A scent of Bliss Powder triggers alarm — "Oh no! It's Bliss Powder." A woman murmurs, "Do not fear. I will be gentle." Physician Shaw returns wounded, explaining he was heavily hurt and fainted in the Imperial Garden and only returned this morning. He insists on examining Her Majesty, but courtiers complain he's aloof. A courtier tells Her Majesty a bold female intruder claimed to be "a woman of Extreme Cold," seduced, drugged and "defiled" her. The episode closes with Shaw ready to examine while the alleged assault and the queen's condition remain unresolved.
