Sara fears an intruder, only to find a distressed Becky delivering party items. Appreciating their bond, Sara notes their shared background despite different upbringings, while Becky explains servant duties and offers assistance. The next morning, Sara’s belongings are removed and her former maid, Mariette, is dismissed by the Headmistress. Molly instructs Sara on her new tasks. As Sara cleans the classroom and waits for it to clear, she reminisces about her student days. This labor reinforces her determination to finish her education, even in the face of the Headmistress’s continued hostility.
