New York Police Department detective Sara Pezzini (series star Yancy Butler) brandishes the Witchblade, an intelligent, symbiotic weapon of incredible power that has existed since prehistoric times. She has turned back time and resurrected her murdered partners, Danny Woo (series star Will Yun Lee) and rookie Jake McCartey (series star David Chokahi). But her nemesis, Ian Nottingham (series star Eric Etebari), continues to pursue the source of Sara's strength. Sara relies on young historian Gabriel Bowman (series star John Hensley) for help in understanding the Witchblade. Sara and Danny Woo are once again in pursuit of the elusive mobster Tommy Gallo (recurring guest star Conrad Dunn). As before, Gallo's henchman lures Sara into the museum where she first encounters the Witchblade, and it claims her as its chosen wielder. This time, however, things are different.

Using the powers of the Witchblade, Sara finds where Danny is buried alive, barely in time to rescue him. Although Cristina (recurring guest star Marika Dominczyk) failed to defeat Sara, Irons remains determined to possess the Witchblade at any cost. Sara, Danny and rookie Jake investigate a bizarre homicide case involving a customs agent who was impaled by a strange, ancient weapon. Stalked by Irons' henchman, Nottingham, Sara suspects that Irons is responsible for the murder and confronts him. Later, Irons uses the weapon--known as the Longinus Lance--to cruelly murder associates he believes have double-crossed him. Meanwhile, Sara visits Gabriel, who deals in exotic artifacts and objects of power and operates a Web site called Talismaniac.com, in order to research the strange murder weapon. Gabriel informs Sara that the lance was supposedly used to ascertain Christ's death and is therefore extremely powerful and deadly.
