The Mölders family will soon travel to their house in London. They ordinarily take a few servants along, and Emma is afraid she might be picked for the position.

Mrs. Trollope asks Emma to join her at her son’s engagement party, as an attendant. Mrs. Molders decides that Emma will go, but it’s a decision that Emma might soon regret.

William’s heart has been thrown into turmoil. In an attempt to calm him, William’s mother tells him about her past, along with what happened between her and Richard.

William’s decision is made: he’s going to call off the engagement. But such harsh actions will have harsh consequences, especially where Viscount Campbell is involved.

Distraught at what’s happened to the Jones family and blaming herself for it all, Emma runs away. But Hans follows after her, determined to bring her home.

Fire breaks out at the Mölders’ home, and Emma rushes to help! Meanwhile, William has his hands tied trying to save the family business; today is the last day before the railway project is closed. But today is also the day when Emma and William must either meet at the fountain, or never again… When the appointed time comes, what will they choose?
