Lady Armitage waits in Lyme Regis for Signor de Luca, aka Ned, to bring her proof of Cecilia’s death. She refused to attend the Wisteria Society meeting because she could not stand the sight of Miss Darlington, preferring to wait until after the death of Cecilia to meet with her and finally kill her.
A man knocks on Lady Armitage’s door and introduces himself as Jacobsen, asking if Ned is there. She says no, and he attempts to shoot her, but she uses her fan to block the bullet. Ned then arrives and tells Lady Armitage he gave her servants the silver Lady Armitage stole from the Queen’s treasury, and that he is now stealing her house. She is shocked and attempts to fight him off, but when Cecilia arrives, she explains that Morvath has taken the Society hostage and they need her help. She then agrees to help them with her battlehouse.
Ned and Cecilia scrounge together a dinner, as the servants are gone, while Lady Armitage slowly flies the house toward where they think Morvath is hiding. They eat dinner with Lady Armitage and plot how to find and defeat Morvath. Lady Armitage interrogated Jacobsen, and he revealed that he suspects Morvath is nearby.
