- The baroness goes with Maria to her room to help her find something appropriate to wear to the party.
- She sneakily strikes up a convo with Maria about how she knows Maria's in love with the captain and she thinks he's in love with her, too.
- Maria looks horrified. She says she has to leave (presumably back to the abbey), if what the baroness is saying is true. She starts packing immediately.
- The baroness offers to help, and Maria just asks that she not tell the captain what they talked about. No problem.
