After the events of Season 1, Philo (BLOOM) earns money in an underground fighting ring while Vignette (DELEVINGNE) is robbing a train with members of the black raven. After defeating a Trow, Philo reminds the ringmaster Boz Ghaidos of their deal. Vignette brings the spoils of their robbery, a substance called Anodyne, to an infirmary to ease the symptoms of Bás Dubh, an illness that befalls Pixies. Jonah Breakspear publicly executes the Puck of Cabals society and Mr. Millworthy tries and fails to get him to visit the Row. Sophie Longerbane overhears her party members plotting to overthrow her after her mourning period ends and she tries to prop Jonah up to secure their seats, but Jonah has doubts because of the execution. Mr. Millworthy visits the Row himself and talks to Philo who expresses to take the chancellors seat himself. Together they plot to publicize Philos pedigree at the state banquet the day after. Tourmaline visits the workshop of the old Haruspex and has a vision of Philo fighting the Darkasher. Vignette is initiated into The Black Raven, but is threatened by Dahlia for going behind her back. After meeting with Vignette, Tourmaline has another vision of the old Haruspex. Philo is suddenly escorted out of the row by the army and brought to a crime scene by Constable Berwick. Berwick accuses the Black Raven of killing a police officer and wants Philos help but is interrupted by Dombey who commands that Philo's be put back to the Row. Imogen has a nightmare of Ezra killing her and wakes up next to Agreus on the ship when suddenly they are approached by a Pact airship that signals them to follow.
