At a public challenge, five-year-old Candy shocks adults by claiming she solved the True Dragon Strategy. Skeptical onlookers demand proof and Mr. Smith checks surveillance only to find the cameras down, so there is no way to confirm who did it. Simon escalates, threatening "I'll chop your fingers one by one" and boasting his sharp blade. Candy taunts him and even volunteers to lose a finger to force him to admit fear. Bystanders plead for restraint, and Lynn is told to play along. The episode ends with Simon poised to act and Candy's fate unresolved.
