Teleplay for this episode written by Jim Campolongo 

Morpheus tracks down Joanna Constantine to London where she is not only dubious about the existence of the Sandman, but must hurry to perform an exorcism on Royalty at the behest of Ric the Vic. As she begins her exorcism under the guise of marrying the Princess Royal to an average footballer she realises that she was right about the demon but wrong about the host as the demon Ageleith bursts out of his host Kevin the Footballer. 

She sends him back to Hell to the dismay of Morpheus who was looking for information on the demon who had purchased his Helm, but it is not a wasted journey to London as he requires the return of his pouch from Constantine. 

However, Constantine reveals that she left it with her ex-girlfriend, flat mate, lover….it’s complicated…after leaving her, without telling her…as I say it’s complicated! Both of them, along with an unwanted Raven named Matthew, head to Rachel’s apartment where they discover that she has been consumed by the world of dreams from the pouch of sand that is not meant for humans. 

Constantine is determined to cure her girlfriend, but Rachel is wasted away lying in her bed and it is only the pouch that is keeping her alive Morpheus tells Constantine. His reluctance to help end Rachel’s misery infuriates Constantine who questions the point of the Lord of Dreams. Seeing Constantine's guilt, coupled to the stings of her baiting and a lesson in humanity, Morpheus agrees to give Rachel a peaceful rest. With his pouch back Morpheus departs for Hell where Matthew, his Raven may be of some use. 

Meanwhile, Ethel Cripps, whose life has been prolonged by the Amulet of Protection, travels to an institution in Buffalo, New York, to warn her son John, that Morpheus is after them and his ruby. John’s dark obsession with Morpheus's ruby puts him at odds with his mother, who doesn’t reveal the location of the ruby but eventually passes the Amulet to John for his safety. 

On doing so she ages rapidly and dies. Longing to get his hands on the ruby, John then escapes the hospital using the Amulet to kill all who threaten his wellbeing. As he takes his first few tentative steps of freedom in the outside world he bumps into an unexpected nightmare!
