Through the Puppet's Tears, I Loved You - Episode 8

The episode opens with a frantic warning—someone cries that continuing will get someone killed; the other flees, whispering "They can't see this." A caller then demands attendance at Cindy's birthday so the recipient will publicly give a gift, clear circulating rumors, and "make up for what you did to her," forcing them to pretend everything's fine. Later, at a formal moment a person addresses "Your Highness" and asks, "Will you marry me?" He accepts. The closing beat orders, "Pass him this letter when you can," leaving a secret message poised to upend the staged apology and new engagement.
