Violet arranges for everyone to draw lots, pair off, and participate in a late-night test of courage, visiting all of the most haunted spots in the College. Jasmine even recovers enough to join the fun, while the pairings allow for some interesting one-on-one conversations with various characters.
Lucy makes sure she’s paired up with Zoe, as the only reason she’s participating is because Chise asked her. While this is ostensibly a way to make other friends, Lucy prefers to stick with their circle, hence being with Zoe. Chise ends up with Veronica, and wastes no time asking about Philomena.
Veronica assumes that Chise wants her to order the Sergeants to lay off of Philomena, but it’s not that simple. Veronica looks back to when she first met Philomena. Someone poisoned Veronica’s food on her birthday, and Philomena, who tasted it, experiences the horrible effects.
Veronica is shuffled off for her own safety, but when she learns Philomena survived, she orders Lizbeth to allow her to be her attendant. Even though Philomena considered herself a failure, Veronica not only insisted, she also did her hair with her ribbon.
While the Rickenbachers get to order the Sergeants around the bottom line is that both Veronica and Philomena are trapped in the cages of their family obligations, devoid of free will. By selecting Philomena, Veronica was able to control something, while also giving Philomena a “nicer cage.”
Veronica asks Chise why she’s so insistent on sticking her nose in the affairs of a tiny little world she has no connection with, and Chise can’t give an answer, but Veronica should already know: like her, Chise simply likes Philomena, and doesn’t want her to to suffer needlessly.
Rian gets paired with Violet, who tries to get him to see the error of his ways after he lashed out at Philomena. Violet, who likes to cross-dress, has fallen out of favor with his family, while Jasmine has been dressing and acting more masculine to compensate, as if meaning to switch places with him.
Rian may think things are clear cut, but that’s only natural considering he was taught and born with everything. Some weren’t born so lucky, like Philomena. The haunted place they happen to be in is where there’s a mirror that takes on one’s form when you answer its call, but Rian sees a younger Philomena in it.
Isaac, who is paired with Philomena, was another one of the unlucky ones, sworn to the Scrimgeours. He knows Rian is a kind person, but also so straightforward and dense that he hurts without knowing it. As two boys growing up, Rian and Isaac competed often, but Rian always one.
Isaac has been sticking up for Philomena because he feels a certain kinship to her. He may be a blacksmith, not a “shadow” like her, but they both must serve under higher-ranked families. Isaac tells Philomena that they have to vent sometimes or they’ll go crazy.
After the tests of courage are done, everyone gathers to watch a terrible American “horror” movie about a shark avalanche. Isaac and Rian sit together, and Isaac makes clear he’ll neither apologize nor accept an apology from Rian. Instead, he wants Rian to apologize to Philomena, and commit to changing. After his talk with Violet, Rian is open to doing so.
As for Jasmine? It was never her, only the ghost of a former student taking Jasmine’s form. Thanks to Violet and the others, she had the most fun she’s had in years. But as the fun wraps up and everyone parts ways for the night, Elias tells Chise that Alexandra wants her to report to the infirmary ASAP, while the lady werewolf looks poised to act.
While not the most action-packed episode, the fact that all these characters got to interact with one another and have all these heart-to-hearts was just as entertaining to watch, if not moreso, than magical battles, as we learned more about Veronica, Philomena, the St. George siblings, and Isaac, while the episode gave Rian and Chise meaningful nudges towards deciding what concrete steps they can take vis-a-vis Philomena’s situation.
