## Summary

Edward deduces that word of Fusion has been leaked as Maryrose did not react to Barbara referring to him as Edward despite appearing as "Ed". Passing the midway point of the hall, meaning that they are officially in Lord Grandfather's wing, Maryrose sends some soot through a window onto soot sacks, creating a large number of scorches that breaks through a window in the form of a phantom. Maryrose, Rosemary, and the phantom are quickly subdued by Edward who creates harsh noises with his soot, deafening them. In a final sign of defiance, Maryrose and Rosemary happily embrace each other and jump out of the broken window, off the hallway, into the abyss below.

## Plot

Having passed the halfway point of the hallway, Barbara turns back as Edward asks why Maryrose did not react to him being "Edward" despite using Ed's appearance and deduces a traitor who leaked the secret of fusion. Maryrose notes that the halfway point in the hall means that they are officially in the Lord Grandfather's wing, sending down soot through a window to a set of sacks on top of the soot pipe, creating a massive amount of scorches which fuse into a phantom and crashes through the window. Exclaiming that this is all Edward's responsibility, Maryrose attacks Edward and the Star Bearers rush to stop her, telling Kate to stay behind. Edward notes that the accumulation of coffee wasn't enough, shifting into his shadow form as Maryrose suddenly screams in pain to Rosemary's shock. The two are quickly subdued by Edward's soot power which can manipulate noise, causing sounds that create pain as the phantom crumbles and falls out the window. Shifting back to his face, Edward explains that fusion enhances a shadow's soot power and asks if Maryrose is envious. Standing up, Maryrose denies this and exchanges smiles with Rosemary and embrace each other as they jump out of the broken window into the cliffs as a final act of defiance.

Ricky retrieves Lou's shears but is shocked again when Lou comes back up, tackling him, and puts her face close to Ricky asking if her face is alright.

Going over to Patrick, he is anxious, having been stuck somewhere cramped and dark as well as separated from Ricky. He wishes for Ricky to rescue him already, hitting the walls until he starts to cry to himself.

## Summary

After Louise went after Benjamin, Sara asks Kate how to use soot powers and the team goes out to a garden to demonstrate. Kate explains that Shadows have to consciously release to awaken. The Belle twins and Kate discuss how they awakened as Kate notes that Sara and Douglas' relationship must have gone worse as she came to Kate instead. Later, it begins to rain prompting the twins to run back while Sara despairs over the fact she will be disposed of. Kate reassures her that she will use her position to protect Sara and the pairs go inside for a change of clothes. In a bath, Sara wonders if she is mistaken, thinking back to a time when she called out to Thomas who was returning in his sedan chair.

## Plot

Before Louise left, she told Kate about the fact Oliver holds records of soot powers and Kate decides to finish her team's tea party to see him. Sara stops her and shyly asks about soot powers, causing the Belle twins to tease her. Deciding to prioritise her team members, Kate reminds the Belles that Sara is a teammate, noting the twins seems to have gotten attached to her when they meekly apologise.
Leading the team out to a courtyard, Kate claims she doesn't like crowded place but secretly did so to avoid Sara getting teased. Kate and the Belle twins demonstrate soot control, shooting it out of their hands as Kate explains that awakened Shadows are able to consciously release soot without negative emotions. The twins explain that they awakened after they thought about how easy it would be to control their Doll manually and Kate, embarrassed, tells them the soot dolls she made started moving but the twins take interest in this and suggest a late night meeting with the team. Kate internally wonders why Sara didn't approach Douglas, a debutante classmate instead.
Some time passes and it begins to rain as the Belle twins quickly head inside. Sara begins to despair over her situation, having not learned of soot powers which may result in her disposal. Kate quickly reassures her that she will use her position as a Team Leader to protect her teammate. Sara tells Kate to get a change of clothes as the rain has soaked both of them.
Taking a bath, Sara wonders if she is mistaken, thinking of an earlier part of the day where she approached Thomas who was leaving in his sedan chair.
