The villagers pressure Sullivan under the leadership of the old crone to drive out Ciel's group, as they blame the werewolf attacks on their presence. Sullivan relents and announces that the outsiders will be dismissed the next day. At the same time, the Emerald Castle is attacked by a werewolf – an unexpected breach of the historic pact. Sullivan performs a summoning ritual to appease the werewolves and emphasizes her role as the protector of the village.

Ciel's mental state deteriorates: His fear and disorientation culminate in panic outbursts, while Finnian tries to calm him down by recalling their shared past. Meanwhile, Sebastian and Snake uncover a secret dungeon beneath the castle linked to werewolf activity. Snake discovers that the villager Anne carries the scent of a werewolf, hinting at connections between the village and the werewolves.

As the servants puzzle over Ciel's recovery and Sullivan's motives, John Brown, a messenger from Queen Victoria, arrives and delivers a secret message. This suggests a political dimension to the events.
