After an hour of showing her around the Island, Alistair brings Jessica back to the main hall and shows her the Curse Vault. While she has enjoyed the tour and is happy Alistair is finally sharing more of the truth of who he is and what he and his proteges do she asks him again to see the real him. Alistair is finally ready and sheds his construct body revealing his cursed form of the Sapphire Fox. Jessica is confused as she though the crystal inside was some kind of magic control not his actual form. Alistair then explains how he's lived as a cursed Statue for nearly 570 years. Jessica is shocked and a bit upset as she had thought Alistair was closer to her own age. Alistair refrains from explaining why he was cursed in the first place saying that story is best left for another day. Jessica is still a bit disappointed but understands. She also plans to ask Isabelle about borrowing a book she remembered seeing on her shelf about such curses. After the revelation is out of the way Alistair guides Jessica deeper into the caves planning to put her to her first test for an apprenticeship. 
Alistair brings Jessica to his Library in one of the lower caves that contains his more generic yet well kept collection of spell books and magic tomes. He sets Jessica to the task of cataloging and organizing them all as she has shown to be very studious and skilled with books and his other three proteges have been avoiding the task. While Jessica had expected to be put to the test curing someone of a curse she accepts Alistair's job so long as she's allowed to read a few books she finds and borrow some here and there. Alistair agrees and tells her she has a few weeks to fully organize the library. After Alistair leaves her to get started and look through the collection Jessica is in aw of how many spell books he's collected over the centuries and finds a book titles personal memorizers that she hopes to read seeing that its one of Alistair's diaries. 
Later that week on Thursday Jessica is back working with Scarlet at her internship and presents a stack of reports early hoping to get Friday off and spend most of the weekend working on Alistair's job. Scarlet is impressed and says she's earned a day off. As the two talk a bit about how hard Jessica's been working lately Huan comes in still his usual lustful self. He cozies up to Jessica again but Scarlet still doesn't seem to notice. Huan invites Jessica up to his office to discuss her recent performance in her internship. While she complies Jessica is still offset by Huan's handseyness and lustful stares. They arrive at his office and she takes a seat at his desk. Huan however locks the office door much to her concern. He then comes up behind Jessica and begins to message her shoulders saying she seems stressed out. Jessica tries to talk things off and get him to stop but he continues and goes as far as to pull her top open more saying he wants to discuss what she can do to guarantee her being hired with the company once her internship is over. Huan then gets very forward and takes on a demanding tone as he stares at Jessica in her chair. 
== Trivia ==
* Alistair specifies in this episode he's been in his cursed form for about 570 years but based on Ivy's age and a few other things mentioned in the Kings Heirs this is more likely closer to 562 - 564.
