Episode Title:
The Villainess and the School Idol
Episode Description:
Gill and Alicia spend time at school, attending lectures and studying. Liz Cathers observes Duke flirting with Alicia and her malice continues to grow. Duke, Gill, and Alicia discuss how to mitigate the spread of "Dotten Sickness", an illness that is spreading through the water. Liz approaches Gill later on and asks him to teach her about Roana. Gill rebuffs Liz at first, but Liz subconsciously releases her mind control aura and influences him, leading him to waver. Duke arrives and breaks the brainwashing placed on Gill. Liz is upset by Duke's intervention and her malice grows stronger, inadvertently leading to an altercation at the cafeteria. Jane forcibly cuts Carol's hair and then illogically blames Alicia for her own actions. Jane attempts to stab Carol with the scissors, but Alicia restrains Jane with magic and then disarms her. Alicia then proceeds to cut her own hair to mimic Carol's appearance in solidarity. Many girls are surprisingly inspired by Alicia's action and also cut their own hair short to match, indicating that Liz's mind control is weakening. Alicia finds it surprising that people's opinions shifted so easily and considers investigating it. Before she can, she finds that students are now bullying Jane in place of Alicia. Feeling generous, Alicia helps Jane out, even though Jane does not appreciate it. While researching ancient texts, Mel makes a startling discovery.
