Something Wicked this way comes in the form of a villain from Mac's past who burned down his village and has come to Florence to force a girl into marriage.

Don't worry, Leonardo and the gang have the perfect plan to stop it! It involves a museum heist, fake paintings, a money laundering front and also Scottish alchemists?

Joining us this week to discuss heists, sad backstories and turning lead into gold is writer, swimmer, and dog trainer Alice. (@ruskagram)
