Steed has a nightmare about a fellow agent dying and it comes true. Mrs Peel decides he needs a break and whisks him away to a Dickensian Christmas Party in the country but they discover they have both been hypnotised by some sort of telepathic control into coming to the party, and someone is after Steed's secrets.
A mysterious psychic tries to break Steed's resolve but Emma's intervention, and some very loud Christmas carols, keep their minds clear.
Steed is a little vulnerable as someone is drugging him. He gets off nightmares. The mystery is quite good - the rapport between Mrs Peel is quite tender here. There's the usual bizarreness but the story is quite strong. A shoot-out in a hall of mirrors is quite exciting. There's a little nod to Cathy Gale ( Honor Blackman) when Steed says "What can she be doing in Fort Knox?" It refers to Honor starring in Goldfinger.
