Ep 11. Legacy of the Father

In the eleventh episode of Blood & Treasure season 1, titled "Legacy of the Father," the search for Cleopatra's sarcophagus leads Danny and Lexi to a shocking discovery. Earlier in the season, the duo discovered that Farouk, the main antagonist of the show, was searching for Cleopatra's sarcophagus because it contained a powerful explosive device. However, in this episode, they find out that there's much more to it than that.

While investigating a clue left by a former associate of Danny's father, they find themselves in an underground library that is part of the Vatican. They discover old documents that link the sarcophagus to a shadowy organization called the Ancients. According to the documents, the Ancients are a group of people who have been controlling the world's destiny for centuries. They believe that the sarcophagus has the power to make them immortal, and they will stop at nothing to get their hands on it.

Danny and Lexi manage to escape the Vatican with the documents and rejoin their team. They include Father Chuck, Hardwick, and Gwen. They all regroup and spend some time poring over the documents to learn more about the Ancients. They find out that the organization has been around since the time of the Crusades, and they wield a significant amount of power - they have influenced global events for centuries. With this new information, Danny and Lexi realize that they need to act fast before the Ancients get the sarcophagus.

The team decides to split up. Lexi and Gwen go to Venice to follow a lead about a possible meeting between Farouk and the Ancients, while Danny, Hardwick, and Father Chuck go to Egypt to gather more information about the sarcophagus's true power. In Venice, Lexi and Gwen attend a masquerade ball where they manage to sneak into a meeting between Farouk and the Ancients. They listen in on their conversation and learn that the Ancients are planning to create a new order and that the sarcophagus is integral to their plans.

Meanwhile, in Egypt, Danny, Hardwick, and Father Chuck discover that the sarcophagus has a hidden chamber that contains something called "The Book of Truth." According to legend, whoever possesses the book can control the world's destiny. Danny realizes that this is what the Ancients are after, and they need to stop them before it's too late.

The episode ends with Danny and Lexi reuniting with the rest of the team. They have a new plan to stop the Ancients from getting their hands on the sarcophagus and "The Book of Truth". However, they know that it won't be easy. They are up against an organization with centuries of influence and power, and they will stop at nothing to get what they want.

Overall, "Legacy of the Father" is an action-packed episode that keeps the viewers on the edge of their seats. It features a lot of exposition and reveals a significant amount of details about the overarching plot, including important information about the Ancients and their motivations. The episode sets up the finale nicely, and fans of the show will be excited to see how Danny and Lexi's mission to stop the Ancients plays out in the last episode.
