Kate meets her living doll and names her. The two play dress-up and begin to bond as master and servant, but there is much that they both must learn about each other and the mysterious Shadows House.

Tensions mount as the candidates prepare for the debut, but little do they know what Edward has in store. As the debut proceeds, Kate and Emilico struggle amid the more competitive candidates. Who will rise to the top, and who will be discarded?

The debut continues as the dolls try to find their shadow masters. Will Lou and Ricky's unlikely partnership last much longer? Will Emilico and Rum survive the dreadful maze? And why has Edward planned such an elaborate debut in the first place?

Kate notices a change in Emilico. Upon reading Emilico's notebook, she tries something to help her, but Emilico vanishes after learning a secret. Kate enlists John in finding her and then shares the secret with the others, but can they thwart Edward?

Barbara and Barbie meet a robed figure at the entrance of the manor with a large number of Scorches. Later in the night, the Living Dolls are gathered and ordered to report if they know of the figure. Kate and Emilico discuss the announcement, then go to sleep.

The phantom mayhem has ended in the worst possible way, and as the house tries to settle back into its usual routine, Kate and Emilico's suspicions and fears give rise to an unshakeable determination.
