Synopsis for "The Doll's House (Part I)"

In his/her private Threshold in the Dreaming, Desire plots against her sibling Morpheus. She summons her twin sister Despair to her private gallery. She tells Despair about the coming of a dream vortex in the form of a young woman. The two decide to wait to see how things play out before intervening.

Meanwhile in the real world, Miranda Walker and her daughter Rose take a jet from the United States to England. At the airport, an agent ushers them into a limousine and drives them to the home of Miranda's alleged mother Unity Kincaid. Rose falls asleep in the back of the vehicle and has a dream.

In her dream, she sees Lucien the Librarian visiting the House of Secrets. Lucien concludes a census of all of the House's occupants. He reports this findings to Morpheus and tells him that four of the major arcana are still missing from the Dreaming: Brute and Glob, the Corinthian and Fiddler's Green.

The dream ends as the limosine pulls up to the manor. They are greeted by the dottering Unity Kincaid who reveals that she is actually Miranda's true birth mother. Miranda is incredulous at first, but before long, Unity convinces her of the truth. Rose wanders about the house and has a chance encounter with the Hecetae. They each speak in riddles that confuses Rose, but Mordred makes a point of warning her about the Corinthian and the coming of Morpheus. Rose tries to press them for more information but the strange sisters suddenly disappear. Rose returns to the room where Unity and Miranda are sitting. Miranda is in tears of joy as she accepts the truth about her mother. In the room is an intricately carved doll's house on a nightstand. A light in one of the house's upper windows flickers on, and a tiny representation of Morpheus peers outward and smiles at the three women. None of them are aware that he is watching them.

In Amarillo, Texas, the Corinthian, a sadistic nightmare entity captures a boy named Davy. He binds and gags him and tosses him into a bathtub at the Love Inn Motel. The Corinthian removes his sunglasses, unsheathes a large knife and tells Davy "It's playtime".
