11. The Living and the Dead

Complete story — includes the ending

Mrs. Frederic, Pete, and Myka look for an artifact that can bring The Chinese Orchid back to life and stop the "sweating sickness" pandemic overtaking the world. They read about the Count of St. Germain who could bring withering flowers back to life. They track down a professor at Columbia University ( James Marsters ) who is the foremost expert on the Count and enlist his help in recovering the ring from the Catacombs of Paris. Artie has retreated into his mind, not wanting to come out of his coma and face the memory and act of killing Leena, although the dagger has destroyed Artie's Brother Adrian persona. Jane Lattimer uses Sigmund Freud 's desk clock to link Claudia and Steve with Artie's subconscious. Inside, they see that his mind is shutting down. Artie uses representations of Dr. Vanessa Calder and James MacPherson to get the pair out of his mind. Claudia eventually rescues Artie and brings him back from his catatonic state. The professor turns out to be the Count himself, now 519 years old. As Pete and Myka grab the ring from the tomb, the Count steals a diamond, triggering booby traps set by Marie Antoinette. A poison dart supposedly stabs the Count and kills him. Pete and Myka put the ring on the dead orchid, bring it back to life, and thus stopping the sweating sickness. Back in the tomb Charlotte Dupres claims that the professor is her husband of many centuries and realizes that the entire 'poison dart death scene' was a fake, one of many she ascribes to the Count, whom she seems to know very well.
