THE BEAUTIFUL 8 was Teppen's twenty-fourth expansion.
When Ena gets a stone precious to her stolen by Ramón Salazar to be sold in "The Dark Auction", she approaches Trish for help getting it back. Trish agrees, but because this is more than a one-woman job, she calls in a bunch of favors to form an entire heist crew to break in and retrieve the stone.
