After a street scuffle drives off Yusuf, Marilyn credits scrap collector with saving her and 'fixing' Dragon Sword. He refuses the name Master Lever, admits he only brute‑forced the blade—and the repair breaks on inspection, earning ridicule. With the forging contest tomorrow, Marilyn confesses she failed to guard Dad's forge and watched a master's life's work fall to thieves. They consider finding Flainn, the long‑missing smith who ruined their father but likely won't help. The scrap collector steps forward: "I can help you." The episode ends with their choice: trust him to fix the sword in one day.
