Discovering Steve's last message, Myka and Pete fly to Hong Kong where they find Walter Sykes forcing H.G. Wells to solve an ancient and deadly puzzle linked to a chess set inside the long-disused Ancient Sanctum of the Regents. This "lock," devised by Caturanga (H.G.'s Warehouse mentor), blocks access to a gateway that Walter plans to use to regain Collodi's Bracelet and reach his final objective. Meanwhile, Marcus Diamond attacks Leena to use artifacts in aid of Walter's scheme, but not if Claudia and Mrs. Frederic can prevent it.
