Polly leads a girls and boys group at a hillside stage for a playful tag game. The children chase and laugh as Polly calms the little ones with a circus song about Van Amberg before Hasty interrupts with news. The scene ends with Polly guiding the kids toward a grove for a new game.
Polly and Hasty discuss Ge circles and the Wakefield circus as Polly, recovering from an injury, resists her old life. Mandy helps with decorations while Polly shows a small red book of rules she must follow, and Douglas spots it, realizing it's Polly’s list of “don’ts.”
Dialogue from a rural classroom shows Polly instructing Mandy on proper speech while Mandy resists, arguing she must be understood. Polly insists language matters and teaches phrases like sitting up and taught him. The scene hints at cultural tensions and gender roles in a likely weekly feature.
