Episode Title:
Dad Gets into an Elegant Pickle
Episode Description:
After spending the whole day at the library to do research to write the play's script, Anna collapses and Grace brings her to the nurse's office to rest. Anna considers herself a failure, but Grace assures her otherwise. Afterwards, Grace and Anna look for somebody with theatrical expertise and are introduced to Francette (or Fran for short). The three look at scripts that were written in the past and they stumble across one that stands out written by Jacqueline. Hinako explains that in the game's original script, Fran serves as Anna's best friend, but that role was taken by Grace and Fran is instead the theatrical advisor. With two weeks left before the festival, Grace provides an overview of the script and the cast with Grace cast as the prince Edmond, Anna as the commoner Toby, Richard as Toby's mother, Virgile as the queen, Pierre as a maid, Lucas as the fairy Fee, Auguste as the knight Marielle, and Lambert as the queen's sister Simone. Before that, Grace practices playing as Edmond, but struggles with her lines after the body swap due to it clashing with her Elegant Cheat skill, prompting Grace to ask Fran to revise the script to have Anna stand out more. After reading Jacqueline's script, Fran realizes how much of an amateur she is. That night, Leopold informs Grace that Jacqueline plans to attend the play. With the festival approaching, the student council boys tell Grace that they have other commitments in the lead-up to the festival that will make doing a group rehearsal impossible.
