Episode: 8
Caterina walks alone down a dark forest path with her lantern, upset that Felton did not propose to her. A scarred tramp stalks her from the trees and ambushes her. Caterina fights back and screams for Felton, but the tramp pins her down and chokes her. Inside his bedroom, Felton hears her cries and laughs at her. Instead of helping, Felton invites a blonde maid into his room and kisses her while Caterina suffocates outside.
Caterina carries a lantern down a dark road outside the estate. She walks by herself and laments that Felton did not propose to her. The forest around her stays quiet as she heads into the trees alone.
A scarred, toothless tramp stalks Caterina from behind the trees. Caterina strikes him and says she belongs to Lord Felton. The attacker ignores her warnings, tackles her straight to the dirt, and violently chokes her as she screams.
Felton stands in his bedchamber and clearly hears Caterina screaming his name outside. He mocks her as a pathetic farm girl instead of helping. He opens his door, and a blonde maid walks in to seduce him.
The blonde maid strips to her lingerie, and Felton embraces and kisses her against the wall. Felton calls Caterina a false angel. Meanwhile, the scene cuts back to the dark forest where the tramp violently strangles Caterina on the ground.
“Think the Duke wants a poor girl? Lucky I'm not the choosy.”
“I belong to Lord Felton. He'll come to save me if I call.”
“That pathetic farm girl is screaming my name. How sad.”
“Why don't we expose her for what she truly is? Then we can be together.”
Felton passionately kisses the maid against his bedroom wall and plots to discard Caterina. At the same moment in the dark forest, the tramp pins Caterina to the ground and violently strangles her. Will anyone hear Caterina's desperate cries in the woods before the attacker chokes her to death, or will Felton leave her to die?
