The episode begins with a conversation between Tinasha and her nurse Sylvia, who offers to cut Tinasha's hair. Sylvia expresses her fear of witches and mentions historical records about the destructive powers of witches, but notes that Tinasha doesn’t fit this terrifying image. Tinasha reflects on her own fears and dislikes, particularly her discomfort with being confined to a bed and her complicated feelings toward Oscar, whom she believes only sees her as a stray cat he took in.
Oscar announces to his father, King Kevin, his intention to marry Tinasha, which she immediately rejects, claiming her presence is only meant to break a curse placed on Oscar. During the discussion, Oscar’s sense of responsibility and Tinasha’s concern over his careless approach to potential dangers become apparent.
Meanwhile, the characters Valt, Miralys, and Lanak discuss the immense power of Tinasha, the Witch of the Azure Moon. They mention historical interactions and current situations involving powerful magic and territorial disputes.
In a forest, Oscar and Lazar encounter dangerous plants that have caused deaths in the village. After meeting Lucrezia, the Witch of the Forbidden Forest, who knows Tinasha, Oscar and Lazar learn more about the cause of the mysterious deaths and receive help from Lucrezia after being attacked by the plants.
Back at the castle, Oscar’s mysterious encounter with Lucrezia and a strange scent around him lead to tensions, prompting Tinasha to suspect an enchantment affecting his health. This suspicion is confirmed when it’s revealed that Oscar is under a curse draining his life force through dream encounters with a ghostly lover. The episode ends with Tinasha and Oscar confronting the curse and ultimately overcoming it in a dramatic showdown, where Oscar is forced to take action against an illusion of Tinasha.
