Synopsis for the 1st Story

In the Hamptons, Dannette Boucher and Julie take Lisa to a BDSM party. In Central Park, Nottingham talks to Sara about their battle on Liberty Island and the massacre at the theater. She asks why she was kidnapped and about the brand on his hand but turns to find he has gone. In a TV news van, Becca reveals to Jake that Irons is 90 years old, Nottingham works for him, and they were behind the massacre at the theater. In Chelsea, Sara returns home to find an eviction notice on her door. A friend of Irons stops by, invites her to a charity event on his behalf, and gives her an expensive necklace to wear. McCarthy arrives to warn Sara about Irons just as she gets into a cab, and he decides to follow her. Soon, she arrives at the event wearing the necklace and an elegant gown, stunning the attendees with her beauty. Irons thanks her for coming and introduces her to her favorite actor, Michael Madsen. While they chat, McCarthy enters and confronts her with photos of Irons and Nottingham together. Incensed, Sara berates McCarthy, accuses him of stalking her, and storms off. After he leaves, Irons picks up one of the photos. He leaves with Sara, and they argue about the incident in his car. At the police station, Selzer taunts McCarthy about Sara. When Selzer mentions Irons, McCarthy realizes he knows something. Irons takes Sara back to his penthouse and yells at her for embarrassing him. As he scolds her, the Witchblade stirs and punctures her arm. Irons sees this, tells Sara it is punishing her, and informs a waiting Nottingham that she is ready for him.
