Wilhelm has been bugging August with calls for weeks, but he’s not willing to talk to him. August is staying at school, and Wilhelm won’t let him go home. He’s making life a living hell for August, and he doesn’t want to talk to him.
Simon’s house is more calm and he is focusing on music. Sara brings home one of her friends named Marcus. Marcus hears Simon sing and is enchanted, he invites him to Karaoke.
Sara is excited to report back to school. She has been accepted to the manor house and will be sharing a room with Felice. The girls give her an initiation as per their tradition. They dare her to go to the third-year party and do something that will bring the party to a halt.
Simon’s mother is worried as she is not picking up her phone or responding to messages. Simon checks Instagram and sees a video of her setting a flag on fire at the party and in a hurry and out of options, he calls Marcus and asks him to drive him to school.
Simon arrives at the party and quickly runs into Wilhelm, who is there to mess with August and undermine his authority. Wilhelm helps him get in touch with Sara through Felice. After speaking to Sara, Simon leaves immediately and Wilhelm is sad that they didn’t get a chance to talk.
Simon wakes up the next morning and tells his friends that he felt overwhelmed when he ran into Wilhelm at the party. His friends believe Wilhelm is toxic and he should move on. Rosh advises him to forget Wilhelm and get a rebound and points out Marcus will make a good rebound.
Wilhelm is taken aback to hear this but his handler tells him if he had spoken to the queen instead of ignoring her, he would have been well informed.
Alexander is in for another surprise as his dad makes a huge donation to the school to clear up his drugs saga. He is under the impression that August is the one who ratted him out. He thinks Wilhelm is being insubordinate towards August because he doesn’t agree with what August did. I wonder how he will react when he realizes Wilhelm threw him under the bus to save Simon.
Alexander is not the only one who is clueless about who betrayed him, August thinks Sara reported him to Wilhelm. He confronts Sara who denies the allegations and tries to calm August down. August tells her he is worried about the consequences of his actions and he is scared that the royal family is strategizing on how best to retaliate. Being so close to August makes her all hot and bothered and she runs off.
Simon tries to be friendly with Wilhelm, but it’s hard. He’s also happy that he was chosen to perform a solo at the school anniversary ceremony. After classes, he talks to Wilhelm and asks him to give him some space. Wilhelm tries to persuade him, but Simon leaves and texts Ayub to go with him to the Karaoke. ..
Simon and Ayub head to the Karaoke bar where Marcus gleefully welcomes them. He invites Simon to sing a duet with him. They seem to be having fun and Ayub shares the video on his account talking about how he felt like a third wheel.
Wilhelm’s outburst at the anniversary ceremony was a shocking display of anger and defiance. He refused to be part of the royal family and announced that he would not attend the event. This show of defiance could have serious consequences for Wilhelm if he is chosen to succeed his brother as crown prince.
The Episode Review
Wilhelm and Simon continue to have a complicated relationship. Simon is still hurt by Wilhelm’s actions and is trying to move on. Wilhelm seems okay, but he still has feelings for Simon. Marcus seems okay so far, but he may have some unresolved issues with Wilhelm.
Wilhelm is punishing August for his betrayal and it is working because August is scared. However, Wilhelm should also be accountable for his misdeeds. He was the one who came up with a plan to make Alexander take the fall for the drugs.
I understand why he went off after seeing Simon and Marcus together, but he could have handled the situation better. Honestly, this whole situation sucks because there is so much pulling them away from each other. ..
August is attracted to Sara and knows she is playing with fire if she gets too close, she will burn. Hopefully she will reign it in because we all know August only cares about himself.
