Using the powers of the Witchblade, Sara finds Danny's grave just in time and pulls him from the abyss. And although Cristina is out of the picture, Irons is still determined to have the Witchblade at any cost. Sara, Danny and rookie Jake begin investigating a bizarre homicide case in which a customs agent is impaled by a strange, ancient weapon. Sara is stalked by Iron's henchman, Nottingham, and she confronts Irons about the murder. Later Irons uses the weapon - known as the Longinus Lance -- to cruelly murder associates he believes have double-crossed him. Meanwhile, suspecting that Irons' is indeed the culprit, Sara pays a visit to Gabriel Bowman of Talismaniac.com in order to research the strange murder weapon. Bowman, who deals in exotic artifacts and objects of power, fills Sara in on the history of the lance, which supposedly was used to ascertain Christ's death and is therefore extremely powerful - and deadly. He tells Sara that Irons' buyer had contacted him about attaining this weapon and that it had recently been stolen from a museum. Gabriel warns Sara that Irons will use the lance against her in order to attain the Witchblade. Ultimately, Sara accepts her destiny as a Witchblade Wielder and confronts Irons. In a battle to the death, she manages to best him and he throws himself on her sword, calling it a "sacrifice" and leaving Sara with blood on her hands. Nottingham witnesses his father's demise and vows to avenge his death.
