The Widow sends a nasty treat to Basil and friends, which sends Kashtinsky over the edge; the Botticelli sisters arrange for Verdi to have their portraits taken; Georges Rondeau, the prime suspect in the murders, preys on Regina.

The pressure gets to Israel, who admits to her and seven other involvements in Margaret's death; Kenneth secures the suspects, freeing only Israel to operate on a friend of Regina's - inadvertently putting her into the Widow's clutches.

With Kenneth's list of suspects either jailed or buried, he sets his sights on the sly magician Georges, who is slowly losing his grip on reality.

With the Widow's final victim nearly in her clutches, Kenneth's time is running out; however, upon revealing the killer's identity he grapples with how to bring justice to the victims.
