## Plot

In the city of St George's, there had been terror due to the legend of Cobra creature though we know it was Cobras Azuis das Ruas pulling the strings. Back at the station, Manuel was fixing his hair while Floramaria calls him inside saying she fears the worst for Braxton after all he went through, though we were gonna find Rüdiger and face him off. Manuel assured the chief that Braxton will go through this, while we decide to take a stroll, Manuel grabs an apple juice and nearly choked when Guillermo called us, telling his sister has been murdered in a changing room of a shop, we decide to head to the shop, where Guillermo tells he found the body of his sister Marianne Federico murdered, and the women had found her in this condition. So we send the body for autopsy, and we debrief Guillermo about it, he says that Cobra creature probably has cursed them, saying that it probably wants to kill him, we ask him if anything was bothering to Marianne, but he says it wasn’t, though it was Raymond who constantly tried to meet up with her, because Guillermo and Raymond knew each other. So we decide to interrogate Raymond, who happened to be in Grenada due to "business meeting", we tend to debrief him. He starts to sweat saying that Cobra creature had been bothering him and that snow creature too, we ask him if he is well versed on the snow monster, but he disagrees and says he isn’t. Manuel says that this snow monster thing is probably a hoax, we later get approached by Antonella who worked on the behalf of Braxton, until he recovered, she tells us that someone is again using the Time Machine and it’s probably Rüdiger and the Cobra creature.

After that, we proceed to find more clues related to Marianne's murder, while going through her we found out that Samantha Dwayne, the famous tango dancer had appointed therapy from Marianne, so we interrogate her if she knew anything that happened with them. Samantha says that she is in deep depression and couldn’t keep with her career saying she is hallucinating, and she doesn’t feel hunger, and feels discomfort, so she had contacted Marianne, who was quite well known for healing her patients, so she decided to take up appointment from her but her life is probably cursed. While we go to the take body's result, Jacques tells us that Marianne died by asphyxiation, but he also marks that someone really broke her neck while doing that, suggesting it might not be a human, though we don’t know. Later, Froy comes to us saying that he recently heard about the murder way and he could corroborate on that, he tells us that there lived a witch in 1930s who murdered people just like the way Marianne was, Manuel later holds his head and says "I swear my abs would disappear after realising we are dealing with another time traveller", though Froy tells us that it might be just a coincidence, that someone like stealing the legends of Cobra Creature, snow monster would have used this too. While the whole thing happened, Carla appears telling us that Braxton is not well, saying that Rüdiger is gonna abuse him, because he touched him inappropriately, Manuel says that he feels broken. At the precinct, we were discussing details, Amaya approaches us saying Maurice is suspicious.

Mid-investigation, Amaya says that Maurice is suspicious and probably still is linked to Cobras Azuis considering he decided to save Rüdiger from getting arrested though this was suspicious, Manuel says he would be mad if Maurice is still at the bad side. While we debrief him, he mentions that Rüdiger was forcing him to join back, and he kept forcing him, but he doesn’t know what to do, he even found out that he had bad intentions about Marianne, saying that he would fool Guillermo and murder because apparently he was one, but Maurice says he is innocent and wants to escape from the madness of his old self saying that he was brainwashed by them, Manuel throws him in custody until further notice. After that, Carla appears again saying Braxton has something to say, so we visit him and he was still frightened but he had enough courage to say that Rüdiger was planning something sinister for them, and kept touching him inappropriately saying he will do this to everyone, though he claimed other reasons too, Braxton says "I don’t know if they are gonna do that", but Manuel assures him he is in safe hands for now. Later Floramaria says that she is afraid of the worst saying we have so many creatures like Cobra creature, snow monster and probably now the witch from 1920s who probably killed Marianne. Amaya later tells us that the famous Philomena Larson is protesting against the victim, defaming her and calling her names so good old us call Philomena over and ask her about the shenanigans she is causing. She tells us that everything is a hoax, saying that Cobras Azuis is manipulating everyone, she says that Marianne was killing her patients rather than healing them, Manuel says she probably is high on crack.

After we talk to Philomena, we get some message from someone possibly Rüdiger because he was ugly cuck anyways, in that message he warned us about the apocalypse, the only thing Manuel mentioned was "Maybe the apocalypse your father did inside your mother nine months before shouldn’t have happened", while that Rüdiger stops. Later we hear from Froy that he heard that Guillermo wanted to sue his sister for causing problems in his life so we decide to ask Guillermo what really is happening with him. When we debrief him, he says that Marianne was in relationship with Raymond and actually had married him, and he and Raymond and unyielding enemies and he wouldn’t want his sister to be associated with someone like him, and recently Raymond was causing several problems for them and he decided to sue his sister because that’s what he deemed appropriate. After we talk to Guillermo, we decide to talk to Raymond about hiding his entire life from us. When we debrief him about that, Raymond says he couldn’t disclose about his private life to them saying it, but he says that Guillermo is a liar who is probably betraying us. After that, Amaya was found quarrelling with Lovisa, we ask her what was this about, and she says that she found Felix kissing some girl, though he came in clearance that Amaya wasn’t interested for now. At the precinct, we were discussing details, Antonella comes to us saying she found something about Pavati that might be related to the case

