A concubine named Teresa interrupts the King, claiming the Queen tried to kill her and demanding justice. The Queen counters that Teresa's suicide attempt was a ploy for sympathy and accuses her of a violent assault. Their argument escalates when Teresa's son, the Prince, defends the Queen, leading Teresa to slap him for disrespect. She furiously reminds him she is his birth mother. Enraged by the King's perceived failure to protect her, Teresa threatens to die. The King, instead of placating her, coldly orders her execution. Teresa grabs a blade and attacks him, screaming insults. The episode ends with the King commanding guards to imprison Teresa in an abandoned palace indefinitely.
