Ms. Shaw is confronted with a portrait by a man, likely Simon, who points out the uncanny resemblance between her and His Majesty's late beloved, Susan. The king himself arrives and remarks on the striking similarity. Ms. Shaw acknowledges the likeness internally, having imitated Susan in a past life, but her scrutiny reveals the portrait is poorly executed. She deduces it is a fake, implying Simon orchestrated this meeting using a forged image. The episode ends with her addressing the king, poised to expose the deception.
