Olivia finds Madame Natasha's wagon, and tells the seer that Zahn now knows about the vision of doom, and might come in asking questions himself. Natasha seems resigned to this already, not having expected the vision to stay secret for long … and fully expecting the gypsies to be blamed for whatever the outcome is.
Olivia also tries to find out more about Natasha's past such how she came into her powers and gets a glowering rebuff. Changing tracks, she asks about the finer details of spirits and their influence, and about the threat Zahn faces.
Natasha tells her it is a big, black force that wants Zahn dead, and from that Olivia tries to think of possible culprits but comes up blank. Natasha is surprised by this, since Olivia didn't add Natasha herself to the list of suspects, just because she's a gypsy. Olivia explains that there's no rational reason for Natasha to want Zahn dead.
Natasha tells Olivia about the Witch Hunters of the College Esoterica, and how 'rational reasons' don't fly with them or other narrow-minded people.
