The jig is up! The Knave finally uncovers who Ecila is posing to be and demands her head. But thanks to a clever move set up from a previous encounter, Ecila slips away in the nick of time—barely outsmarting the Knave’s relentless pursuit.

Ecila and the White Rabbit set out for Heartwood Grove, a mystical forest said to conceal the Vorpal Sword, the key to defeating the Queen of Hearts. Upon reaching the sword’s resting place, they discover it is fiercely guarded by the Gryphon — a noble and powerful creature bound by an ancient oath to protect the weapon from the unworthy.

Ecila arrives at the opulent and treacherous palace of the Queen of Hearts, determined to find the Mad Hatter. Disguised as a royal guest, she searches the castle to find The Hatter and set him free - good news follows behind, as the White Rabbit steals the Oracculum from the Queen's room, revealing the location of the vorpal sword.

Abandoned by the Mad Hatter, Ecila is left to wander the twisting paths of Wonderland. Her goal: the Queen’s castle. Her problem: every road seems the wrong one. Just when she’s about to lose hope, a mischievous grin appears in the shadows. Enter the Cheshire Cat—cryptic, clever, and maybe just the guide she needs.

While wandering through the winding paths of Wonderland, Ecila crosses paths with the mischievous Cheshire Cat, whose cryptic guidance leads her to an unexpected reunion with the Dormouse, March Hare, and the eccentric Mad Hatter. Laughter and tea fill the air, and for a moment, it feels as though everything is right. But the calm shatters when the Knave of Hearts arrives, his eyes sharp with suspicion and his voice accusing—he is convinced that Alice is among them, and he’s determined to expose the truth.

The Queen of Hearts makes her grand entrance, her presence commanding fear and obedience from everyone in Wonderland. When a servant makes a grave mistake, she coldly orders their execution by guillotine, cementing her ruthless reputation. Just as the air in the court turns still from her display of authority, shocking news arrives—Alice has returned to Wonderland. The Queen’s eyes blaze with a mix of fury and intrigue, setting the stage for a confrontation that could shake the realm to its core.

Ecila’s adventure grows stranger as the White Rabbit, joined by Dormouse, Dodo, and the mischievous Tweedledee and Tweedledum, lead her deeper into Wondaland’s tangled paths. They claim she must meet the Absolute Caterpillar, the only one wise enough to confirm if she is truly the Alice they’ve been waiting for. When they reach the Caterpillar’s lounge of smoke. Ecila eagerly seeks answers about her place in this topsy-turvy realm. But after a cryptic exchange of questions and riddles, the Absolute Caterpillar bluntly declares that Ecila is not the Alice of prophecy. Shaken but determined, Ecila wonders: if she isn’t the right Alice, then why was she brought here at all?

In this episode, Ecila wanders deeper into the peculiar world of Wonderland and is mesmerized by its oddities — gardens of gossiping flowers, a flying pig that vanishes into thin air, and pathways that lead her in circles. But her wonder soon turns to confusion when she encounters familiar yet strange characters who eye her with suspicion. Whispers spread that she may not be the Alice they’ve been waiting for. As doubt grows, they journey to one creature who can answer their doubts.
