The last time we saw Winnie, a dead person named Paula was wiping Winnie's memory with a jab from her scorpion's tail. That should have been the end of having a nosy, teenage mortal girl wandering around Heaven where she didn't belong. Good luck with that. Winnie had caught teenageritis. If somebody told her that she couldn't do something, she did it anyway. In terms of her wiped memories, she had figured out a way to retrieve them, no matter how many times Lillian wiped them.

It was true that Lillian was not an enthusiastic Winnie fan. This was not personal. The prime directive under which Heaven and Hell operated was that humans could not learn that these entities existed. If the wrong person learned that Winnie had been in Heaven, and remembered the experience, Heaven would be in a lot of trouble. For this reason, Lillian arranged a truce with her.

In her persona as Molly Moonblossom, Winnie was allowed to search on Earth for Goodefellow's wife and family and she could use heavenly resources in her quest. In return, Winnie would help Arthur, who believed that Hell had snuck some under-feather devils into Heaven. Winnie proposed a simple strategy to reveal them. Drive the supposed devil suspects crazy. To do that, she and Arthur would have to be sneaky. It should have been easy-peasy except somebody in Heaven was sneakier.
