Pharoah goes to the barn to annoy Maxwell, who isn't having any of it. Maverick and Chess appear in the barn, standing at opposite entrances. Once Pharoah comes down from the top floor of the barn where him and Max were, Maverick tells him that harassing fourteen year olds isn't a good look for him. Pharoah leaves and Maxwell walks downstairs and goes to Edmund the griffin, Chess and Maverick follow him out and reassure him, telling him he shouldn't listen to people like Pharoah. 
Finch and Seungmin talk in Seungmin's dorm. Seungmin expresses how he wants to resign from Student Council, Finch says there's a part of him that also wants to, but he is unsure. Chess and Blyth talk with each other on the west lot.
=== Government-Ethics Class ===
Breakfast goes as normal and afterwards everyone goes to Government-Ethics class. The subject for the class is on the morality of lying, Mrs. Kontos has the students define lying before discussing the ethics of it. There are several contradicting opinions on the matter, but the actual class topic is overshadow by Blyth making suggestive jokes about Persephone and Maverick's relationship. He calls Maverick a bottom and claims that Persephone "tops him". Class is dismissed.
=== Midday ===
Maverick and Persephone meet in the Witch Council's Chambers and discuss how they could kill Blyth. Maverick says "Murder doesn't look good for a reelection campaign." Maverick promises that he will look into Blyth's past instead to see if there's anything he could dig up and use against him. In Cedric's dorm, Ada and Cedric drink vodka before the meeting. Blyth and Chess enjoy each others company on one of the benches on the west lot.
=== The Student Council Meeting ===
The student council meeting begins as normal, Maverick gives his report on the last terms disciplinary counts. Witches had the most detentions, followed by vampires, then werewolves. Maverick goes over the recent events at the school, including the Masquerade Ball and Worm Moon. He briefly glosses over Jack McAlistar's death and subsequent turning. Everything goes surprisingly well until the open forum.
Cedric, drunk, stands up to speak. He talks about how he believes everyone should be respectful to the council because the haven't been. Maverick is embarrassed by the fact he showed up to the meeting drunk, but Persephone finds his newfound confidence amusing. Seungmin uses Cedric's point about being respectful and flips it, saying that they should start with the council respecting each other. Persephone points out that all the members that "contribute to duties" respect each other, a subtle jab at his absences. 
Seungmin takes the stand and says they are most likely going to resign. Maverick tries to hide his excitement at this prospect, nodding along as he listens to Seungmin. Seungmin begins to make points about how the Witch Council doesn't respect the Vampire Council and the two of them go back and forth. Seungmin tells Cedric that Maverick is too busy "playing with your emotions" to respect either him or Finch. Maverick frowns at this and after a few more comments, Seungmin steps down. 
Benvolio eagerly gets up and begins to speak, Maverick and Persephone are both worried about what he might say and are clearly unnerved. This is, until, Benvolio says that the council should be abolished and rebuilt with strong and respected leaders who don't rely on emotion, such as Persephone and Maverick. The two of them immediately switch their tone and subtly go along with what he's saying, pleased by it. Max speaks after Ben and sheepishly suggests that everyone simply be nice and respect each other and also says a few things about werewolf rights before he steps down.
Finch gets up and admits that he hasn't been doing a good job on the council as of the late, he says he will try and do better. Maverick points out that Finch had said the same thing before but there was no notable change made. Finch accepts this and apologizes again. A few people go back and forth before Blyth gets up to speak. He begins to insult Maverick for letting Cedric, who's drunk, get up and speak at the meeting. Maverick tells him he doesn't approve either and that he should sit down. Ada is next to speak, she asks where the representation for the vampires and werewolves is, pointing out there are now three witch council members, one vampire council member, and an absent werewolf council member. 
Maverick says that it isn't his fault if someone decides not to show up, he also points out the positions are open but no one qualified has tried to take them yet. Ada continues, saying that nonetheless, representation is important, Maverick get's slightly defensive about a comment she makes about werewolves, Ada is suspicious.
Max returns to the stand and, following what Ada said, talks about how poorly wolves are treated. Finch agrees and makes a point to draw attention to Persephone, the resident anti-werewolf member of the council. Persephone shrugs off the comment and simply agrees with Finch. This angers several others and almost every student council member begins to go back and forth with Persephone. Maverick calls the meeting to an end but the arguing continues, he tells them to speed it up and assures anyone watching that everything is fine. Persephone uses telekinesis and throws the microphone on the speakers podium into the hallway before disappearing.
=== The Aftermath ===
Blyth is called into the office by Headmistress Waterford, who warns him about his behavior during the student council meeting, telling him he's on thin ice. Blyth brushes this off and is dismissed. In the hall outside her office, Finch, Seungmin, and Maxwell all talk with each other. Max reveals to them that he is considering running for Werewolf Prefect, they encourage him to follow the path if he wants to, but warn him that it can be a hard job. Maxwell enters Waterford's office and asks about possibly becoming a prefect. She asks him a few questions, looks over his file, and tells him that he's qualified and she will set up an election date for him. He is pleased and Waterford dismisses him, shortly after he leaves, Seungmin enters and resigns from Student Council. Waterford takes their pin from them and listens to their reasons before also dismissing them. 
In the conference room, Cedric reflects and starts to sober up, thinking about how terribly the meeting went. Rain enters the room and agrees with him about how terrible the school is and offers to turn him into a vampire. Cedric quickly declines this offer and heads back to his dorm where Ada and him get drunk yet again. Rain goes to the barn and finds Eris there, the two of them also get drunk together. Chess and Blyth spend time out at the sandpit.
=== The Evening ===
Blyth texts Cedric and tells him that they are going to train, as agreed the previous night. Cedric says no to doing it at that time and him and Blyth text back and forth for a few minutes. Ada takes the phone and texts "Postpone it or I'll postpone your face." During his curfew rounds, Maverick finds Blyth at the sandpit and the two stare at each other, not saying a word. Ada and Cedric arrive as this is happening and he gives up, telling them he has a date before leaving the sandpit. Maverick and Persephone meet in the Witch Room and share a bottle of wine as they celebrate their new majority on the Student Council of three to two. They also reminisce about the days of the French Monarchy. 
Cedric and Blyth try to train at the sandpit, but Cedric, being drunk, can hardly see straight and makes a fool of himself. Blyth easily beats him up, afterwards, he texts Maverick to come pick him up. Maverick reluctantly departs with Persephone and goes to the sandpit, he begins to take Cedric and Ada back to the school. On their way, they see Benvolio and Persephone, Ben is sitting on the balcony and Persephone is above him, standing on the roof with a bottle of wine. Maverick brings Ada and Cedric back to Cedric's dorm and then goes to the balcony, planning to take them inside, but instead he stands behind them, silently listening. They begin to talk about him and he is displeased so he leaves and goes to bed. Cedric, Ada, and Eris all meet up and spend the rest of the night drinking.
Persephone pretends to fall off the balcony beside Benvolio but teleports back next to him, she then actually leaves and runs off to the mausoleum, using a key she stole form Maverick to get inside. She cries to herself while Benvolio tries to get the door open and be let in, he begs her to open the door so he can help her. Persephone continues to freak out as she comes to a realization and using her magic, she is able to shake the entire mausoleum, she runs out afterwards and Benvolio pursues her on her way back to the school. He tries to help her but she snaps at him and tells him to leave her alone. This escalates again when he magic goes haywire and knocks him back, she leaves again.
