    The moment Ava Harper-Walker and Drew return from their honeymoon, they have to rush off to battle a raging sea monster that escaped from Hell. And of course, Luci is nowhere to be found. He's presumably searching for the last escapees, who continue to elude him. 
     
     
     
    But hey, it's okay. Ava's got this. She gets the disgusting sea monster—slime tentacles, ew—back to its fiery prison, then returns home to find the Vikings have come to call. They want Alfred, and they want him bad. 
     
     
     
    Over Ava's dead body.

    The truth stone aids in the search, but Ava begins to doubt even that as everyone who has ever met Alfred becomes a suspect. 
     
     
     
    Not to mention Winnie. As Alfred's main squeeze, Aunt Winnie is losing it. And that is putting it mildly. 
     
     
     
    When Winnie begins giving their family and friends the skeptical side-eye, Ava knows she's got to find Alfred and fast. Not just for his safety, but for the safety of anyone who crosses Winnie's path.

    A "Blue Carbuncle" is stolen from a hotel suite, and a former felon is soon arrested. However, an acquaintance of Holmes discovers the carbuncle in the throat of a Christmas goose. Holmes traces the owner of the goose, but soon determines that he was not the thief by offering him a replacement goose. The detective continues his search, first to an inn and then a dealer in Covent Garden. The dealer refuses to provide Holmes with information about the source of the goose, but Holmes observes another man trying to find the same information, and confronts him. The man, the head attendant at the hotel, confesses to his crime. Holmes allows him to remain free, arguing that prison could make him a hardened criminal later.
