In Session 15 of "The Mummy's Curse," Lady Carnarvon expresses her intention to donate Tutankhamun's body and most tomb treasures to the British Museum while keeping some artefacts for Highclere. Arthur Conan Doyle persuades her to leave the body in Egypt, warning of a curse that could befall her if she remarries. Aidan sympathises with Evelyn's lack of freedom as her future seems predetermined.

Luna suspects a letter from her father is forged due to an uncharacteristic sign-off and mismatched ink blot.
