  50 – Call of Cthulhu: Clean Up on Aisle Three

  Bruno's return to Boston and subsequent debriefing leaves Agent Patterson with more questions than answers. Despite his claim that there are no secrets within the Department of Esoteric Relics and Parchment, a quick search of the team's desks shows that claim is not as ironclad as Patterson hopes.
  
  What happened, indeed...

  49 – Call of Cthulhu: The Sanest People Here

  Speaking of problems brewing in Boston...

  Phillip and Cookie have returned to the Boston office to interrogate Fionn, who made his play on the drive back from Arkham and failed miserably.

  Or undiagnosed.

  46 – Call of Cthulhu: Et tu, Bruno?

  Ash's exorcism from Cookie did more damage than the agents anticipated. Bereft of her oldest friend, her resolve begins to crack

  Fionn's ulterior motives begin to take shape, but Phillip seems to have motives all his own - both involving his teapot and not.

  And Bruno makes a decision that one simply doesn't walk back.

  45 – Call of Cthulhu: Tea Time

  Some time passes.  Bruno has a heart-to-spout with Ash.  Phillip and Fionn construct a cover story for their friend Charlotte, who does not return the sentiment - as sore as her face is. 

  Bruno misses the good old days.  Charlotte misses her friend.  Fionn misses his suit.  And Phillip misses his tea service...but found something else instead.

  And already fragile psyches fracture further.

  44 -Call of Cthulhu: Going Off The Rails

  There's no other explanation for it. Half the team is crazy, half of what's left is purely reactionary, and the remainder is holding a sentient teapot.

  But Phillip has a crazy idea.

  Phillip is right.
