Though still heartbroken, Andrea finds herself putting the matter behind her the next morning as the group is brought in on their first case, which involves the strange disappearance of a wild boy along with the brutal deaths of two Hoffman agents. Discoveirng a strange purple powder on the windowsill and the abduction of another girl across town, the case quickly proves to be a complex one. While at a bookstore visiting an Occult expert, Andrea finds her answers-however-at the hands of a talking cat. Using riddles, he manages to convey to Andrea that the children are lost in the Realm of Fae, which only Evan will be able to find owing to his changeling nature. After leading them to a hedge in Central Park, the group travels to the mysteirous realm and quickly finds themselves on a course to Nerverland, where the children have apparently been taken.

Revealing herself to be the famous Tinkerbell, she is quickly attacked and subdued by Andrea after tricking her into believing that she had harmed Charlie. Though this quickly proves to have been an illusion, Andrea and her friends nonetheless declare war on Tinkerbell and Peter Pan both. With Andrea's suspicion that Peter Pan was actually an ancient changling, they had planned on subduing and capturing him, though matters took a turn once Chalrie believed that Peter Pan had murdered Andrea.

In spite of this, the group manages to rescue the kidnapped children and they begin to make their way back through the Realm. During the night, Charlie makes a startling confession to Andrea as he kisses her, prompting the two to become closer.
