Being the only woman in the workshop, Kat explains there are not many women artisans because of the physically demanding work involved in refining silver sugar. The workshop's headmaster and Jonas' uncle Marcus Radcliffe drops by ordering Kat and Elliott Collins, the acting headmaster of the Paige workshop, to oversee the refinement. Anne gets to work and struggles before encountering Elliott and Bridget Paige, the daughter of the Paige workshop headmaster Glen Paige and Elliott's fiancée. After working all day refining silver sugar, Anne gets food from Bridget, who expresses her skepticism about female artisans, and secures her supply of sugar apples for the exhibition. At night after Anne falls asleep, Challe goes out and runs into Bridget, and Bridget expresses her love for Challe, but Challe rejects her feelings. Six days later, Anne argues with Sammy over how to refine the sugar apples with Sammy disregarding quality before Keith takes Anne outside the workshop. Keith shows Anne his entry confection modeled off Challe as Anne figures out what her entry piece will be. As Anne looks out the window, she sees Bridget falling for Challe. Bridget explains to her the marriage with Elliott was arranged and she doesn't love him, and Challe made her heart race. Challe responds telling Bridget she must possess his wing and order him to fall in love with her.
