In "March of the Mummies," ancient horrors rise at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, spilling into the streets of New York as they march toward Central Park—where Jo is studying.

In "Judgment Day," Osiris, the Egyptian god of the afterlife, halts the sun’s rise in a desperate quest to find the mortal who escaped Anubis’s judgment.
