"ALEXANDRA.": EPISODE 0: "ALEXANDRA'S VATICAN ASSIGNMENT."

"In August 1978AD Rome elected its new Pope, John Paul I. The former cardinal was immediately well liked and accepted by Catholics everywhere. But just 33 days later the new Pope was dead. His sudden death was announced as a heart attack, but few knew about the little party held just before his death and a certain game of Planchette played at midnight. Jericho is on scene because the timeline has changed dramatically; the Pope still lives because he heeded the message from the ‘other side’. Jericho needs – urgently – to restore the timeline. Alex is undercover as a nurse in the private Papal quarters and finds that priests like to party and most have no idea what celibacy is!"
