Since his partner Clea went missing seven years ago, Michael Sleep's life has been on hold. But a mystical recipe in an old journal promises answers he’s been longing for.

Michael converts his shed into an alchemist's laboratory, but Clive is getting suspicious. Kacey invites Michael to the pub, where he says too much about his mysterious experiment.

Michael witnesses a crime and is questioned by the police. Meanwhile, Clive obsesses about a black rabbit, and Kacey visits Marvin Gardens and is shocked by what she sees.

Clive is seething when a truckload of steaming horse manure is dumped in front of Michael's house. Kacey comes round to help bury the jars and asks Michael about the hoarded boxes.

Strange things are happening in Marvin Gardens, and they're starting to attract unwanted attention. It's time for Kacey and Michael to exhume the prophets from their pile of manure.

The prophets are looking sick, Michael hasn't asked his questions, and all hell has broken loose in Marvin Gardens. It seems like the end of the line — or the start of a new adventure.
