## Story

Frederick hurriedly leads Celso, carrying Aurelia (who has an injured foot) on his back, up the Pastel Palace's stairs to Gwendolyn's bedroom. As Celso runs, Aurelia remembers how Lilyth's portrait was empty, and wonders if the Unnamed Witch told the truth about Lilyth's soul having left to visit another portrait. She decides to try and finish reading The Diary of Lilyth while they're heading upstairs. On the other side of the palace, Leland is also trying to get to Gwen's bedroom, although he's bleeding, bruised, and has a gash on his head.

Aurelia first flips to a section of the diary where Lilyth writes about how overjoyed she is that the omniscient clam told her that each of her children would be as beautiful as Jack - meaning she won't ruin the legacy of the Pastel family's beauty, nor will she repeat the tragedy of Melusine by returning to the Braided Island and dying of a broken heart. Aurelia flips past that part, which she's already read, and arrives at Lilyth's diary entry from the night before their wedding. While Jack is instructing the Pastel maids, Helena interrupts to tell him he can't go through with the wedding. However, he ushers the maids to get her a glass of wine and instead goes over to talk to Leland and Isolde, who is now pregnant. Meanwhile, Helena and Jesse once again yell at Lilyth for "ruining everything". When Jack asks what's wrong, Helena shouts that Lilyth is *ugly*, and everyone but him knows it. After a moment of shocked silence from everyone in the room, Jack tells his parents to look in the mirror, because he's "never seen them look so hideous". The king and queen turn to see a mirror behind them; when they look into it, they see versions of themselves with bulging, bloodshot eyes and wart-covered faces that won't move. They believe that this is how their faces actually look now and are completely horrified, although in reality, their faces are unchanged, and everyone else in the room is staring at them in bewilderment. Still covering their faces and yelling at Lilyth for desecrating their beauty, Helena and Jesse flee the room, and so do some of the nobles in attendance. Aurelia is surprised by the turn of events, and can only say "What the heck...?"

At the same time, Leland is ascending flights of stairs when he comes across a certain area he remembers from a conversation with Jack on the same night as the diary entry Aurelia was reading. Jack was sobbing from what his parents had said about Lilyth, as he had never even considered that *anyone* could consider her ugly. He asked Leland to honestly tell him if he thought Lilyth was ugly. Leland reluctantly admitted that he thought Lilyth was beautiful, because she was the one Jack had chosen. Jack was so touched by this that he immediately got up and hugged Leland.

In the present, Leland berates himself for not taking the good opportunity to "rip him to shreds" and instead being honest. Determined to keep going, he's about to enter Gwendolyn's bedroom when a furious Miss Agatha, accompanied by Gwen's rat and possum, confront him at the door. Just as they are about to fight, Miss Agatha faints and drops to the floor, while Gwen's animals run away in terror. As Leland approaches the door, he tells himself there will be no more pain or blood; however, when he opens the door, he sees a large cage of thorns surrounding Gwen's body.

## Notes and Trivia

* The panel where Lilyth sees her reflection darkly scribbled over was one of the images that LambCat spoiled in the hiatus comeback video. However, when comparing the two, Lilyth's lips seem to have a darker red tint in the final panel, while in the leaked image her lips are not colored.
* In real life, possum do actually eat doves, but it seems Jack has already trained the animals for safer releasing during Leelathae (Lilyth)/Jack's small and intimate wedding the following day.
* If looking at Isolde's protuding stomach and Jack clearly greeting the incoming baby of 'little future Plaid Prince', then it could be predicted that at this flashback she's already pregnant with Blaine - making the wedding of Jack and Lilyth likely happened around 20 years ago.
* Molly offering Lilyth hors d'oeuvre which consisting of small foods that likely pastries with fruit jam and various fruits. This hor d'ouvre offering also similar with how Frederick to let Gwendolyn to calms a bit as clearly shown to getting stressed out as being hostess for Gwendolyn's Dinner Party.
* Weapon used in this episode is short arrow that used by Mr Rat and Mr Possum, as well as rectractable pointer stick that Miss Agatha used.
