On Richard's advice, Cara flees to the village of her birth. She visits her sister Grace's house, but Grace's husband Sirian contacted the authorities and Cara is taken prisoner. Kahlan is being called to be the judge at her trial for the crimes she committed in the past. Mord'Siths are sent to capture young girls, who will be trained & punished (broken) until there is no good left in them. If Kahlan finds Cara guilty, she has to be confessed, which will result in death. But there is miss Crantan who tells the court what actually did happen in the past. Both women have to face confession, but something happens as Kahlan looks into Cara's eyes.
