Episode Title:
Sugar Confections in the Service of Others
Episode Description:
Glen tells Anne to not participate due to the apparent bias against the workshop after the previous monarch introduced the selection. As the workshop was never chosen, Glen's father, the workshop's previous master, stopped participating in protest. After spending a day assigning the artisans to craft a confection, Glen tells Anne that he changed his mind and will have the workshop participate on the condition that if the workshop is not selected, Anne will be dismissed and Challe's wing will not be returned to her. In preparation for the selection, Anne discusses what to make and the workshop decides to research the winning workshops from previous selections. They consult Elliot, who provides them with journals of previous masters written in a language only Bridget can read. Anne approaches Bridget hoping to get her to read the journals in exchange for a bird confection she made, but she refuses. At night, Orland tells Anne he took Challe's wing and gave it to Glen, while also explaining why Bridget became the person she is now due to the fact that she cannot become an artisan as she would inherit the workshop and Glen feels the responsibilities are too much for her. The next day, Anne decides to make something with a snow motif having settled on making something to help Glen. Before the artisans get to work, they rush out after hearing a distress call and find Elliot wounded.
