A lowborn woman says she came to help Eloise take medicine but spilled it on Eloise's clothes and was slapped. Eloise calls her unfit and threatens to send her to the Court of Judicial Review, saying even execution would be lawful. Others warn Camila (Cam) is weak and might not survive that fate. The lowborn accepts punishment, claiming she has no family. Courtiers accuse Eloise of cruelty and jealousy for using her rank to suppress Cam. The episode closes when a marriage demand is flatly refused — "I'm not marrying you" — leaving the woman's fate and Eloise's next move unresolved.
