After returning from the funeral of her late cousin Frederick, she and her parents go off to meet up with somebody to discuss what they get in Frederick's will.

When her parents go to bed, Irene climbs out the window and goes for a walk to clear her head. She witnesses a lady named Chelsea storm out of a house on her street, and later hears a bloodcurdling scream from afar.

She is then confronted by Jack the Ripper, who is about to murder her, but she is rescued by Sue Z. who electrocutes Jack the Ripper to death. Sue tells Irene all about magic, and all its dark corners like Bards and mages. ("Candlelight ")

Curious, she uses a blood map to track him down to a farm. When she reveals that she knows Vyder's name, Vyder points a gun at her and asks if she works for Roj Allans. Irene denies this, and shows a look of genuine shock when she learns that Sue Z. is dead. Irene reveals that she knows about magic, and says that she wants to help Vyder track down Roj, so that she can avenge Sue's death. ("Four Corpses and One to Come ")
