Episode opens with a plea: "Your Highness, will you avenge her?" He vows he will, wincing in pain. Gerald is checked on while Lea is urged to rest and reminded her wedding to Joel is next month. Joel, drunk, apologizes for yelling then clings to Lea, pleading "You're the only one I love" and insisting they will marry. Later the royal recalls childhood neglect and thanks the one who stayed by his side, then admits, "I think... I've fallen for her." The episode ends on that confession, unresolved and complicating the imminent marriage.
