They really want one to fail for entertaining, huh? Or they are harsh to 'pitiful one'. Edward looks like he want her to fail in previous part too.
I prefer Emilyko solve this on her own more than other people come back to help her.
But, how could she do that, the shear is on Ricky. Would charging the cart towards those brances do anything?
On the another note, Shirley might know more than she shows. She controls her emotion way too good. Maybe she doesn't talk much all for this moment.
