S2 E7: Twice the pie. Double the fall.

Rou and Eight make it to the pie-eating competition, which is run by a gnome named Reginald. The goal is to eat as many pies as possible in an hour - no regurgitation, no passing out, and no leaving the table for any reason. While preparing for the competition, Rou and Eight meet Jane, the reigning champion. Eventually, Jane and Eight are all that remain at the table. Unfortunately, Jane starts to choke, and Eight attempts to save her. 

Afterward, Eight takes some food from her plate and tastes it in an attempt to discern if there is foul play. Eight is able to recognize she has been poisoned but they don’t recognize the specific poison and she is taken off to the medical tent. Eight wins a trophy and a coin purse for being the one individual remaining at the table. Reginald tells them to go off and enjoy the festival, he will report the incident to the guards and if they want to talk to Eight and Rou, they will find them. Rou mentions where they are staying, then he and Eight decide to go see Jane at the medical tent.

As they head that way they discuss the implications of the contest and who could have poisoned Jane, why they did it, and how they did it. When they arrive they learn Jane has passed. Eight hands over the trophy and they ask the medical staff to leave it with her as it was part of her effects.
