They discover that Randy left his badge behind at the firehouse before going to the brewery. But the coroner finds another badge on Randy's body, leaving Death and Wren with more questions than answers. Desperate to know what really happened, Death and Wren begin to investigate.

Prying them loose could cost Death and Wren their lives.
