Plot summary

Pandora gives a cursed knife to a troubled man, causing him to seek out and murder those he hates. Ichabod recalls a similar incident during his studies at Eton College in 1763, and identifies the knife as having once been used by Jack the Ripper. His research indicates that the knife itself has been linked to countless murders throughout history. As each wave of murders stopped amid a sudden outbreak of disease, the Witnesses realize that the curse can be broken by infecting the wielder. When an attempt to infect the man with malaria -tainted blood fails, Ichabod infects himself and uses his own blood to defeat the killer. Unbeknownst to them, Pandora collects Abbie's fear and uses it to fertilize her tree, causing a third flower to bloom on its branches.
