Episode Summary
The miscreants run out of the ball, chased by the angered Court; it becomes clear that Anna failed in challenging the King. Meanwhile, the Unknown Voices keep their recording the Hill, realizing that they'd managed to record the King's voice. The girls escape the faeries and argue for a while while Mabel attempts to care for Anna's injuries-- Veratrine explains that Luna's been somehow broken by the King, and if the consort is bending to his will, absolutely no one is safe in the Court-- especially not them. They decide, after some loud objections from Mabel, to run back to the House.

Vera promptly gets eaten by the House, and Anna and Mabel yank her back out. They make sure she's okay and Mabel has a panic attack; after everyone calms down slightly, Mabel explains that they should head to her room, the only place in the House she feels any form of control over. They head to Mabel's bedroom-- it's not the place Anna was told was her room, but instead shoved away in the attic, with bars laid over the windows after an escape attempt Mabel made at age six.

After a few minutes of rest, the house eats Mabel. Anna tries to pull her out while Vera despairs in the background, to which Anna chokes her out again. Vera tells Anna she's acting like she owns Mabel and then tells Anna that she knows what Anna did before she was sent to the Martin house.
