In this chilling introduction of an episode, Buddy and Sarah reunite after years of unfortunate separation at the behest of a mysterious benefactor. Their mission—plan and execute an extremely elaborate murder mystery party, to be held in just over a year at a Desert Mansion in the American Southwest.

Start at the beginning with our intrepid heroes as they discuss the implications of such a task, and contemplate the very real possibility that they may go mad in the process of completing it.
