Summary:
With The Nomad ready to sail Bryn sets off to find Sinbad. On the dock she encounters a beautiful older woman, Mala, who warns her that Sinbad is in grave danger. Bryn hurries to get the others while Sinbad, unaware of the jeopardy he is in, catches sight of Maeve in the market square. He chases after and finds himself in a murky cavern where Scratch sits in residence. Scratch greets Sinbad and offers him a deal - if Sinbad comes over to the dark side he can have Maeve back. When Sinbad refuses Scratch points out that he's pretty close to being evil anyway. Scratch shows him images of all the people he has killed over the last year and a mirrored image of the bloodthirsty pirate Sinbad is fast becoming. Sinbad is shaken. Mala appears and offers to help Sinbad find Maeve.
The crew search the town for Sinbad and find only decaying ruins. Doubar is especially concerned because he seems to recognize Mala from Bryn's description. He knows Sinbad's life hangs in the balance. Firouz and Rongar find a doorway bearing a goat's head which they recognizes as Scratch's symbol. The crew charge through the doorway and fall down a dark abyss. They land in Scratch's domain and are trapped in a giant spider web. Sinbad and Mala travel down the tunnels of Scratch's domain searching for Maeve. They are attacked by seemingly immortal zombie creatures. When Sinbad's brute strength approach fails to deafeat the creatures Mala tells him to return to his old ways: to act first with the heart, then the head and lastly the sword.
Sinbad overcomes the monsters and he and Mala continue their journey. Scratch appears to Sinbad and tells him that he is holding the crew hostage. He has to choose between saving Maeve and saving them. The infuriated Sinbad watches helplessly as Scratch disappears. Mala calms him and tells him that he has the power to overcome Scratch if he will only realize the power of a good heart. Sinbad forms a plan. He finds Maeve chained in a cell. As he moves to rescue her he realizes that he has been tricked. The person he thought was Maeve is really a demonic harpy. The creature breaks free and attacks. Scratch sits gloating over the captured crew.
Recognizing Bryn, Scratch remarks how surprised he is that someone with her kind of “pedigree” would associate with do-gooders like Sinbad and his crew. Before the confused Bryn can question the devil's remark, he releases the giant spider that spun the web that holds the crew. Seconds later, Sinbad runs into the room. He outwits the harpy, causing it to strike the gigantic spider. Both combust upon collision. Scratch then informs Sinbad that the only way he can save his crew is to sacrifice his soul to him.
When Sinbad accepts the devil’s proposal, Mala informs Sinbad and his crew that they are free to leave since Scratch can’t claim a “pure” soul, which Sinbad still possesses because he was willing to save his crew over his own life. Scratch tries to stop Sinbad and his crew from leaving, but Mala gives her own life to a llow them a chance to escape. Later, Mala appears to Doubar and reveals that she is Sinbad’s and his mother. Although she died years ago, Mala had to return and help her son when he needed her help the most. Before she leaves, Mala asks Doubar to give Sinbad a hug for “luck”. Doubar complies.
