Exhausted from finally piecing together the story of Orifice from his journals, Olivia is soon interrupted by a loud knock on the door of her wagon and Amelia demanding that, "I need your body!" After hiding the journals, Olivia lets Amy and Zahn and asks what's going on.

After being told about the underground workshop belonging too Abner Wingnut and the odd ghost-Skeek that wants to bed and behead him, along with seeing the photographs and ghost-in-the-bottle, Olivia is still uncertain about voluntarily being possessed by the Skeek so the others can interrogate it.

Olivia finally agrees to help on the condition that they go to Isolde or Natasha to make sure everything is done safely – and since they know Isolde won't help that leaves Natasha. They go to the gypsy camp and plead their case, which Natasha offers to help with so long as Amelia trains with her at least three days out of the week.

They all head down to the hidden workshop, and decide to set up in the bedroom. Natasha prepares a ward to force out the ghost if it proves troublesome, and Olivia 'drinks' it down from the bottle and passes out.
