Ep. 2: Sebastian orchestrates a complex scheme to frame Woodley while fulfilling the Queen's secret orders against Siemens.

2

After a letter from Sebastian prompts Reverend Jeremy Rathborne to investigate, the group discovers a snake attack was orchestrated by Noah's Arc Circus member Snake seeking revenge. Rathborne initially believes Siemens faked his death but was killed by Woodley to frame Ciel and protect his diamond business. Arthur Conan Doyle identifies inconsistencies in this theory, revealing that Rathborne is actually Sebastian. He explains that Earl Grey, the Queen's butler, killed Siemens to destabilize Germany and frame Ciel. Sebastian manipulated these events to satisfy the Queen, clear the Phantomhive name, and imprison Woodley. This case inspires Doyle to pursue his career. The episode concludes with Ciel inviting Snake to reside at the manor, while Sebastian reaffirms his loyalty as the head butler until his lie becomes truth.
