Detailed Synopsis
The Host introduces Alexandre Dumas' story, The Resurrection of the Offland.
? walks down the steps of a cemetery and then comes across ? walking in the cemetery. He asks her for her pass and she tells him that she is just visiting and is looking for grave number 7. Offland Helton is sculpting a leg of Madam Offland when Fraser tells him Cagliostro is there to see him. Madam Offland suggest they take a break and Offland says he is afraid that he may not finish his work. Fraser tells him that Lillis Cagliostro is a miracle worker, but Offland worries Cagliostro is just a charlatan. Cagliostro takes samples from Offland and tells them that he died from the same thing that Offland is suffering from. He tells Fraser that he met one of his ancestors during the Third Crusade. He says that Offland is dying and asks if Offland and Madam Offland love each other. He continues that magic combined with science will help cure Offland. He tells them that he can bring Offland back to life, but only after he has been dead for one year. He says that for as many times as Madam Offland says his name after his death, that is the amount of days he shall live. Offland is then handed a potion by Cagliostro to drink and he dies. A year after Offland's death Madam Offland leaves an anniversary banner at his grave. Cagliostro goes to Offland's grave and wakes him up from the dead. Cagliostro gives him a pass to leave the graveyard and Offland shows it to before he leaves. Offland goes home to find his house empty, his sculptors broken and a Cleaning Lady tells him that Madam offland moved a while ago. He goes to Fraser's house and ? tells him that Fraser died while practicing fencing. ? then tells him that Madam Offland is getting married to Dowse. Offland goes to speak with Dowse who doesn't believe he is Offland. He shows him Offland's death certificate Offland hears Madam Offland speaking to Dowse and goes back to the Cemetery. He tells Cagliostro that no one needs him and Cagliostro tells him that Madam Offland said his name only once when she told the marriage bureau who she used to be married to. Offland then goes back inside his coffin. As ? is leaving she tells ? that she is lost. He tells her that he is dead and she faints.
