- Azalea stumbles back to her room, and looks at the sugar teeth, which must've been in the pavilion all this time; the prongs have been bent backwards, as though the Keeper tortured them.
- She goes looking for her sisters, and hears muffled thumps from a broom closet—Lord Teddie has been locked inside. He's visiting on account of the riddle.
- The rest of the girls catch up, and Lord Teddie gives them all candy. Azalea tells Bramble that she'll fill them in later (but no one gets the whole story about their mom being there).
- That night, the girls see the sugar teeth, bent all wrong, and are horrified. Azalea goes downstairs to get some sugar cubes to keep the teeth company (also hoping that the younger girls will fall asleep before she gets back, so they won't have to go to the pavilion that night).
- But the King is there, and he guesses that they lost the brooch. Azalea shows him the sugar teeth and asks if he can help.
- He uses an old sword, a relic, to unmagic the sugar teeth so that they're normal and not rattling around in pain anymore.
- Then the King asks what their mother used to do when it was time for bed. He reads them a few stories, and the younger girls fall asleep.
- Azalea stays awake, thinking, and decides that maybe the magic sword is what Keeper's after. She sneaks downstairs to get the sword, hoping that maybe she can unmagic the passage and trap Keeper inside forever… but that doesn't work. The sword is broken, after all (Azalea cracked it when she was upset that the King was going off to war).
- Azalea accidentally wakes up the King where he's sleeping in the library, and begs him to fix the sword. He sighs and says that it's time to tell her something.
