Leon is arrested for treason after a planted box of false evidence shows up at the tea party, and then he goes from being beloved to being imprisoned. The guards arrest him, seizing his airship and armor before imprisoning him. In the process, some guards beat him for defending himself.

Two of the guards escorting Leon turn out to be Queen Milene and Gilbert, who inform him that the Marquis is secretly working with the principal and convince Leon to remain imprisoned to help them. Angelica is excluded from the plan and must confront Hertrude directly.

Later on, Hertrude comes to Leon’s cell and wants him to leave the kingdom and come over to her service. However, he flatly refuses; since her father is not willing to help her, Angelica and Olivia appeal to Marie for help, who humbles them to their knees in public before agreeing to help them.

Later on, Julius and other princes interfere with the situation and force Marie to promise that she will help Leon even though she has no idea how she would do that. The episode ends with the fleet of the Principality moving to the kingdom, setting up the stakes for Trapped in a Dating Sim Season 2 Episode 5.
