A commander and his soldiers investigate an empty cave, searching for their saintess Martha and a monster they hear panting nearby. Fearing Martha will be exiled if the monster harms her, the commander resolves to protect her. The group later finds Lady Ana safe, but she declares the 'freak' Martha must be exiled. The commander defends Martha, calling her a hero who stopped the beast while others fled. He orders Ana to be removed and banned from an upcoming trial, leaving Ana protesting the decision as the episode ends.
