OR: Dance of the Dead
Though, in this case, it's probably less 'Thriller' and more 'The Safety Dance'.
There's a cavalcade of things to unpick here, including Alex's growing exasperation for the loss of Zolf, leaving the party almost rudderless, as it were. Bertie's purchasing skills are called into question again as the tank of little brain appears to have been bested by gnomes once more. And yet, may have inadvertently given a clue to Sasha's 'ailment'... that is if she can stop invading Bertie's personal space to do something about it. Hamid's new spell acquisition comes under some scrutiny and, given his insistence that he's a wizard, how will he come to terms with this? We also learn a thing or two about epithets, particularly when they come from a critical failure of knowledge.
And the party are venturing once more into the spaces beneath the city streets, which we all know goes swimmingly, for this team...

I love the outtakes from this episode. I remember it being hilarious at the time as well.

Bloody Nora, Sasha's UNDEAD??!!
Well, I suppose Mr Ceiling did say as much, but I hadn't quite made the connection between Sasha's "healing" and the mobile cadavers in Paris.
I guess walking it off may not be an option, then.

The mechanical corpses seemed to be walking it off quite nicely!

"the second that [the ring] is off [Bertie's] finger, you have no desire to own it" - so, this is the ring of buyer's remorse?

Given that Mr. Ceiling was made of mostly necromantic magic, I guess maybe we should have seen it coming that it would make Sasha undead rather than properly bringing her back to life.
(Which reminds me of a question I had during that arc. I think it was said specifically that Mr. Ceiling couldn't do magic. But then how was it rewriting people's memories? Most of the other stuff seems possible to rig up a mechanical option for, but remotely messing with people's minds seems like a magical thing. Especially since it was later un-done and the memories returned. Or were Our Heroes just mistaken in thinking it couldn't use magic?)
I did enjoy how, as soon as he realized they were going underground, Hamid made sure the party was actually PREPARED this time... mostly. I think they still might be missing an easy light source or anyone who can cast Light.
I'm also kind of impressed that despite a critical fail on the Knowledge: What's a Sorcerer? roll, Grizzop actually got closer than anybody has yet. He got the species wrong, but otherwise...

Hamid can now cast Dancing Lights, creating 4 floating torch style light sources.  |
