Synopsis for "warped notions pt1 - the Delicate Power of Terror"
John found a man named Arthur Shinbone in the middle of hysterical ramblings in his bed. He realized that Arthur had been having the same visions he had been having. Then, John attracted the ghost of Sir Francis Dashwood, founder of the Hellfire Club, and his companions Murnarr and Bona Dea. Dashwood dispelled the rumors about himself and the Hellfire Club, before addressing that another Hellfire Club had been committing atrocities in his name. He asked John for help, since he had been having visions. Constantine and Dashwood took a plane west to Philadelphia, the "direction of death." When they arrived, they saw a guard dog attack a baby.
