D'Eon tells the others that he received a vision of Maximilien, who seemed to need Lia's soul in order to reincarnate the Royal Psalms. Guercy and the Four Musketeers execute their plan to make copies of Wood's documents by hosting a dinner party at the French Embassy. Robin steals Wood's briefcase and replaces it with a false one while the latter is distracted by a mock duel being performed by Teillagory and one of Guercy's servants. Durand and Robin look through the papers, but Robin's hand is cursed by a spell cast on one of the papers in Wood's briefcase. Durand attempts to destroy the paper to no avail, and is about to resort to cutting Robin's hand off, but Lia breaks the spell from the other room.
