat due to the build up of Taint in the area, as Brigit grows to fill nearly the whole room. Thomas attempts to punch his claws into her, but unfortunately missing any vital regions, while 42 leapt down from the ceiling and used his powers to channel some essence into Brigit, causing a minor explosion, which 42 deftly jumped away from. Kiba leapt to the balcony and grabbed a hold of the sword that still emerged from Brigit’s side, creating a rather large wound. Leonie attempted to use the Chainsaw from the Nightstalker to attack her, which she unfortunately lost control of causing herself more damage then she did to Brigit, causing her to lapse into near unconsciousness. Thomas then went all out, and while he missed her vital organs, he killed Brigit, causing her to dissolve, leaving a sort of blobby residue on the floor.
