The new lord of the dungeon rearranged all the floors into one, so now dangerous monsters are headed towards the surface, and an all out assault is taking place between all the inhabitants! The Canaries are trying to keep things under control while the Adventurers appeal to the new Lord to wrest the power of the dungeon and settle things down. If the monsters get outside the dungeon, the magic will escape and could potentially destroy not just the island, but bring all of the world's inhabitants under the Winged Lion's control!

Sabrian visits Abigail after their failed dance practice and confesses his trauma about touching her and why the Foundation Ball will be so difficult for him. The Ball finally arrives, and Abigail and Blanche make a splash with matching dresses designed by Abigail. They’re in the style of chemise A la Reine, one by Marie Antiunette that doesn’t require a corset or panniers, so it’s perfect for the summertime ball. Also at the ball is Lady Karen Stoke, sister to Abigail’s mother, who is Abigail’s rival and would love nothing more than to usurp Abigail. Later, Abigail hosts a tea party and Karen comes in another dress style, mi-parti, and instead of showing Abigail up, she becomes an object of fascination as Abigail explains the intricacies of the dress to the attendees.
