Amelia wants to host a Halloween party to welcome All Saints' Day, and Lavinia wants everyone to have her own pumpkin. Sara and Becky leave for Covent Garden, and Thomas and Ram Dass recruit the dress-shop proprietor to prepare a care package for Sara. Despite Molly's order to avoid Peter, he helps Sara and Becky with the groceries. Amelia knows a number of party games, and is a good hostess when the Headmistress steps aside. While the latter has a quiet midnight snack in her room and James and Molly are out, Lavinia, Jessie and Gertrude play a prank on Lottie which results in a fire.
