At a tense school gathering, classmates force Stella Lavette to speak—someone tells her to blink if she's being coerced—so she blurts, 'We're stuffed from dinner.' Peers mock, beg for food and promise favors; one insists, 'My dad owns this school' and vows to free her when help arrives. Hugh Walker and Finn are taunted; Finn is called a 'pathetic loser.' A system-style notice registers Stella's loyalty gain. An attacker vows revenge for earlier betrayal and threatens the dancer: 'I'll show her what a real meal looks like.' The episode ends with the dancer's safety unresolved.
