Linc and the gang had weeks of prep planned for their raid on Callista’s subterranean lair in England, but Icepick’s hunt for Dante — and his rousting Dillon Cantrell for information on the goblin’s whereabouts — meant the gang had to move up the schedule dramatically.
To break into Callista’s anemone-chamber vault, where she keeps a piece of her soul, the gang needs Mercutio, who has a key to that vault embedded in his heart. They know Mercutio is in Callista’s club, along with the fire-witch herself, Gariginald “Gary” Satyr, Bobby the minotaur, and hundreds of club-goers.
It’s time to get that key.

SLAY Episode 97: Proper Etiquette
Icepick is at Callista’s, hoping for an audience with her so he can ask about the tracksuit-wearing goblin Dante Oganov, who tried to have Callista killed back in SLAY Season One. But before Icepick can talk to the Queen of Fire, he'll have to get through her first line of defense — Gariginald “Gary” Satyr, the club’s highly efficient, slightly judgmental, and altogether snooty club manager.

SLAY Episode 96: Date Night
Lincoln and Dante have put together a team that can break into the underground fortress at Alnwick, where Callista keeps a piece of her soul and uses it to channel magical energy from a hideous anemone polyp farm. Dante is on the run from both Callista and the powerful mage Vestinian. Vestinian hired Icepick to see if Dante is in Lumencia, and to kill him if he’s there.
Following a hunch, Icepick went to Cordis and confronted Dillon Cantrell, who brought Lincoln and Dante together for this objective.
Is Icepick closing in?
And if he is, how does it affect the Alnwick caper?
