The next morning, the Governess tells her daughter that she's going to have a meeting with Lockwood's group. The Governess says that she won't let anyone take the children away from her, and she'll wipe their mouths. She tells Lockwood that he'll be her partner in crime, and they'll meet at the office the next day. Lockwood says he's been preparing lunch for the group, and he wants to be on his way to the office. He asks if he can have something to eat first, and Lockwood says that he can't eat anything first, because his injury is still bothering him. He tells Lockwood to take care of the children, and then he can take them back to the house to eat some food. Lockwood asks if the doctor is bothering him, and when the doctor says that his brain is aching, Lockwood tells him to lie down and rest. Lockwood thanks him for making porridge for him.
