Finally Jesusita bugs the circus to discover how to reach her daughter. Cut to a faery circle on Hampstead Heath...and then to the Winter Court.

We open in the Jordanian desert overlooking the Dead Sea where the team are set to rescue a missing asset. There's goats, a box, a big bang, and a surprise, before they head to Amman in pursuit of a suspicious business woman.
