When he returns, Eliza is tasked with helping Allen recover from the horrors he has experienced, and she dedicates herself to banishing the specters of his Russian captivity and restoring the sparkle in his eyes. As Allen recuperates, they realize danger has followed him back to England. Together, they set a trap for the man who tortured him, only to discover something far more menacing afoot.
