- The next morning, Madame Montoni is as determined as ever not to give up her property to her husband.
- While Madame Montoni recovers, Em has to go to dinner with a bunch of Montoni's new guests. She tries to dress simply, but Montoni makes her wear a flashy outfit.
- Dinner is a bust. All of Montoni's guests are wild-looking and scary, and all they want to talk about is war and politics.
- Montoni proposes a toast to the group and is about to drink when his wine hisses and the glass breaks into thousands of pieces. Someone's trying to poison him!
- Montoni declares a traitor in the midst, and everyone draws their swords. We're about to have another Inigo Montoya moment.
- Montoni orders anyone suspicious-looking to be chained in the dungeon. Nice guy.
- He's already pretty mad, so it's no surprise when he locks Em and Madame Montoni in a room by themselves. He still plans to send his wife to the east turret, BTW.
- Annette tries to get Em to open the door, not realizing that Montoni locked them in. She tells Em and Madame Montoni that it's total sword-fighting chaos in the castle.
- Montoni sends his thugs to take Madame Montoni to the east turret, leaving Em to faint out of fear on a couch. Good going, Em.
- When she wakes up, she tests the door to see if it's open. It is, so she wanders around the castle to see what's going on.
- Someone's bawling inside a locked room in the castle. It's the hysterical Annette.
- Looks like her sweetheart Ludovico locked her in to protect her from all the fighting and never came back. Em bails when she can't open the door. Sorry, Netters!
- Em is having some problems keeping it together, too. She's pretty sure Madame Montoni has been murdered. Scratch that, she's sure Madame Montoni has been murdered.
- Em hides in a corner as Montoni passes by. He might be a murderer, after all! She goes back to her room to freak out.
