The Dresden Files is a fantasy/mystery television series based on the novels of the same name by Jim Butcher. The show follows the adventures of Harry Dresden, a wizard who works as a private investigator in Chicago, as he solves supernatural cases and battles various magical beings.
In season 1 episode 10, titled "What About Bob?", Harry is hired by a wealthy couple, the Malones, to investigate their son's death. Bob, the family's butler, tells Harry that the boy, Jack, had been experimenting with dark magic and accidentally summoned a demon that killed him. However, Harry soon discovers that there is more to the story than meets the eye, and that Bob may not be as innocent as he claims.
Meanwhile, Harry's friend and police lieutenant, Karrin Murphy, asks for his help in finding a missing girl. It turns out that the girl had been kidnapped by a group of werewolves who mistake her for their pack mate. Harry tracks down the werewolves and manages to rescue the girl, but not before getting bitten by one of the creatures.
As the episode progresses, Harry begins to experience the effects of the werewolf bite, which makes his already precarious situation with the White Council (a governing body of wizards) even more perilous. Adding to his troubles is the fact that Bob has stolen a powerful talisman from the Malones and is using it to blackmail Harry into helping him escape from his servitude as a spirit bound to a skull.
With time running out, Harry must use all of his magical abilities to solve both cases and protect himself from the various supernatural forces that are closing in on him. He enlists the help of his friend, the vampire Thomas, and his mentor, Ebenezar McCoy, to track down Bob and stop him from causing any more mischief.
In the end, Harry manages to save the day and resolves both cases, but not before discovering some shocking revelations about Bob's true nature and his own past. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats and eager to see what happens next.
Overall, "What About Bob?" is a thrilling and suspenseful episode that showcases the strengths of The Dresden Files' unique blend of fantasy and mystery. It has plenty of action, intrigue, and character development, and leaves the audience wanting more.
