Willow reads Jack’s farewell written before his first battle and shows the daily prayers she kept for Jack and the Sable men. A woman tells her, "If the heavens won't protect the Sables, then I'll become the demon that will," turning grief into a vow of vengeance. Cassie prepares to leave with her brother—who's paid guards to ease her passage—and says she must live for the Sables and the child she carries. Friends urge Willow to keep a pure heart while a darker Mr. York comes to mind. A stranger demands, "Is this how you treat your savior, Ms. Sable?"
