One day she is pleasantly surprised by a visit from Lockwood, who tells her he needs a good Listener for a tough assignment.

They succeed in their very dangerous task, but tensions remain high between Lucy and the other agents. Even the skull in the jar talks to her like a jilted lover.

But, in a shocking cliffhanger ending, the team learns that someone has been manipulating them all along. . . .
