Stairway to Heaven
Asher's mother, Emma, together with his (deceased) father Eliav, journey through heaven, encountering strange and terrifying angels. Emma crosses many thresholds, giving up Eliav and all she possesses to try to save Asher - but just as she passed the second gate, she heard a prophecy that there is a traitor in the Seven, and that Asher will die.
No Judge and No Justice
Asher has recovered from his fight with the dybbuk and is sitting in synagogue on Saturday morning, reflecting on everything he's seen and done. In particular, seeing how the Sitra Achra killed his father, while Virgo left him to his fate, makes Asher furious and he storms off into NYC, no longer caring if he breaks shabbes. He goes to see his old friend Dan Black, who advises him to get his life back in balance.
Spitting out the Demons
Virgo follows a trail of fleeing demons to find Asher in the Lower Temple, seeking answers - Mercury and Ostar have been captured and Asher wants to know where to find them. But Ashmedai, king of all demons, has a huge host of demons and is not happy to have had the peace of shabbat disturbed. Before they are captured, Virgo and Asher combine their powers and are able to escape.
Making Up
Back in the Palace of Understanding, Asher vents his anger and frustration but Virgo dismisses his feelings - they come to blows but end up in each others' arms...
What Lurks Below
Samael is trying to rouse Leviathan with the power of the captured Ostar and Mercury but it isn't working. Ashmedai expects his payment but it is not forthcoming, their mysterious Boss wants more - then the forces of the Sitra Achra also hear the prophecy that there is a traitor in the Seven and that Asher will die.
