So, when another one of Kitty’s old flames, renowned film director Ernst Zapolya, calls Emma and tells her it’s imperative that he meet with Kitty that morning, she’s not surprised. Until, that is, he adds that lives depend on it.

What can have scared him so badly—and what on earth does Kitty have to do with it?
