Tara accidentally ripped the tapestry when she rescued Bella. Now Cotton Lively, a trainee Everine from the 17th century who has a nasty disease, has escaped through the rip.

It's the Night of the Stench, when the bog turns against the village. Tara asks the tapestry what her future holds, and is horrified when it predicts Cameron's doom.

Tara is reunited with Drifty, her old teddy bear, who could always help her sleep when she was young. But he's been fixed with golden thread, which only adds to Tara's problems as he sends people to sleep.
