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 Fuggy, her old teddy bear. Fuggy could always get Tara to sleep as a baby, but now he has been mended with golden thread, his lullaby sends people to sleep forever.

Tara hatches a plan to pull her magical self out of the tapestry to help defeat Bridget. Instead, she pulls out Tallulah Brinkworth, her fictional alter ego.
