## Story

In the last episode, Princess Gwendolyn ran away from her home into the Haunted Forest, was followed by a group of sinister shadows, then tripped over a log and passed out while they surrounded her. This episode begins with Gwendolyn awakening in a fresh nightgown and quickly realizing she has no idea **where she is**. She gets up, and a group of sophisticated-looking women outside notice her and whisper "The girl is awake.." Gwen wonders why they're staring at her, but then a thought hits her: the memory of her fiancee saying that she was "really ugly!" After remembering this, she thinks that the women, who all appear to be "beautiful, glamorous princesses", must be whispering about how she looks. However, a blue-haired princess in a pantsuit suddenly appears and interrupts her thoughts.

The woman apologizes for what had happened the previous night and explains that Gwendolyn had run into their forest and they were the shadows who had followed her. They were wary of her, but once they caught up to her and saw that she'd passed out, they patched her up and took her to where she currently is. Gwendolyn remembers the events and thanks the woman for helping her, and in response, the woman calls her "the most polite vagabond [they've] ever met". She is surprised by this, and explains that she's a *princess*, though she may not look so. The woman realizes her mistake, and calls out to the other princesses that Gwen is "one of them" and they don't have to worry.

The other princesses seem to be relieved by hearing this, and one of them gives Gwendolyn a seat and offers her wine. Just after she rejects it, a crow appears next to her and turns into a girl. She is shocked by this, but is distracted when another princess appears and shoves away the wine. Gwendolyn initially thinks the woman looks elegant, but after the woman holds up an even redder wine with a pair of *lobster claws*, she's shocked and wonders what the place is. Suddenly, another princess sits down next to Gwendolyn. The princess, who looks more normal than any of the other princesses Gwendolyn has seen, introduces herself as Princess Jolie of the Lace Kingdom and tells her that she's glad to have another friend in the 'club' who "understands [them] for what [they] truly are". As Gwendolyn wonders what this 'club' is and what Jolie has in common with any of the other princesses there, she tells Jolie that she has a piece of lint in her eye. Jolie thanks Gwen for letting her know and, instead of getting the piece of lint Gwen saw in her 'eye', she *lifts her eyes and the space around them up*. This reveals that Jolie doesn't actually have any eyes, only empty eye sockets, which she begins searching through for the lint. The last panel is a close-up of Gwendolyn's horrified face, captioned *[internally screaming]*.

## Trivia

* According to this episode:
	+ Some of the princesses are shown drinking wine at 7:00 in the morning. Additionally, neither Syrah nor Thermidora care about legal drinking age.
		- In fact, Thermidora seems to only care about how red the wine is.
