Charlie wakes after a long unconsciousness. Mabel reveals he suffered the Heart Devouring Curse and that a jade pendant was the carrier; she smashed it, which freed him. General Lucas immediately demands whoever harmed a Lester be executed, heightening danger. Family members press for answers. The pendant is traced to Mrs. Lucas's mother, who supposedly gave it as a protective charm. Mabel insists her mother wouldn't hurt Charlie and suggests the pendant may have been tampered with. General Lucas orders the mother-in-law brought in for questioning; she is escorted in, and the pendant's true origin remains unresolved.
After Mabel saves his son, Mr. Lucas vows to protect her family and sends men to arrest the Lewis family for treason. He offers Mabel gold as a reward; she refuses, saying the money is dirty and would worsen her father's charge. Lucas admits he was misled by the Lewises' lies and urges her to take it. His son Hans agrees to let the past be water under the bridge if she accepts. Reluctantly Mabel takes the gold to safeguard her father — then Mrs. Jones arrives, leaving the household's fate and the Lewises' arrest in doubt.
At a public gathering, Mrs. Jones accuses Egbert of giving her son Charlie a pendant that "almost killed" him and demands answers.

Onlookers pressure Mrs. Jones to stand as she accuses Egbert of framing her and trying to kill her son. Egbert pleads for justice while the crowd judges. Someone steps forward and says, "If you're innocent, I can prove it," leaving the proof—and Egbert's guilt—unresolved.
During a tense household confrontation, a young woman who saved Charlie is accused and someone tells Mr. Lucas they used a truth charm on her. The charm forces the accused's mother to confess she traveled a thousand miles to hire a sorcerer and put the Heart Devouring Curse on Charlie.

Shock spreads as motive and the curse are exposed, leaving Charlie's condition and how the household will respond unresolved.
