What happened in the previous episode? Probably smart to link it as well.
Last time, the PCs hunted for information after a complicated skirmish between the Xanathar Guild and the Zhentarim. After helping the Xanathar fighters, they talked met the beholder's chief engineer Thorvin Twinbeard. He directed them to a regular series of gladiator games in Xanathar's lair, where they could talk to Xanathar's majordomo Ahmaergo.
Before heading out, Petunia & Ladro talked to Mirt, a mysterious benefactor in the opera boxes, about the Cassalanter family. Kaavu, Tom, & Tovarish talked to Davil Starsong (a mercenary) and Estele Rosznar (The Black Viper) about the family at the same time. Collectively they learned that other servants heard screams coming from the top of the Cassalanter Villa—not just the urchins. Finally, they learned that there is a secret door in the wine cellar. 
Now, the PCs have taken a boat beneath Waterdeep to Skullport, and are entering Xanathar's lair.
