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.
