Plot
Wondering around the manor, Kate complains how hard it is to find her team members and takes a break at a saloon where they catch the attention of Douglas and his team. Douglas points out that it is strange to come into a saloon on their own, explaining that Louise frequents the Star Bearer's tower to Kate's surprise. The team makes fun of Kate for not knowing the Belle twins's favourite food which are jam tarts and Kate storms out in humiliation. John sees her angry and nearly goes to start a fight with Douglas, nearly saying out loud that Kate solved the Phantom Incident. He notes that only he, Kate, and the Star Bearers know the true story, Patrick and Louise only know that Maryrose is the culprit, not her fate, while the rest of the building believes the twins are the culprits. William, the leader of John's team, calls him over and gives Kate worried looks as Emilico motivates her to face one problem at a time. They go to meet the Belle twins who refuse to accept Kate as their leader, then argue who is to go out as they take turns with the remaining Belle who starts to cry from the stress. The Belle twins complain about her, then turn to Kate, ordering her to pick out which twin Belle truly belongs to.
