Actually I had already decided after ruminating episodes 1-6 that the mastermind has to be Shannon, though I thought her tricks consisted of just disguise, intimidation, servant accomplices, and hostages. I couldn't explain any motive and didn't realise how she could have been using the "magic of gold" or who she was. So that prologue was quite spot-on, without this episode I'd be one of those inquisitors of heresy.
