Ep. 7: The Bill Comes Due

Himmler’s Ambitions

Tesla, along with Selene and his commandos, devises a plan to stop Himmler from acquiring a powerful relic that could cement Nazi dominance. However, Himmler has an even more insidious objective: using Die Glocke, a bell-shaped time-travel device, to jump into the future and abduct a nuclear physicist from a 1942 German bomb test site. Warned by his informant Hank, Tesla activates the coil to follow Himmler into the future. In the midst of an atomic bomb detonation, Tesla uses the damaged coil to shield himself from the blast and successfully prevents the Nazis from kidnapping the scientist. Despite his victory, Tesla is left puzzled by how the damaged coil functioned so flawlessly.

Meanwhile, Selene, a demon-succubus, discovers she has been blacklisted by several universities, hindering her career as a professor. Inspired by Tesla’s idea to form an intellectual association that would metaphorically "feed" her, she begins to explore the possibility of creating a new path. She subtly hints at the potential for a deeper romantic connection with Tesla, one grounded in their shared intellectual bond.

Complicating matters, Tesla faces a lawsuit accusing him of having sold the rights to the coil. To make things worse, the demons who restored the coil approach Faustus, seeking to collect on his centuries-old pact with Mephistopheles, raising the stakes as Tesla juggles both legal and supernatural threats.
