Yeah, this is why I prefer breaking into Hjerim to skip a few stages, as well as going to the mage and asking him about the amulet right after Viola accuses him. Then I can almost immediately proceed with killing Calixto. The only problem is that the amulet gets stuck in your inventory but I can always remove it with console commands.