Mid investigation, Antonella tells us that this case might be related to Pavati, she tells us that the Amozocs infamously were family of witches from the time the English settled in the Americas, but they only went into industries into 1930s, but she hints that it might just be a coincidence. Manuel was shocked saying how can someone like Pavati be family of witches. Now we had a witch had hand, we decide to learn some spells maybe that will help us. We see Lovisa with the spells books and ask her if she could tell us, she says "Say "Ho un cazzo piccolo", that would save you from the spell of hers", while saying that she laughs off saying. While Manuel keeps revising that sentence, Froy listens to that and cackles up and says "Thankfully you too", while Manuel asks what is rambling on about, Froy says what he said meant "I have a small cock", and then Manuel makes a disgusted face and says that Lovisa tricked him, but then we find out that Philomena actually had helped Marianne, while apologising for her behaviour to her. We ask Philomena about that apology she had send, she says that she might have misunderstood Marianne, saying she was actually healing her and now things were going right with her family but one thing she noticed about her that she was always telling her about her husband, saying he isn’t something she says, but Philomena says that she even told her about some witch sighting saying she might be haunted by them. We later proceed to find clues for the killer.

In the end, we had enough evidence to incriminate Samantha Dwayne for the murder. Upon admitting, she unveils herself as a witch, revealing her name as Esmeralda Luisa Amozoc, she says that she is from 1926, and travelled here due to her alliance with Cobra creature and snow monster, she said she was brought here so she could force people into the cult by dancing with them, but the real reason she killed Marianne is that because she was the members of the Federico, who had been in all time clash with Cobras Azuis, she tells us that there would be an apocalypse soon even, but she explains that the reason why she killed Marianne was because she was diving deep into Cobras Azuis, saying that during their therapy sessions, she would often talk about that how Cobras Azuis had been bothering them, saying that she and her brother made a organisation to defeat them, though she continued to go to her therapies to gather more information for Cobras Azuis, she says that Marianne was too dumb to realise the fact she was actually a witch working for Cobras Azuis, furthermore she tells us that she had found out that she was a witch and wanted to get her killed, she said that when she found out about that, she decided to kill her because if she stayed alive she probably would have found about their sinister plan for the world, because that plan is secret and we will see what it is when the time comes, that’s why she killed her while she was in a clothes shop and no one suspected because she disappeared after doing the deed.

Esmeralda disappears following the confession, though now we were puzzled that if she was somehow related to Pavati, so we decide to find her and ask her about Esmeralda if she was somehow related to her, she says that she is her great grandmother and the most famous witch of her family, we ask her if she is a witch but she says she maybe but it shouldn’t concern us. Later we talk to Floramaria that know we have a witch at hand, and we should see maybe an exorcist to maybe save us from the spell of them, though Manuel wanted to see Lovisa for the prank she had done. Later we find out Philomena chanting some spells and saying "Domine, salvum me fac a malo", Manuel asks her what is she rambling on about, she tells us that she is asking from resistance from witches saying they should be burn at the stake like back. Though Manuel says if it really helped to resist the witches. After that, we see Froy dancing with Melanie, that resembled somewhat like a romantic one, though Froy stops following while we hear a scream from Braxton's lab, particularly of Carla so we run there and we see Rüdiger with red eyes which spewed laser, Carla grabs Braxton but he flashes Rüdiger with another higher laser but Rüdiger disappears in the thin air again and leaves a note being said "If you think that was a lot, that’s not what have you seen, not even the old enemies can come close", Froy then chants some spell and something weird happens, the sky turns green and some weird thing appears "Defeat the king", and sky turns blue again, Froy says that to defeat the witch and probably the snow monster we should dig deeper into their dark history.

Manuel then decides to ask Maurice about his changed attitude and possibly his affiliation with Cobras Azuis, though he didn’t look good, Manuel asks if he was and at the same time he faints and but is saved by Manuel, and we rush him to the hospital. Later Amaya says that Maurice looked horrific and very sick, she feels that something is wrong with him, and she is worried, later we decide to pay a visit to Rafael who was working on something, we ask him what he was making, he innocently replies "Omg Amaya I am making a Time Machine so I could meet my parents", Amaya feels sad and asks what he thinks of them, he glows and says "Brax told me my father was a icon, very brave and very handsome and says I took my looks from him", Amaya then pats his shoulder and says "You will day, maybe seventy years from today". After that we see Floramaria and Pavati arguing over something, we ask what this commotion is about, she says that Pavati reveals herself as a witch, though she was according to her a good one and she basically never used witchcraft because her real job is more easy, though there was another concerning thing about we should know about particularly Philomena. Pavati reveals to us that Philomena was once tried in court for "resurrecting the dead or the Cobra creature", though she never proved guilty or heresy. Surprised on this, we ask Philomena who disappeared from the station, and a note was left by Snow Monster "If you breath fire, I breath snow, maybe a fist fighting would solve this, we took this girl maybe as part of experiment, see you in Saint Kitts and Nevis", Amaya fears the worst saying someone took Philomena. Antonella later comes saying she saw some weird creature on the TV, we ask her, she says she someone with red skin claiming the apocalypse is soon, while mentioning the names of the famous Amanda Mackay. Now we were surprised what exactly is happening every day and would we able to defeat the evil with all this supernatural drama. Later Manuel and Maurice come back and Manuel looked down but Maurice showed no sign of sadness, when he goes, we ask Manuel what he is so stressed up about, he says that doctors are saying that there is chance that Maurice has lung cancer, but it’s difficult to say since he doesn’t show all of the symptoms but this is just bothering him, while we saying that Floramaria tells us to drop things because there has been a catastrophic attack in Saint Kitts and Nevis and we should head there.
