After a tense rescue, a stubborn patient rejects her savior—"You think I care that you saved me?"—insisting she won't accept help even if her wound hurts. A messenger arrives with medicine the Young Marshal secured for Mrs. Garrison. A servant reveals the Marshal argued with his mother for her, that he controls Trivera, and that the Cloudmere General is maneuvering to replace him. Warned refusal could plunge Trivera into chaos, Mrs. Garrison agrees to treat him and takes the medicine. The episode closes with Donna Healy accused: "What did you do to Gloria again?", leaving a new threat unresolved.
