Carson Inez (Claudia Christian), a relic collector, brings Sydney under her control by an ancient Greek necklace with magical powers. Carson intends to find a statue of the goddess Athena, believing that she can actually evoke the goddess herself. Sydney's will is strong, but she can't resist the power of the necklace and has to follow Carson's orders. Nigel suspects there is something wrong when Sydney leaves just like that for a Greek island with an active volcano, especially since Sydney despises private collectors and normally works only for museums. Karen and Nigel are looking for clues, trying to find out what is going on.
Good story with an unusual premise, because this time Sydney has to do a relic hunt against her own will.
