As the household packs for the Highness's departure to Bellaros, attendants list and crate the late empress dowager's zither—an honored gift the Highness decides to take. A dispute erupts when Eloise and Heidi both reach for the instrument; Ms. Lowe (Camila) is accused of dropping it. Staff insist she was careless and even claim "Ms. Lowe let go on purpose." An announcement then declares Camila Lowe broke the empress dowager's zither, calling it grave disrespect. Sarah orders, "Punish her." The episode ends with Camila facing immediate punishment and the departure thrown into doubt.
