In a crowded public place a woman tells the reserved heir she wants to marry him, provoking onlookers who laugh at his obvious embarrassment. He agrees only on a condition: she must prove her sincerity and worth by reclaiming everything she previously gave to Harold and return alive and uninjured. She accepts the task and asks for a token; he refuses. She declares she’s leaving to carry out the demand. He then orders they delay returning home and to stay in Yolham. The episode ends with her mission set and their postponed return, the outcome unresolved.
