Key Lines from Episode 2

“She had an allergic reaction to some face powder she used herself, and now she's dead set on making someone else take the blame. An elf makes a convenient scapegoat.”

Guard 2 · A guard explains Miss Ivy's scheme to his partner while driving the carriage.

“I want her dead. I want her on her knees begging me for mercy.”

Miss Ivy · Miss Ivy weeps in the mansion hall while demanding Linor be executed.

“Butler Hoke, do you know what stardew grass fears most? Fire. But even more than that, it fears the evidence in a wrong person's hands being too hot to handle.”

Linor · Linor taunts Hawke from inside her prison cell while displaying the glowing crystal.

“Don't you dare!”

Steward Hawke · Hawke shouts in anger when Linor shows the evidence through the bars.

How Episode 2 Ends

Linor steps back inside her locked cell, keeping the glowing crystal just out of Steward Hawke's reach. Hawke grips the iron bars and screams in helpless rage as her evidence remains intact. Will Linor manage to bring her secret proof before the judges, or can the Martha family silence her before the trial begins?
