Synopsis: Back in the Faerie realm Queen Titania takes particular notice of the necklace Morpheus gave Nuala, who remains determined to support Morpheus through these testing times.
Meanwhile Despair visits Morpheus showing him that Lyta is blaming him for Daniel's disappearance while Puck and Loki pretend to be detectives.
Despite the ever growing threat of the Fates for Morpheus, Lucienne tells him that as long as he is in The Dreaming, The Kindly Ones cannot harm him and she convinces him to enlist a mortal agent to help find Daniel. He asks Johanna Constantine for her help.
Elsewhere, Lyta is visited by The Kindly Ones who tell her that they will help her and Puck bonds with Daniel and is not happy when Loki says that he is a pawn.
As Johanna and Morpheus investigate Daniel's abduction they visit Unity's home where Alex Burgess remains in his eternal sleep and Lyta threatens to kill Morpheus if anything happens to Daniel. Johanna tries to calm things down telling Morpheus to make peace with his enemies and convinces him to go back to The Dreaming. Morpheus visits Hob who tells him the same thing.
Back in The Dreaming, Morpheus frees Alex and creates a new Corinthian to help Johanna.
Puck has a change of heart and almost gives back Daniel, but Loki catches him and convinces him not to do so. He puts Puck to sleep and puts Daniel in the fire, after which he tells Lyta her son is dead.
