Suddenly, Lionel wakes up much to his happiness. Lionel reveals to Cassandra that he heard her make a confession to him. With Minx, he threatens to report her to the police if she does not leave Angela alone. Katrina announces to Ted that she is having dinner with Suzanne. Ted is very discontented.

She joins Mason at his office for lunch and phones Dreyfuss, the butler in Ballymoor. He tells her that there is no maidservant of the floor in the manor...
