Episode 6 scene by scene

00:00: Carriage Ride Through the Woods
A masked guard orders Eileen to quit struggling while the carriage travels down a wooded path. Eileen keeps silent and slides her tied wrists against a jagged wooden splinter. She saws the coarse rope back and forth until the fibers separate.
00:23: Escape From the Moving Carriage
Once her hands break free, Eileen strikes her captor inside the carriage. She snatches a ring of metal tags from him and kicks open the door. Eileen dives into the thick forest leaves while the wheels still roll along the trail.
00:35: Hiding Behind a Tree
The guard halts the carriage and jumps down to chase her on foot. Eileen ducks behind a broad tree trunk and presses her back flat against the bark. She holds her breath in silence until the guard sprints past her hiding spot.
00:45: A Nobleman Finds the Ribbon
A nobleman rides up on horseback and dismounts in the dirt. He spots Eileen's light blue ribbon lying on the ground, picks it up, and calls her name. He climbs back into the saddle and rides forward to track her path.
00:59: Discovery in the Old Barn
Eileen slips into an old barn where Theo hides in fear. She demands the cut buckle and sets a horseshoe beside tags marked "G.S." atop a barrel. Comparing the damaged items, Eileen determines Lady Vera's fall was planned rather than an accident.
