Entering a mysterious trap door isn’t usually a great survival strategy, and the odds get worse when it’s hidden in a mausoleum. But investigating the lead often requires risks, and R Cell is used to making risky maneuvers…

(CW: Sirens 8:02 - 8:19)

The queasy stomachs just add another layer to the rising discomfort R Cell has with each new bit of information they uncover. It seems one very specific version of this script will be the key to unlocking any more answers, a version no one has a copy of. But some of the agents know where they might find the key to their key…

A truce with the unknown is never easy, if that’s even what just happened? What R Cell does know is that getting access to the mausoleum is now crucial to their continued investigations. Unfortunately, dead men tell no tales…and turns out that isn’t limited to pop-culture pirates.

It’s rare that R Cell has a subject matter expert to assist them, but as clues and “coinkydinks” pile up, maybe it’s never been more important. Lore and theory meet observation and reality head-to-head as the agents and the academic try to make sense out of what they’ve discovered, and make a plan for what they can do about it.

Past collides with the present as the investigation continues. A mysterious phone call leads Ross and Regan to someone with both a bizarre story connected to the theatre and an unexpected connection to a previous agent of R Cell. Meanwhile, River and Rowan try to connect the dots between three brothers who know too little of their own history, and too much of R Cell’s.

Indie theatre has a certain reputation for unusual concepts, but last night’s show seemed weird even by those standards. Still, a new day dawns, and now R Cell finds themselves looking for information someplace even more unsettling than the theatre…a place they had hoped to never visit again, lest they find themselves never leaving.

Compared to some investigations, R Cell has uncovered an unexpected wealth of information to add to the file. Though some of the team is still shaken from a glimpse of something they aren’t sure they were meant to see, there will certainly be time to ponder that after the comedy show. No late seating!

Reading may be R Cell’s most dangerous pastime, but it can still only get them so far in an investigation before the boots (and Regan’s sensible heels) need to hit the pavement. River and Ross head out to investigate a theatre which may or may not exist, while Rowan and Regan follow up on the contacts of the play’s enigmatic missing director.

A new year means a new mission, and this one is a far cry from R Cell’s usual fare. On the surface, a missing persons case hardly seems like it would be linked to the Unnatural, but the Agents know by now that anything can hide sinister supernatural secrets…even something as straightforward as a stage play.

This case is gonna be a little bit different for R Cell...this is a missing persons case...
