Candy can watch the progress of the festival from her window in the contemplation room and realizes that she could have been on the flower stage along with the other May-flower girls. Neither Annie nor the Cornwell brothers enjoy the May festival much without her. Eliza invites Terry to dance with her to no avail. Meanwhile, Patricia delivers a package from grandfather William to Candy: a Romeo and a Juliet costume. Disguised as Romeo, Candy escapes and invites Annie to dance with her, and, forgetting her male attire, invites Alistear next for a dance. But Eliza interrupts them and invites Romeo for a dance. Candy refuses and walks off. Eliza follows him to find out more and fins out Romeo's true identity as Candy changes into Juliet's costume. Terry informs her that Eliza knows about Romeo and invites her for a dance on the hill. But when she mentions Anthony, Terry explodes that he is not interested in girls that pine after dead boys. Insulted, Candy returns to the festival in her Juliet costume and nudges Alistear to invite Patricia for a dance. The two discover their mutual chemistry. Meanwhile, Eliza acquires Sister Gray's approval to visit the contemplation room and Candy is unable to make it back in time. Luckily, Terry pretends to be her, sleeping in bed to foil Eliza's scheme. Feeling generous at the end of the day, Sister Gray frees Candy and allows her to be there for the bonfire.
