Season 2, Episode 4 of The Sandman "Brief Lives"

Episode teleplay by Austin Guzman

Episode directed by Jamie Childs

Synopsis: The youngest of the Endless, Delirium, unexpectedly pays a visit to her older brother Dream. She wants his help in finding their absent brother, Destruction. Reluctant at first, Dream agrees, secretly hoping to encounter Nada on Earth instead of his brother. Destruction is seen engaging in painting and poetry, accompanied by Barnabas, a talking dog, on a remote island. Dream and Delirium enlist Wanda, a transgender woman and employee of Dream's old friend, to help them track down Destruction's contacts. The first of them, however, dies just before they find him and Dream grows suspicious that an unknown force is preventing them from finding Destruction. Next, they seek Ishtar, an old god and Destruction's former lover who, depowered without worship, works as a club dancer. After a heated discussion with Dream, Ishtar performs a mesmerizing dance for her audience, but a sudden explosion kills everyone in the club including Ishtar and Wanda. With a hint from Desire, Delirium realises Dream was lying to her about wanting to find Destruction. 

Now knowing that all he wanted to do was track down his former lover Nada, Delirium leaves her siblings in anger.
