    In this immersive and surreal episode, we follow Eloise through her final journey in Oxonia. The day takes our young protagonist through Oxford's eccentric and enchanting May Day festivities, from dawn rituals and choral hymns to an intoxicating afternoon of communal celebration. As the day (and our series) comes to a close, Eloise satisfies her curiosity and visits the Ace of Clubs—a hidden literary cult cloaked in symbolism, eccentric scholarship, and theatrical madness. Our final episode is a haunting reflection on identity and timelessness.

    As the pressures of final essays mount, Eloise flees Oxford for the unassuming riverside town of Wallingford on the outskirts of Oxfordshire—once home to Agatha Christie. Among castle ruins, tea kettles, and fading carpets, she finds both clarity and questions. With her thoughts sharpened by isolation and the strange peace of a town frozen in time, Eloise begins to see the events of her year as more than coincidence: a pattern emerges, tied together by playing cards and cryptic gestures. Who is behind it? And why? As she returns to Oxford with her essay submitted and her mind alight, the final piece of the puzzle awaits in her... This Episode signals the approach of a long-awaited reckoning.

    This episode unfolds at a springtime scholars' garden party on historic college grounds, where trimmed hedges, buzzing bees, and eccentric academics set the scene for a day steeped in beauty and introspection.

    A line from C.S. Lewis—“Imagination is the organ of meaning”—echoes through the narrative, guiding a quiet journey from lighthearted conversation to a deeper, more haunting experience. Professor Simon Horobin describes the legacy of C.S. Lewis in Oxford.

    An immersive blend of literary musings, seasonal imagery, and subtle emotion, this episode finds Eloise searching for her place in a world both enchanted and real.
